Used Hyundai i10 Ignition Switch

Most Hyundai i10 models use a conventional barrel-type ignition switch that you turn with a key, so yes, the part exists on this model across all three generations. Some later i10s were offered with a push-button start as an option on higher trims, meaning those cars do not have a traditional ignition switch in the same way. When searching for a used part, confirm with the breaker whether your car has a keyed ignition or push-button start, as the parts are not interchangeable.

The first-generation i10 ran from 2007 to 2013, and the second generation from 2013 to 2019, and these are distinct platforms with different steering column assemblies, so fitment across that boundary is not straightforward. It is unlikely that the ignition switch barrel and housing will swap directly between these generations without modification. Confirm the generation of the donor car with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Both a 2015 and a 2017 i10 fall within the second generation (2013–2019), so they share the same basic platform and the ignition switch is generally considered compatible within this generation. That said, confirm the donor car's exact year and spec with the breaker against your registration, as minor running changes can occur mid-generation. Never assume fitment is guaranteed without that check.

Trim level does not affect ignition switch fitment on the i10 – the switch is determined by the generation and whether the car has a keyed or push-button ignition, not by whether it is a Classic, SE, Premium, or any other trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the surround or fascia trim around the barrel, but the functional switch itself should interchange within the same generation and ignition type. Confirm the donor vehicle's generation and ignition type with the breaker to be sure.

Engine size does not affect ignition switch fitment on the i10 – the switch relates to the steering column assembly rather than the drivetrain, so a 1.0 and a 1.2 petrol i10 of the same generation should use the same switch. The key variable is generation (first-gen 2007–2013, second-gen 2013–2019, third-gen 2019 onwards) and whether your car has a conventional keyed ignition. Confirm these details with the breaker against your registration.

The third-generation i10 launched in 2019 on a new platform and is not the same as the second-generation (2013–2019) car, so the ignition switch is very unlikely to be a direct swap across that generational boundary. Third-gen models also saw a wider rollout of push-button start on certain trims, which further complicates cross-generation sourcing. Tell the breaker your exact registration so they can match the correct generation and ignition type to your vehicle.
