    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.

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

    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.

    Quoting prices in the US...

    You're looking at around $3500 just in parts. The airbags are $1100 each. The body parts (hood/fenders) actually aren't that expensive. Another $2,000 - $2,500 in labor/paint/etc. and this could easily be a $5,000 repair in the states. And that's if there's no damage we can't see.

    If that's a 2015 with 40,000 miles, it might be worth $6,000 on a good day. If you were in the US, I'm pretty sure it would be totaled.
