Second Hand Hyundai Ioniq 5 Glove Box

Yes, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 does have a glove box on the passenger side of the dashboard, so sourcing a used one from a breaker is a straightforward request. The Ioniq 5 uses a distinctive sliding-tray style centre console rather than a traditional transmission tunnel, but the glove box is a conventional passenger-side unit. You should have no trouble finding one through a dismantler.

The Ioniq 5 was facelifted for the 2024 model year, introducing a revised interior, so a pre-facelift glove box (2021–2023) and a post-facelift unit (2024 onwards) may not be directly interchangeable. You should confirm with the breaker whether the part number from their vehicle matches your registration before buying. Naming the year of both donor and recipient vehicles to the breaker is the safest approach.

The Ioniq 5 was sold in the UK in trims including SE Connect, Premium, and Ultimate, and in most cases the glove box unit itself is the same across these trims. That said, higher trims may have additional features such as a cooled glove box, so the internal mechanism or wiring connector could differ depending on your specification. Check your existing unit and confirm the spec with the breaker to make sure the replacement matches.

No, the drivetrain layout has no bearing on glove box fitment — it is a purely interior part unaffected by whether the car is RWD or AWD. The factors that matter are the generation (pre-facelift 2021–2023 or post-facelift 2024 onwards) and any trim-specific features such as a cooled compartment. Focus on matching the build year and trim specification rather than the drivetrain.

No — in a right-hand-drive car the glove box sits on the nearside (NS, passenger left), whereas in a left-hand-drive car the dashboard is mirrored, so the units are not interchangeable. Always make sure the breaker you are buying from is selling a right-hand-drive part, which is standard for UK-market Ioniq 5s. Confirm this with the breaker before purchasing.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can verify the exact model year and trim, as this will confirm whether you have a pre-facelift (2021–2023) or post-facelift (2024 onwards) car and whether your glove box has a cooling function. Letting them cross-reference part numbers against their donor vehicle is the most reliable way to confirm compatibility. Never assume a part fits based on year alone without the breaker checking against your registration.
