Used Hyundai Santa Fe Sun Visor

The Santa Fe has gone through distinct generations in the UK — the first generation (SM, 2001–2006), second generation (CM, 2006–2012), third generation (DM, 2012–2018, with a facelift around 2015), and fourth generation (TM, 2018 onwards) — and sun visors are interior trim parts that are generation-specific, so a visor from one generation will not clip into the mounting points of another. If your car sits close to a generation boundary, such as a 2012 or 2018 model, confirm the exact generation with your breaker using your registration, as early and late build dates can occasionally overlap. Never assume a part from an adjacent generation will fit without checking.

The third-generation Santa Fe (DM) ran from 2012 to 2018 and received a facelift around 2015, which can affect interior trim fitment including sun visors, as clips, finishes, and vanity mirror surrounds sometimes changed at a facelift. Both a 2014 and a 2016 car are within the DM generation, but because they sit either side of that 2015 facelift point, you should confirm with the breaker that the part number and trim finish match your specific build before buying. Checking against your registration is the safest approach.

Trim level can matter for Santa Fe sun visors because higher trims such as Premium and Premium SE tend to have illuminated vanity mirrors in the visor, while lower trims like Classic or SE may have a simpler unlit mirror or no mirror at all, meaning the visors are not identical across the range. The mounting and general fitment within the same generation are broadly the same, but you may end up with a visor that looks different or lacks a feature your original had if the trim levels do not match. Ask the breaker what trim the donor car was to make sure the vanity mirror spec aligns with yours.

Yes, sun visors are handed, so the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver's side) are not interchangeable as they are shaped and mounted differently for each side of the cabin. When contacting a breaker, always specify whether you need the NS or OS visor to avoid receiving the wrong one. This applies across all Santa Fe generations.

No — the engine and drivetrain have no bearing on sun visor fitment, so whether your Santa Fe is a diesel, petrol, 2WD, or 4WD, the visor is the same for a given generation and trim level. The key details to match are the generation, the trim level (for vanity mirror specification), and the side of the car. You can safely ignore engine codes when searching for this part.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the generation and trim level of your car, and tell them which side you need (NS or OS) along with whether your original visor has an illuminated vanity mirror. It is also worth checking the fabric or vinyl colour and finish, as these can vary between trims and even between model years within the same generation. A good breaker will cross-reference the donor vehicle's spec against yours before supplying the part.
