Used Hyundai i10 Bonnet Latch

The Hyundai i10 moved from the first generation (roughly 2007–2013) to the second generation (2014 onwards) at a full platform change, so a 2012 latch and a 2017 latch are from different generations and are very unlikely to interchange. Within each generation there was also a facelift - the second generation received one around 2016-2017 - and whether the latch itself changed across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Always quote your reg to the breaker so they can pull the exact part number for your car.

The second-generation i10 (2014 onwards) received a facelift in the 2016-2017 period that updated the front-end styling including the grille and bumper area. Whether the bonnet latch itself is identical across that facelift boundary is not something we can state with certainty - confirm this directly with the breaker using your registration number. If the latch body is the same but the striker plate or cable attachment differs slightly, a breaker who has both on the shelf will be able to tell you quickly.

Yes, the Hyundai i10 has a conventional front-hinged bonnet with a standard pull-cable release and bonnet latch mechanism, so this is a genuine part that exists on all variants of the car. There is nothing unusual about the drivetrain or body style of the i10 that would eliminate this part - every petrol and mild-hybrid i10 sold in the UK has one. You are looking for the right part on the right car.

Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the i10 - the latch, striker, and cable mechanism are shared across trim lines such as Classic, SE, Premium, and any other grades within the same generation. The bonnet panel itself is the same pressing regardless of trim, so the latch underneath it is too. Stick to matching generation and facelift period rather than worrying about trim badges.

Engine size and type make no difference to bonnet latch fitment on the i10 - the front-end structure and latch mechanism are identical across the 1.0 and 1.2 petrol engines within the same generation. Focus on the generation (first-gen 2007–2013 or second-gen 2014 onwards) and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift when speaking to a breaker. Quoting your registration is the simplest way to make sure the breaker pulls the correct part.

A 2013 i10 is first-generation and a 2014 i10 is second-generation, meaning these are different platforms with different bonnet designs, so the latch from the older car is very unlikely to be a suitable replacement. This is one of those generation-boundary questions where the answer is almost certainly no, but your breaker can confirm definitively by checking the part numbers against both registrations. Stick to sourcing from a second-generation donor car to give yourself the best chance of a straight swap.
