Used Hyundai i20 Rear Tailgate

The i20 has run across two main generations: the first generation (2008–2014) and the second generation (2015–2020), with a facelift of the second generation arriving in 2018. Tailgates within the same generation and same body style should be compatible, but crossing the 2014–2015 boundary means a completely different platform and panel, so parts from one generation will not fit the other. Always confirm the exact year and shape with your breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Both the 2017 and 2019 i20 fall within the second generation (2015–2020), but 2018 brought a facelift which may have introduced pressing changes to the tailgate panel. Whether a pre-facelift 2017 tailgate swaps directly onto a post-facelift 2019 car is something you should confirm with your breaker against your registration, as mid-generation restyling can affect panel shape and glass aperture even on the same platform.

Yes, the 3-door and 5-door i20 have different tailgate panels and glass, so you must match the door count exactly. A tailgate from a 3-door will not fit a 5-door shell, and vice versa. Always tell your breaker whether your car is 3-door or 5-door when requesting a quote.

The trim level — whether the donor car was an S, SE, Premium, or any other grade — does not affect whether the tailgate panel itself will physically fit your car, as pressing and apertures are the same across trims within the same generation and body style. You may find cosmetic differences such as the presence or absence of a rear wiper, spoiler, or trim finisher depending on the spec of the donor car, so check with your breaker what is included with the panel. Confirm the year and body style match rather than worrying about the trim name.

No — the first and second generation i20 are built on entirely different platforms with different body structures, so a tailgate from the 2008–2014 car will not fit a 2015–2020 model. These are completely separate panels with different dimensions, glass apertures, and hinge positions. Make sure your breaker confirms the generation matches your registration before supplying the part.

Engine choice — whether your i20 is a 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 petrol or a diesel variant — has no bearing on tailgate fitment whatsoever, as the rear bodywork is identical across all engine options within the same generation and body style. Focus instead on getting the correct generation (first gen 2008–2014 or second gen 2015–2020), the correct door count, and whether your car is pre- or post-2018 facelift if it is a second-generation model. Confirm all these details with your breaker against your registration.
