Cheap Hyundai Ioniq Air Filter

The Ioniq was sold in three distinct drivetrain variants in the UK: the Ioniq Hybrid (1.6 GDi petrol with electric motor), the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid (also 1.6 GDi petrol with electric motor), and the Ioniq Electric, which is fully battery-powered with no combustion engine at all. The Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants do have a conventional engine air filter because they have a petrol engine; the Ioniq Electric does not have one and never did. If you own the Electric variant and are looking for a cabin pollen filter, that is a completely separate part and what you may actually need.

The Hyundai Ioniq ran as a single generation from its UK launch in 2016 through to around 2022, with a facelift arriving for the 2019 model year. Both the pre-facelift (2016-2019) and post-facelift (2019-2022) Hybrid use the same 1.6 GDi petrol engine, so the air filter specification is driven by that engine code rather than the facelift year. In principle these should be compatible, but you should confirm with the breaker quoting against your specific registration and engine code before buying, as ancillary housing or mounting details can occasionally differ across a facelift boundary.

No, trim level makes no difference to the air filter on the Ioniq. SE, Premium, and Premium SE are all fitted with the same 1.6 GDi petrol engine on Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid models, and the air filter follows the engine, not the badge or trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the engine bay plastic covers between trim levels, but the filter itself is the same part; just confirm the engine code with the breaker to be safe.

The most useful thing you can supply is the engine code, which is on your V5C logbook or available via a VIN check, along with whether your Ioniq is a Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid. Year of manufacture helps the breaker narrow down stock, but the engine code is the single most reliable piece of information for confirming you get the right part. There is no need to tell them your trim level or colour, as those details play no part in fitment for this type of component.

Both the standard Hybrid and the Plug-in Hybrid share the same 1.6 GDi petrol engine, so the air filter is expected to be the same part across both variants. That said, you should verify the engine codes match on both vehicles before purchasing from a breaker, as the safest approach is always to confirm part compatibility against your specific registration rather than assuming based on engine family alone.
