Second Hand Hyundai ix35 Door Card

The Hyundai ix35 ran as a single generation in the UK from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift arriving around 2013, so a 2012 card is pre-facelift and a 2015 card is post-facelift. The facelift brought interior trim updates that may mean the panels differ in finish or fixings, so while the basic door structure is shared, crossing that 2013 boundary means you should confirm the specific part number with the breaker against both registrations before buying. Never assume a pre-facelift card will drop straight in to a post-facelift door.

Yes, side matters — door cards are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, passenger/left) and offside (OS, driver/right) cards are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. When asking a breaker for a quote, always specify NS or OS clearly alongside your registration. Fitting the wrong side will mean clip positions, speaker cutouts, and handle apertures will not align correctly.

The Hyundai ix35 was sold in the UK in trim levels including Classic, Premium, and Premium SE, and while the underlying door card frame and fixings are generally the same across trims, higher specifications may have differences such as additional speaker grilles, ambient lighting apertures, or different surface materials. Fitment of the frame itself is typically unaffected by trim level, but you may end up with a card that looks different to your original, so it is worth telling the breaker your trim level so they can match it as closely as possible. Colour and material finish can be adapted, but functional holes and clip patterns are what determine whether the card actually fits.

The Hyundai ix35 was sold exclusively as a five-door SUV in the UK, so there is no three-door variant to worry about, which simplifies things — you simply need to specify front or rear, and NS or OS. Make sure you tell the breaker whether you need a front or rear door card, as these are completely different parts and will not interchange.

The ix35 and the first-generation Tucson (JM, 2004–2009) are different generations of the same model line but are not the same vehicle, and their door cards are not a straightforward swap. The ix35 (LM generation, 2010–2015) has a different body structure and interior, so parts from the older Tucson should not be assumed to fit. Always quote your ix35 registration to the breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility rather than relying on the shared heritage of the two names.

No — the engine type has no bearing on door card fitment, as the door structure and interior trim are identical regardless of whether your ix35 is petrol or diesel. What matters for getting the right card is the year of your vehicle (particularly whether it is pre- or post-2013 facelift), which door (front or rear), and which side (NS nearside passenger or OS offside driver). Give the breaker your full registration and they can check the exact specification from there.
