Second Hand Hyundai i40 Glove Box

The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK as a single generation, produced from 2011 to 2019, so all i40 glove boxes come from the same generation of car. That said, there was a facelift around 2015 which brought some interior trim updates, and whether the glove box itself changed across that facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. As a general rule, pre-facelift (2011–2015) and post-facelift (2015–2019) parts are most reliably sourced like-for-like.

A 2013 i40 is a pre-facelift car and a 2016 is post-facelift, so they sit either side of the mid-generation refresh around 2015. The glove box may well interchange, but because the facelift can affect interior trim details, you should confirm with the breaker using both registrations before buying. Don't assume fitment across that boundary without checking.

The i40 was sold in the UK in trim levels including S, SE, Active, Premium, and Premium SE, and in most cases the glove box shell and fitment are the same across trims. You may find cosmetic differences such as finish quality or whether a lock is fitted depending on specification, so it's worth mentioning your trim to the breaker so they can match like-for-like. Engine choice makes no difference to glove box fitment.

The glove box sits in the dashboard, which is shared across both the saloon and estate (Wagon) body styles of the i40, so body style should not affect fitment. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration just to be safe, but engine and body style are generally not relevant factors for this interior part.

No, the engine and gearbox have no bearing on glove box fitment — this is a pure interior trim part mounted in the dashboard. Whether your i40 has the 1.6 petrol, 1.7 CRDi diesel, or any other variant, the glove box fitment is determined by generation and trim level, not drivetrain. Just make sure the breaker matches the part to your model year and trim.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the exact model year and trim level, and mention whether you need any specific features such as a lock or illumination if your current glove box has them. Let them know if you have a preference for pre-facelift (2011–2015) or post-facelift (2015–2019) to help them source the closest match. A used glove box is a straightforward interior part, but confirming trim spec helps avoid cosmetic mismatches.
