Used Hyundai i30 Centre Console

The i30 has gone through distinct generations — the first generation ran from 2007 to 2012, the second generation from 2012 to 2017 (with a facelift around 2015), and the third generation from 2017 onwards — and centre consoles are not interchangeable across these generational boundaries as the interior architecture changes significantly between them. Within the same generation, consoles are generally a much closer match, but always confirm the exact generation of the donor car with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Yes, the Hyundai i30 has always been fitted with a centre console across all generations and body styles, so this is a straightforward used part to source. It houses controls, a storage compartment, and in many cases the gear selector surround, all of which vary in style between generations and trim levels.

The 2014 and 2016 i30 both sit within the second generation (2012–2017), though 2014 is pre-facelift and 2016 is post-facelift (the facelift arrived around 2015), and interior trim details including the centre console can differ between pre- and post-facelift cars. The console may physically fit, but there can be differences in finish, switchgear cutouts, or trim detailing, so confirm the specific pre- or post-facelift origin of the part with the breaker against your registration.

Trim level can matter for the i30 centre console, as higher trims such as Premium and Premium Sport can feature different materials, finishes, or integrated controls compared to entry-level trims like S or SE. The console will generally be the same basic unit for a given generation, but cosmetic differences in trim, stitching, or button layouts mean what you receive may not look identical to your original even if it fits. Always let the breaker know your trim level so they can find the closest match.

The centre console itself is not typically affected by door count on the i30, as it is a fixed interior component unrelated to the door configuration. What matters far more for fitment is the generation and trim level of the donor car, so focus on matching those when speaking to the breaker.

No — engine type has no bearing on centre console fitment for the i30, so it does not matter whether the donor car was a petrol, diesel, or hybrid variant. Focus instead on matching the generation and trim level, and confirm these details with the breaker against your registration to get the best cosmetic and functional match.
