2023 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL, Limited

The vehicle is listed in the auction records as having a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” condition, with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification, but the photographs alone do not substantiate the claimed “>75% DAMAGE” level. The vehicle shows severe front-end collision damage. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, and other inner front-end parts. The front-right headlamp assembly is absent, while the front-left fender is deformed and torn. The front-right fender is missing or extensively damaged, exposing the wheel-well and engine-bay areas. Inner front-end sheet metal on the left side of the engine bay is visibly crushed, folded, and displaced. The hood has an irregular, folded front-left edge, and lower front trim and splash-shield components are missing or broken. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The windshield has multiple cracks across the lower driver-side area. The left front door has a broad inward dent and creasing in its mid-to-lower section. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2023 Hyundai Venue wagon manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and a continuously variable transmission. The decoded vehicle information lists standard front, side, and curtain airbags, along with electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. These systems and the complete restraint system should be professionally inspected after the collision, and the vehicle will require substantial front-end, structural, safety-system, glass, and body-panel repairs before road use.
