Looks fixable.

Newish cars take a lot to write off. As long as the main crush beams aren't compromised too much it's amazing what will pull straight these days.

And since the alignment frames use the same laser alignment holes as the factory it literally cannot be repaired incorrectly without a lot of effort butchering the job. The best shops are using computer controlled frame machines now that pull back to the original alignment holes drilled into the body panels before the car was assembled at the factory.

Relax, your car was made to be bent and straightened a few times before it is scrap. Steel is wonderful stuff.

You'll get a brand new hood since aluminum isn't easy to straighten. The damages look awful but most of that stuff just unbolts and new stuff is bolted on.

Get lots of recommendations from people you trust about who the good body shops are in your area. Then choose what sounds the best.
