Used Hyundai i20 Bonnet Latch

The Hyundai i20 has run across two main generations — the first generation (2008–2014) and the second generation (2015 onwards, with a facelift around 2018) — and the bonnet latch is unlikely to be shared between these generations due to differences in front-end structure. Within the same generation, latches are generally consistent regardless of body style or engine, but whether a pre-facelift latch crosses over to a post-facelift car within the same generation is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number, as panel and catch geometry can change at facelift points.

No — the first generation i20 (2008–2014) and the second generation i20 (2015 onwards) are built on different platforms with different front-end structures, so the bonnet latch from one generation is not expected to interchange with the other. Always source a latch from the same generation as your car, and give the breaker your registration to confirm the exact match.

Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the i20 — the latch is part of the front-end structure and is the same across trim variants like Classic, SE, N Line, and Premium within a given generation and facelift period. You may find minor cosmetic differences in finish or colour on secondhand parts, but mechanically the part is interchangeable across trims within the same generation, so don't let trim level steer you away from an otherwise correct donor car.

The second generation i20 launched in 2015 and the facelift arrived around 2018, so a 2015, 2016, and 2017 car should all be in the same pre-facelift phase of the second generation, making the bonnet latch likely compatible across those years. That said, always confirm with the breaker using your registration, as build-date overlaps can occasionally mean a 2017 car has some updated components.

No — the bonnet latch on the i20 is not engine-specific and is shared across petrol and diesel variants within the same generation and facelift period. Whether your car has a 1.0 T-GDI, a 1.2 petrol, or a 1.4 diesel makes no difference to which latch you need, so you can source from any donor car of the right generation without worrying about engine type.

The second generation i20 received a facelift around 2018, meaning a 2017 car is pre-facelift and a 2019 car is post-facelift — these sit either side of a known front-end revision boundary. Whether the bonnet latch itself is interchangeable across that facelift is not something that can be confirmed with certainty here, so please check with the breaker quoting against your registration number to be sure.
