2020 KIA TELLURIDE EX

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage title and identify the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible evidence supports the auction’s front-end damage classification. However, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The 2020 Kia Telluride has severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The hood is heavily creased and buckled across the front and left side, with an uneven raised gap above the grille. The left front fender is severely deformed and torn around the wheel opening, with portions of the panel and wheel-arch area missing. The left headlamp assembly is absent, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The front bumper cover is damaged, partially detached, and missing sections at the left corner. Other body panels and trim are missing or torn away, exposing brackets, wiring, and additional front-end components. Detached bumper parts, a wheel-arch liner, trim pieces, and an electrical component with wiring are shown on the ground beside the vehicle. A shallow-to-moderate crease and depression are visible in the lower-middle area of the left front door. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and a lower dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, drivetrain, or underlying body structure. A comprehensive mechanical, electrical, structural, and restraint-system inspection will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2020 Kia Telluride EX SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline V6 engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is configured as an eight-passenger, three-row vehicle. NHTSA records provided for this model year list recalls involving rear and child-restraint seat belts (19V594000), trailer brake-light wiring when Smart Cruise Control is used (20V436000), certain tow-hitch harnesses that may short and cause a fire (22V626000), high-beam headlights (24V148000), the intermediate shaft and right-front driveshaft (24V214000), and front power-seat motors that may overheat (24V407000 and the listed replacement campaign 26V430000). Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Kia or NHTSA before the vehicle is operated or purchased.
