2026 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL, SEL w/ 2-Tone Roof

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Salvage and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage classification through extensive front-end collision damage. However, the Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle has severe damage across the front end. The hood has multiple large creases and a raised, uneven front edge. The front bumper cover and center grille are missing, while the front fascia, lower corner trim, and several support pieces are absent, detached, or broken. The leading edges of both visible front fenders are displaced and damaged at the bumper junctions. One front headlamp assembly is detached and hanging below the front corner. The exposed radiator and condenser assemblies have bent and compressed fins, and the surrounding support structure, brackets, lower reinforcement, and other front-end members show visible bending, displacement, or compression. The removed bumper cover, grille, and additional front trim and support components are shown detached from the vehicle. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag has deployed and is hanging into the cabin. Airbag-system replacement and collision-related restraint-system inspection will be required. The visible damage also warrants a thorough inspection of the vehicle structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting, steering, suspension, and other components before repair or operation; their functional condition cannot be determined from the provided findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2026 Hyundai Venue wagon manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a gasoline 1.6-liter MPI Gamma II engine and is listed in the SEL or SEL with 2-Tone Roof trim range. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and other driver-assistance systems. These systems should be tested and recalibrated as necessary after collision repairs.
