Hyundai i20 Door Hinge Replacement Parts

The i20 ran as two distinct generations — the first from 2008 to 2014 and the second from 2014 onwards — and the bodyshell changed significantly between them, so hinges from the two generations are not interchangeable. If your car sits right on or near the 2014 changeover, confirm your exact generation with your registration before ordering. Always verify the specific part number with the breaker to be certain.

Yes, this matters — the front door dimensions differ between the 3-door and 5-door body styles because the 3-door front door is longer to compensate for the absence of rear doors, meaning the hinge geometry is different. Always specify 3-door or 5-door when requesting a quote from the breaker. Rear door hinges are only relevant to the 5-door variant, as the 3-door has no rear doors.

Trim level does not affect door hinge fitment — the hinge is part of the structural frame and is the same regardless of whether the donor car is an S, SE, Premium or Sport trim. You may find cosmetic differences such as paint finish on the donor part, but hinges can be resprayed or painted to match. Confirm generation, body style (3dr or 5dr) and side (NS or OS) with the breaker rather than worrying about trim.

Yes, side matters — nearside (NS, passenger/left) and offside (OS, driver/right) hinges are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, always specify NS or OS as well as whether you need the upper or lower hinge, as both are typically present per door. Getting the wrong side is one of the most common ordering mistakes, so double-check before confirming your quote.

The second-generation i20 received a facelift during its production run, and while the overall bodyshell remained the same generation, subtle panel and door changes with facelifts can sometimes affect hinge compatibility. It is worth confirming with the breaker whether the specific hinge from a pre-facelift or post-facelift donor matches your car's registration, rather than assuming all second-gen parts are interchangeable. Providing your registration to the breaker is the safest way to verify this.

No — engine size, fuel type and gearbox have no bearing on door hinge fitment whatsoever. The hinge is determined purely by generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and side (NS or OS). You can safely ignore drivetrain details when searching for a used door hinge.
