Used Hyundai Kona Curtain Airbag

The Hyundai Kona first generation ran from 2017 to 2023, but received a facelift in 2020, so a 2018 car is pre-facelift and a 2021 car is post-facelift — and the facelift brought interior revisions that can affect airbag system compatibility. Because this is a safety-critical component, you should not assume a pre-facelift curtain airbag will interchange directly with a post-facelift car even within the same generation; always confirm module compatibility against your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Hyundai launched the all-new second-generation Kona for the 2024 model year, making it a completely different vehicle from the first-generation (2017–2023) car. A curtain airbag from a 2022 first-gen Kona will not be a straightforward match for a second-gen 2024 car, as the SRS systems are entirely different architectures. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct part for your generation.

For the Hyundai Kona, curtain airbags are matched primarily by generation and facelift status rather than trim level — the airbag itself does not change between trims such as SE, SE Connect, Premium, or Premium GT Line. That said, you should always confirm airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS system against your registration with the breaker, as this is a safety-critical part and subtle variant differences can exist.

No — the engine fitted to your Kona does not affect which curtain airbag you need, as this is an interior safety component matched by body structure and generation rather than drivetrain. Whether your car has the 1.0 T-GDi, 1.6 T-GDi, or any other engine variant, the curtain airbag fitment is determined by generation and facelift status. Focus on providing the breaker with your registration and the side you need (nearside or offside) rather than engine details.

Yes, curtain airbags are side-specific — the nearside (NS) unit fits the left side of the car and the offside (OS) fits the right, and they are not interchangeable with each other. When contacting a breaker, always specify clearly which side you need alongside your registration, so they can supply the correct part. As curtain airbags are single-use safety-critical items, professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.

Used curtain airbags are commonly sold by UK breakers and can be a cost-effective option, but because they are safety-critical components you must ensure the unit has never been deployed — a deployed airbag is a single-use item and cannot be reused. Always buy from a reputable breaker who can confirm the airbag has not fired and is in good condition, and have the part professionally installed by a qualified technician who can verify compatibility with your Kona's specific SRS system. Confirm module compatibility against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
