Used Hyundai Santa Fe Engine Mount

The second-generation Santa Fe (Mk2) ran from 2006 to 2012, so a 2007 and a 2010 are within the same generation, which is a good starting point. Fitment still depends heavily on matching the engine code — the 2.2 CRDi diesel and the 2.7 V6 petrol used different mounts, so you must confirm the engine codes match, not just the year. There were also mid-production changes within this generation that could affect mounting hardware, so confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

The Mk3 Santa Fe ran from 2012 to 2018 (facelift around 2015), and the Mk2 ran from 2006 to 2012 — these are distinct generations with different platform and engine configurations, so mounts from one will very unlikely fit the other. Engine codes also changed significantly between generations, which affects mount design and positioning. Treat these as non-interchangeable and confirm with a breaker against your exact registration and engine code.

The Mk3 Santa Fe was facelifted around 2015, so a 2016 car sits in the post-facelift period while earlier Mk3 cars from 2012 to 2015 are pre-facelift. The boundary between facelift and pre-facelift can bring ancillary and mounting changes even within the same generation, so whether the mount crosses that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations. Give the breaker your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — as that is the most reliable matching detail.

For the Santa Fe, trim levels like Classic, Premium, and Premium SE are primarily about interior and comfort equipment, not mechanical differences, so trim level does not affect engine mount fitment. What matters is the engine code, fuel type (diesel or petrol), and gearbox type (manual or automatic), as these determine the mount specification. You can safely ignore trim when searching, but always match on engine code first.

Yes, gearbox type can affect engine mount specification because the weight, torque characteristics, and positioning of the drivetrain differ between manual and automatic setups. Always tell the breaker which gearbox your car has alongside the engine code. Your engine code is on the V5 logbook or available through a VIN check, and supplying both details gives the breaker the best chance of finding the right mount.

Engine mounts are fitted to every variant of the Hyundai Santa Fe regardless of engine type, fuel type, or drivetrain — they are a fundamental part of how any internal combustion engine is secured to the vehicle's subframe or body. Both the diesel engines (such as the 2.2 CRDi) and the petrol engines (such as the 2.4 and 2.7) across all Santa Fe generations use engine mounts. The number, position, and design of the mounts does vary by engine code and generation, so always match on engine code when sourcing a used mount from a breaker.
