The Hyundai Tucson uses gas-charged bonnet struts (sometimes called bonnet lifters or gas struts) to hold the bonnet open - there is no separate prop rod on this model. You will find one strut on each side of the engine bay, so most buyers need a pair unless only one has failed.
The third-generation Tucson (TL platform) ran from 2015 to 2020 in the UK, with a facelift arriving around 2018 that brought changes to the front-end styling. Both a 2016 and a 2019 Tucson sit within that same generation, but the 2019 falls in the post-facelift period - confirm with the breaker against your exact registration whether the strut mounting points changed across that 2018 facelift boundary before buying.
Both of those years belong to the fourth-generation Tucson (NX4 platform), which launched in the UK in late 2020. Within that generation, bonnet struts are very likely to be interchangeable, but confirm with the breaker against your registration as minor running changes can occur during a production run.
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the Tucson - the bonnet and its hardware are shared across SE, SE Connect, Premium, and Ultimate grades within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as insulation pad fixings, but the strut itself should be the same part; always confirm the generation and facelift period match your vehicle.
No - the second-generation Tucson (sold in the UK roughly 2004 to 2015, covering the JM and LM series) and the third-generation TL (2015-2020) are entirely different platforms with different bonnets, so the struts are not interchangeable between those generations. Always match the part to the correct generation by confirming your registration with the breaker.
Breakers will usually sell struts individually, so you can buy just one if only one has failed. However, because gas struts weaken gradually over time, many mechanics recommend replacing both sides together so the bonnet lifts evenly - if one has failed, the other is likely not far behind.
