Second Hand Hyundai i20 Window Winder Motor

These are from different generations — the first-generation i20 ran from 2008 to 2014, while the second generation ran from 2015 onwards, so the two cars share very little in terms of door and motor assemblies. A motor from a 2012 car is very unlikely to fit a 2016 car, but you should confirm this directly with the breaker quoting against your registration, as they can check part numbers. Never assume cross-generation fitment without verification.

No — the front door on a 3-door i20 is a longer, different-shaped door to the front door on a 5-door, so the winder motor and regulator assembly are specific to each body style. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door when requesting a quote. Rear motors on the 5-door are their own fitment entirely and do not cross over to the 3-door front.

Yes, this is critical — window winder motors are side-specific, and you must specify NS (nearside, passenger side, left) or OS (offside, driver side, right) when contacting a breaker. Supplying the wrong side is one of the most common ordering mistakes on window regulators and motors. Double-check which window is faulty before requesting a quote.

The first-generation i20 (2008–2014) received a facelift during its run, and while the overall body structure remained broadly similar, whether the motor and regulator assembly interchanges cleanly across the facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Give the breaker your exact registration so they can check the part number rather than relying on year alone. This is the safest approach when sourcing across a known refresh point.

For the window winder motor itself, trim level (S, SE, Classic, Sport, or similar) does not affect whether the motor physically fits, as fitment is determined by generation, body style, and side rather than trim. However, if a higher trim door card was finished differently, the breaker may supply a motor with a slightly different surround or trim piece attached — this is cosmetic and can be swapped over. Confirm the generation, door count, and side with the breaker and trim differences need not concern you beyond appearance.

No — petrol, diesel, or any engine variant makes no difference to window winder motor fitment on the i20. The motor is part of the door assembly and is determined entirely by generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and which side (NS or OS) you need. You can safely ignore engine details when sourcing this part.
