Hyundai i30 Seat Replacement Parts

These are from different generations — the first-gen i30 ran from 2007 to 2012, while the second-gen (GD) ran from 2012 to 2017, so a 2010 seat and a 2015 seat are not a direct swap. Seats are interior parts that match by generation, and crossing that 2012 boundary means the mounting points, runners, and trim connections are unlikely to be compatible. Confirm with the breaker using both registration numbers before purchasing.

Both years fall within the second-generation i30 (GD, 2012–2017), so there is a realistic chance of compatibility, but Hyundai introduced a facelift around 2015 that brought changes to interior trim and finishes. Whether seats cross that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as subtle differences in fixings or side-airbag wiring looms can affect fitment. Never assume a swap is safe without the breaker verifying part numbers.

Trim level does matter for i30 seats because cloth seat style, bolstering, and heating elements vary between trims such as SE, SR, and Premium. A seat from a different trim will physically mount in the same generation car, but you should expect cosmetic differences — different fabric, stitching, or the absence of heating connectors — and electrical connectors for heated or memory seats may not match. Tell the breaker your exact trim so they can match as closely as possible.

No — driver (OS, offside) and passenger (NS, nearside) seats are handed differently, with separate runner mechanisms, and on many i30s the driver's seat includes additional height or lumbar adjusters not present on the passenger side. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from a breaker, as supplying the wrong side is a common and costly mistake. If your seat contains a side airbag, also see the safety note below regarding professional fitting.

Side airbags built into seat backs are safety-critical components, and a used seat should only be fitted by a qualified technician who can verify the airbag module is compatible with your car's specific SRS system — this is not something we can confirm here, so route that question to the breaker using your registration. It is also important to know that airbag modules and pretensioner seat belts are single-use items; if either has deployed in the donor car, they must not be reused. Do not fit a safety-critical seat yourself without professional assessment.

The i30 was offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles within the same generation, and the seat frames themselves are generally the same regardless of door count. However, door count can influence rear seat access hardware and side trim connections, so it is worth mentioning your door count to the breaker when requesting a quote. Fitment is not guaranteed and the breaker should cross-reference both registrations to be sure.
