Hyundai i40 Boot Lid Replacement Parts

The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK from 2011 to 2019 and covers a single generation throughout that run, so there are no cross-generation fitment traps to worry about. There was a facelift in 2015 which updated the front and rear styling, so the boot lid from a pre-facelift car (2011–2015) may not match a post-facelift car (2015–2019) in terms of pressing or shut lines. Always confirm with the breaker whether the part they have is pre- or post-facelift by checking it against your registration.

Your 2013 car is pre-facelift and your 2017 car is post-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2015 facelift boundary. Whether the boot lid pressing itself changed across that facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as mid-generation panel changes are not always straightforward to verify. Do not assume a straight swap without that check.

Yes, this is the most important question to get right — the saloon and estate boot lids are completely different pressings and will not interchange. Make sure you tell the breaker exactly which body style you have before they quote you a part. Getting this wrong means the part simply will not fit regardless of year.

Trim level does not affect which boot lid fits the i40 — the panel itself is the same across SE, Style, Premium, and Premium Sport grades. You may find cosmetic differences such as a spoiler lip or different badge placement depending on the trim the donor car had, so check with the breaker if you want the finish to match your original closely. Structurally and for fitment purposes, trim level is not a concern.

No — the saloon has a traditional three-box boot lid that opens from the boot aperture only, while the estate has a full tailgate that incorporates the rear glass, and the two are entirely different components. There is no crossover between these body styles, so always specify saloon or estate clearly when contacting a breaker.

Colour does not affect fitment at all — a boot lid from any colour i40 of the right body style and era will fit your car correctly. Most buyers source an unmatched colour from a breaker and have it resprayed to match, which is standard practice and usually the most cost-effective route. Just focus on getting the right body style and facelift period confirmed first.
