The Hyundai ix35 uses a gas-assisted bonnet strut rather than a manual prop rod, so there is a genuine strut to source. This applies across all variants of the ix35 sold in the UK, regardless of engine or drivetrain. You are looking in the right place.
The Hyundai ix35 ran from 2010 to 2015 in the UK on a single generation, but received a facelift in 2013 that brought changes to the front end including the bonnet, grille and lights. Because the bonnet itself may differ across that facelift boundary, the strut geometry and mounting points could differ too, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the strut from a pre-facelift (2010–2013) car matches your post-facelift (2013–2015) registration before buying.
Trim level does not affect the bonnet strut on the ix35 — Classic, Style, Premium and SE grades all share the same bonnet and strut setup within the same facelift period. There are no trim-specific bonnet variants that would change the strut. Simply match the year of the donor car to your facelift period and you are looking at the right part.
No — the drivetrain has no bearing on the bonnet or its strut, as the front-end structure is identical across 2WD and 4WD ix35 models. Either version of the car will carry the same strut, so do not filter by drivetrain when getting quotes from breakers.
Engine choice — whether 1.6 petrol, 2.0 petrol, 1.7 CRDi or 2.0 CRDi — does not affect the bonnet strut on the ix35. The bonnet and its supporting strut are shared across all engine variants, so any ix35 of the correct facelift period can serve as a suitable donor car.
Your 2012 ix35 is a pre-facelift model, while a 2015 car falls in the post-facelift period after the 2013 update, meaning the bonnets on the two cars may not be identical. Whether the strut itself interchanges across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker by quoting both registrations, as mounting points or strut length can vary if the bonnet pressing changed at the facelift. A pre-facelift donor from 2010–2013 is the safer starting point for your car.
