Second Hand Hyundai Kona Towbar

Factory-fitted and aftermarket towbars are available for the Hyundai Kona, so this is a genuine part for this model. However, towing capacity varies by variant — some earlier or lower-powered versions were not officially rated for towing by Hyundai UK — so check your registration against Hyundai's towing data before purchasing. A used towbar from a breaker is perfectly viable if it comes from a like-for-like vehicle.

Almost certainly not — the first-generation Kona and the second-generation Kona (launched in the UK from 2023) are completely different platforms with a redesigned rear end, so the mounting points, bumper cut-outs, and wiring provisions will differ. You need to source a towbar from the same generation as your car. Confirm the exact year and generation of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The first-generation Kona ran from 2017 to 2023, and within that generation towbars are broadly likely to be compatible, but there were mid-life styling and bumper updates that could affect fitment at the rear. Rather than assuming any first-gen car is an exact match, confirm the specific donor year with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not fundamentally affect towbar fitment on the Kona — the underlying body structure and mounting points are the same across SE, Premium, Ultimate, and N Line grades. That said, N Line models have a sportier rear bumper styling, so a towbar removed from an N Line may look slightly different or require different bumper cut-outs compared with one from a standard trim; confirm this cosmetic detail with the breaker if appearance matters to you.

Engine choice — petrol or hybrid — does not typically change the rear bodyshell or towbar mounting points. However, the Kona Electric (the fully battery-electric version) was not officially rated for towing by Hyundai in the UK for much of its production run, and the rear structure and bumper on that variant may differ from the combustion-engine car, so a towbar from a petrol Kona should not be assumed to swap across to an Electric Kona without checking. Confirm with the breaker using both vehicles' registrations before proceeding.

Give the breaker your exact registration so they can verify the generation, model year, and body variant — the rear structure, bumper provisions, and wiring looms differ enough between generations that getting this wrong means the part will not fit. Ask whether the towbar comes with the wiring harness and any bumper cut-out trim pieces, as these are often removed separately at the dismantler. Also check whether the original vehicle was genuinely tow-rated, as not all Kona variants were approved for towing by Hyundai UK.
