The Hyundai i40 ran from 2011 to 2019 in the UK, with a facelift arriving in 2015 that brought changes to the rear styling including the tailgate pressing and light cluster design. This means a pre-facelift tailgate (2011–2014) and a post-facelift tailgate (2015–2019) are unlikely to be a straight swap. Always confirm the exact fitment against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
No — the estate (tourer) and saloon are completely different body styles with entirely different rear-end structures, so the tailgates are not interchangeable at all. When contacting a breaker, be clear whether you need the estate tourer tailgate or the saloon bootlid, as these are separate parts. Getting this wrong is the most common fitment mistake on rear panels.
Trim level does not affect the tailgate panel itself — a Classic and a Premium SE share the same pressing for the same body style and model year. However, you may find that a tailgate from a different trim arrives with different badging or without a rear wiper or spoiler if spec varied, so check the cosmetic details with the breaker. The structural fitment will be the same regardless of trim.
A 2013 i40 estate tailgate is pre-facelift and a 2016 is post-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2015 facelift boundary. Whether the tailgate pressing itself crosses that boundary and still fits is something you must confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as mid-generation pressing changes are not something we can state as fact here. A breaker who regularly dismantles i40s will be best placed to advise.
The colour of the donor car does not affect whether the tailgate will physically fit your vehicle. Most buyers source an unmatched tailgate and have it resprayed to match, which is standard practice and what most body shops expect. Just make sure the body style and model year match before worrying about colour.
Ask the breaker to check the donor vehicle's VIN or registration so you can confirm whether it is pre-facelift (2011–2014) or post-facelift (2015–2019) and that it matches your body style. Buying without this information carries a real risk of receiving a panel that won't align with your light clusters or body lines. Always confirm year and body style with the breaker against your own registration before agreeing to purchase.
