Hyundai i40 Towbar Replacement Parts

Yes, a factory-fitted or dealer-fitted towbar was available as an accessory on the Hyundai i40, and aftermarket towbars were also widely produced for it, so used towbars do exist for this model. The i40 was sold as both a saloon and an estate (Tourer), and towbars were offered across both body styles, though the estate was the more commonly tow-bar-equipped variant. If you are sourcing a used towbar, confirm with the breaker whether the unit came from a saloon or estate, as the mounting and wiring setup may differ.

No — the saloon and estate (Tourer) have different rear body structures, so a towbar designed for one body style will not correctly fit the other. The rear underbody, bumper cut-outs, and chassis mounting points differ between the two, meaning the brackets will not align. Always confirm the body style of the donor vehicle with the breaker before buying.

The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation from 2011 to 2019, so there is no cross-generation compatibility issue to worry about. However, there was a facelift in 2015 which brought bumper styling changes to the rear, and whether this affects towbar bracket or wiring fitment is something you should confirm with the breaker against your own registration. For most bolt-on towbar kits, the main chassis mounting points remained consistent across the production run, but do not assume this without checking.

Trim level — whether Classic, Style, Premium, or Sport — does not affect towbar fitment on the i40, as the relevant chassis and rear structure are the same across trims. What can vary between trims is the rear bumper finish or sensor configuration, which may influence the wiring harness or bypass relay needed rather than the towbar bracket itself. Confirm the sensor setup on your vehicle with the breaker so they can supply matching electrics.

Both years fall within the single i40 generation (2011–2019), which is a good starting point, but the 2015 facelift sits between them and may have introduced changes to the rear bumper or underbody that affect bracket fitment. The core chassis mounting points are likely to be similar, but you should confirm compatibility with the breaker by providing both registrations before purchasing. Never assume fitment across a facelift boundary without checking.

Yes — a complete towbar setup includes the bar and neck, the mounting brackets, and the wiring harness (typically a 13-pin socket for the i40). If your i40 has rear parking sensors, you will also need a bypass relay or a CAN-bus compatible kit to prevent warning lights appearing when a trailer is connected. Ask the breaker whether the unit they have includes all these components, and confirm whether it came from a sensor-equipped car if yours has them.
