A used alternator that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The third-generation Tucson (Mk3) ran from 2015 to 2021, with a facelift in 2018, so a 2016 and a 2019 are both within that same generation but sit either side of that facelift boundary — and ancillary fitments can change across a facelift. The engine code is the most important thing to match here: if both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) there is a reasonable chance the alternator is compatible, but confirm the specific part number with the breaker against both registrations before buying.
No — petrol and diesel engines are fundamentally different units with different electrical demands and mounting arrangements, so their alternators are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker your fuel type as well as your engine code to make sure you're quoted the correct unit.
Trim level does not affect alternator fitment on the Tucson — the SE, Premium, and Premium SE are the same mechanical platform and the alternator is determined by the engine code and model year, not the badge on the tailgate. Bear in mind that breakers stripping different trim levels may quote parts from cars with different engine variants, so always verify the engine code matches yours regardless of trim.
The ix35 (which covers roughly 2010 to 2015 in the UK) is a separate generation from the Tucson Mk3 that launched in 2015, and the two are not the same vehicle for parts purposes. Confirm your engine code with the breaker, who can match it to the correct alternator for your ix35 rather than a newer Tucson unit.
Whether a used alternator requires any ECU pairing or immobiliser coding on a specific Tucson depends on the exact vehicle and its electrical architecture, and this is not something we can state as a blanket fact. Confirm with the breaker and, if needed, your fitting garage before purchase so there are no surprises on the day.
Gearbox type can affect the ancillary layout and electrical load demands in some applications, so it is worth flagging to the breaker whether your car is manual or automatic alongside the engine code. In many cases the alternator itself may be the same unit, but let the breaker cross-reference both registrations to confirm rather than assuming fitment.
