Used Hyundai i20 Seat

The i20 runs across two main generations: the first generation (2008–2014) and the second generation (2015–2023, with a facelift around 2018), so seats from within the same generation are your starting point for compatibility. Crossing the 2015 boundary is unlikely to work due to a full platform and interior redesign, so always confirm exact fitment with the breaker against your registration. Within each generation, trim level and door count also affect whether a seat will drop straight in.

The 2013 car is first generation (2008–2014) and the 2015 car is second generation, so these sit either side of a full model change and the seats are not expected to be interchangeable. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as differences in mounting points, side airbags, and belt pretensioners make a like-for-like swap unlikely. Staying within the same generation is strongly recommended.

Yes, door count can affect rear seat fitment in particular, as the rear bench may differ in shape or mounting between body styles, so it is worth specifying your door count when requesting a quote from a breaker. Front seat fitment is generally consistent between 3-door and 5-door cars of the same generation and trim, but always confirm against your registration to be sure.

Yes, trim level matters for the i20 — higher trims such as Premium and Sport can feature different seat upholstery, bolstering, or integrated features compared to entry trims like Classic or SE, so a seat may physically fit but look or feel noticeably different in your car. Structurally, mounting points within the same generation are generally consistent across trims, but confirm with the breaker that the seat style matches yours before buying. If your seat contains a side airbag, professional fitting is essential, as seat airbags are safety-critical and single-use after deployment.

Always specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) when asking a breaker for a quote, as front seats are handed and will not swap between sides. Getting this wrong means the seat will not align correctly with the door, belt anchor, or any side airbag present, so double-check before ordering.

If the seat contains a side airbag or is connected to a pretensioner seatbelt, professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended, as these are safety-critical components. Both airbags and pretensioners are single-use items — if the part you are buying has been deployed, it cannot protect you in a collision. Also confirm with the breaker that any airbag module is compatible with your specific SRS system, as this cannot be assumed and varies by vehicle.
