Second Hand Hyundai i10 Front Grille

The i10 has run across two main generations in the UK: the first generation (IA) ran from 2013 to 2019, and the second generation (BA) launched in 2020 and is still current. Within each generation there are facelift updates that changed the front-end styling, including the grille, so the year of your specific car matters when sourcing a used grille. Always give your full registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct part.

Both the 2015 and 2017 i10 fall within the first-generation (IA) range, which ran from 2013 to 2019, and the first generation received a facelift around 2016 that updated the front-end panels including the grille. Because your two cars sit either side of that facelift boundary, whether the grille will interchange directly is not something we can confirm here — check with your breaker against both registrations to be sure.

Trim level — whether your car is an SE, SE Connect, Premium, or any other grade — does not determine which grille shell fits your i10, as front-end panels are shared across the range within a generation and facelift period. Bear in mind that higher trim lines sometimes feature a grille with chrome detailing or a slightly different finish compared with entry-level cars, so while the fitment is the same, the cosmetic appearance may differ. Let the breaker know your trim if you want to match the finish as closely as possible.

Both years sit within the current second-generation (BA) i10, which launched in 2020, so they share the same front-end platform and a grille from a 2021 car should be a strong candidate for a 2023 car. That said, always confirm with your breaker against your exact registration, as minor mid-cycle updates can occasionally affect panel compatibility.

Front grilles are part of the front-end structure, which is shared regardless of door count, so a grille from a matching-generation i10 should not be affected by how many doors either car has. The key factors to match are the generation and facelift period, not the body configuration. Confirm the year and any facelift details with your breaker using your registration to be certain.

Without knowing the year it is very difficult to be sure the grille is from the correct generation (IA 2013–2019 or BA 2020–present) and, critically, the right side of the facelift boundary within that generation, as the front-end styling changed noticeably at each update. We would recommend asking the breaker to look the part up against your registration rather than buying blind on price alone. A grille that doesn't fit is no saving at all.
