Second Hand Hyundai Santa Fe Rear Bumper

The Santa Fe has run through distinct generations in the UK: the first generation (SM) ran from around 2001 to 2006, the second generation (CM) from 2006 to 2012, the third generation (DM) from 2012 to 2018 with a facelift around 2015, and the fourth generation (TM) from 2018 onwards. Rear bumpers are generation-specific and will not swap between these ranges, so always match to the correct generation. If you are unsure which generation your vehicle is, confirm with the breaker using your registration.

Both 2013 and 2014 Santa Fes fall within the third-generation DM range, but 2015 brought a facelift that involved styling changes to the rear end. A 2014 bumper and a 2013 bumper are both pre-facelift DM, so fitment is likely, but whether pressing or mounting changes exist between those specific years is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The third-generation DM Santa Fe was facelifted around 2015, and the rear bumper design changed at that point, meaning pre-facelift (2012–2014) and post-facelift (2015–2018) bumpers are generally not directly interchangeable. You should treat these as separate fitment groups and source accordingly. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker to be sure.

Trim level — whether that is Classic, Premium, Premium SE, or any other grade — does not affect which rear bumper shell fits your Santa Fe, as the body pressing is the same across trims within a generation. Where trims do differ is in cosmetic details such as painted finishes, integrated parking sensor holes, or chrome detailing, so a bumper from a lower-spec car may need sensor holes added or will lack chrome inserts your car has. The breaker can advise on which specific cosmetic spec the part came from.

The Santa Fe has been sold in both five-seat and seven-seat configurations within the same generation, and in most cases these share the same rear bumper shell as the body style itself does not change between seating layouts. However, parking sensor cutouts and tow-bar provisions can vary depending on how the car was originally specified, so check those details with the breaker against your registration to avoid surprises.

The Santa Fe has been sold under different names or in slightly different specifications in various markets, and whether the rear bumper from an overseas or differently-badged variant matches a UK-registered car exactly is not something that can be confirmed with certainty here. The generation and platform are the starting point, but differences in pressing or lamp cutouts between market variants are possible. Route this question to the breaker and have them check the part against your specific registration before purchasing.
