Glad you’re ok and sorry to hear about your crash. Looks like everything functioned like it was supposed to.

That one might actually be repairable. Of course, that doesn't mean the insurance company is willing to shell out enough money to fix it. But, it doesn't look too bad.
Note that the headlights aren't shattered. That's a good sign that the impact didn't get too far back. But, two airbags, hood, fenders, bumper cover, some structure under the bumper, some lights... it all adds up. If there's zero damage to the doors and A-pillars, though... wouldn't be too hard to fix.
Simplify and add lightness.

Oh wait, I just realized you aren't in the USA. Insurance companies over there might not be as greedy as they are here. Good luck.
Could you tell us the reasoning behind this comment?
It might just be me but how does writing off a car and handing me it's value in cash make one more greedy than spending up to the same value to fix my car?
In my case I think they would much rather fix my car because I'm insured for full new car replacement (no depreciation) for first 30 months.
Not trying to call anyone out. Just trying to understand.
Will weld for beer.

In my opinion it is because the shops are so crooked and dishonest in the USA that the insurance company has made computerized statistical calculations and cost projections with their consultants and concluded that it is cheaper to just cash you out then to depend on the shops to charge the repairs accurately.
The insurance industry makes almost all of their decisions based on math, statistics, probability. It reminds me of that good movie MoneyBall

Glad to hear you are okay. Unfortunately the insurance company is going to declare it a total loss.
