Second Hand Hyundai i20 Dashboard

These two cars fall into different generations — the first-generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014, while the second generation launched in 2014, so a 2015 dashboard will not fit a 2012 car. Stick to a donor car from the same generation as yours. Always confirm the exact year and generation with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Both sit in the second-generation i20 (2014 onwards), so they share the same basic platform and a swap is more likely to be compatible. That said, if Hyundai made any mid-cycle interior revisions, individual components could differ, so ask the breaker to confirm against your specific registration. Never guarantee fitment on any used part without that check.

No — the dashboard is an interior part and is not affected by which engine is fitted to your car. What matters for a correct match is the generation of your i20, the trim level, and whether it is a 3-door or 5-door body. Focus your search on those details and ignore the engine when comparing donor cars.

Trim level can make a difference to the i20 dashboard because higher trims such as Premium and SE often have different instrument cluster surrounds, infotainment fascias, or switchgear panels compared to entry-level trims like Classic or S. The core structure may be the same, but you may end up with a dashboard that has blanked-off switch holes or a different finish if the trims do not match. Aim to source from a donor car on the same trim as yours, and confirm the trim grade with the breaker against your registration.

Yes, this is important — the dashboard itself houses or mounts the passenger airbag, which is a safety-critical component. Airbags are single-use items and must not be refitted if previously deployed; always confirm with the breaker that any airbag module present has never been triggered. Compatibility of an airbag module with your specific SRS system is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration, and professional fitting is strongly recommended for any dashboard work involving airbag components.

Yes, you should match the door count where possible, as the dashboard can differ between body styles due to variations in the way interior panels, pillars, and switchgear are configured. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door when requesting a quote, and ask them to confirm the part came from the same body style. Confirming this against your registration with the breaker before purchase is the safest approach.
