Hyundai Kona Seat Replacement Parts

The first-generation Hyundai Kona ran from 2017 to 2023, with a facelift introduced in 2021, and the second generation arrived for 2023. Seats from pre-facelift cars (2017–2020) should be checked carefully against facelift models (2021–2023), as trim and fixings can differ across that boundary — confirm with the breaker whether the specific seat you're looking at crosses that 2021 facelift line before buying. Within the same pre- or post-facelift period, seats from the same trim level are the most reliable match.

The 2019 Kona is a pre-facelift first-generation car, while the 2022 sits in the post-facelift first-generation range (facelift from 2021), so there is a styling and specification boundary between them. Seats may differ in shape, fixing points, or trim detail across that 2021 facelift, so this is not a straightforward swap — ask the breaker to confirm compatibility against your registration before proceeding. Never assume fitment across a facelift boundary without checking.

Trim level does matter for Kona seats, as higher trims such as Premium and Premium SE can feature heated seats, different upholstery, and altered side bolstering compared to entry trims like SE or SE Connect. The seat mounting points within the same generation are generally consistent, but the seat style, material, and any built-in functions will vary, so a seat from a lower trim will physically fit but look and feel noticeably different. Confirm the trim of the donor car with the breaker so you know exactly what you're getting.

Yes, the side matters: driver's (OS, offside) and passenger's (NS, nearside) front seats are handed and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS when contacting a breaker, and double-check this matches your requirement. Rear seats are more often symmetrical but can still be sided, so confirm with the breaker for your specific car.

If the seat contains a side airbag or a pretensioner seat belt, these are safety-critical components — airbags and pretensioners are single-use and must be replaced if previously deployed, so always ask the breaker whether the seat has been in a collision. Professional fitting is strongly recommended for any seat containing an airbag or active pretensioner, as incorrect installation can affect the SRS system. You should also confirm airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS system with the breaker against your registration, as this is not something that can be assumed.

Engine type, including petrol, diesel, or electric, does not affect seat fitment — the seats themselves are matched by generation, trim level, and side rather than by what is under the bonnet. The more important checks are that the donor seat is from the same generation (and ideally the same side of the 2021 facelift) and the same or comparable trim level. Confirm all details with the breaker against your registration to make sure you're getting the right seat.
