The Hyundai Ioniq (2016 onwards) uses a bonnet strut (gas strut) rather than a traditional stay rod, so you are looking for the right part. There is a strut on each side of the bonnet, one on the NS (nearside/passenger side) and one on the OS (offside/driver side). Make sure you specify which side you need when requesting a quote from a breaker.
The Hyundai Ioniq ran from 2016 in its pre-facelift form, with a facelift arriving for the 2019-2020 model year that brought revised front-end styling including updated bonnet, lights and grille. Because the bonnet itself may differ between pre-facelift and facelift cars, the strut mounting points could vary, so whether a pre-facelift strut crosses over to a facelifted car is not something that can be confirmed here - check the part against your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the Ioniq - the strut is determined by the generation and facelift period, not by whether the car is SE, Premium, or Premium SE. You may find that higher trims came with different bonnet insulation pads or badges, but the strut itself is the same across trims within the same build period. Simply match the year and facelift phase rather than worrying about trim name.
The Ioniq was offered as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric model, all sharing the same bodyshell and front-end structure within a given generation. The bonnet strut fitment is not affected by which drivetrain variant you have, so a strut from a hybrid car of the same generation and facelift phase should correspond to your PHEV or EV - confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Both 2017 and 2018 Ioniqs fall within the pre-facelift generation (2016 to approximately 2019), so a strut from a 2018 car is highly likely to be compatible with a 2017 car. Fitment within the same generation and facelift phase is generally straightforward, but always give the breaker your registration so they can cross-reference the part before it is sent out.
Bonnet struts on the Ioniq are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) struts are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, state clearly which side you need - NS or OS - as well as your registration and build year so they can pull the correct unit from the donor car.
