Second Hand Hyundai Tucson Door

The Tucson has gone through distinct generations: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2004 to 2009, the second generation (Mk2, also sold as the ix35) ran from 2010 to 2015, and the third generation (Mk3) ran from 2015 to 2020, with a facelift around 2018. Doors are not interchangeable across these generation boundaries — the body structures differ — so a Mk2 door will not fit a Mk3, for example. If your vehicle sits near a boundary year such as 2015, confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Both a 2016 and a 2019 Tucson fall within the third generation (Mk3, 2015–2020), but the 2018 facelift introduced exterior styling changes that may affect door panel compatibility. You should confirm with the breaker whether the pre-facelift and post-facelift doors are interchangeable on your specific vehicle, as this is a boundary where fitment cannot be guaranteed without checking.

Trim level — whether S, SE, Premium, or Premium SE — does not affect the fundamental fitment of the door shell or frame, so a door from any trim will physically fit any other Mk3 Tucson of the same generation and side. However, cosmetic and feature differences exist between trims, such as whether a door has a chrome surround or specific interior panel finish, so the door you receive may need refinishing or panel swaps to match your car. Colour can always be resprayed, and fitment is determined by the frame, not the paint.

Yes, this is critical — doors are side-specific and are not interchangeable between left and right. In UK terms, the nearside (NS) is the passenger side (left when sitting in the car), and the offside (OS) is the driver's side (right). Always specify NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote from a breaker to avoid receiving the wrong part.

The Tucson was sold as a 5-door SUV throughout its production, so this is the standard body style you will encounter when sourcing doors from breakers. Front and rear doors are not interchangeable with each other, so make sure you specify whether you need a front or rear door, as well as the correct side (NS or OS), when getting a quote.

The door shell and frame determine fitment, and these are consistent within a generation regardless of window or mirror specification. However, whether a specific door includes features such as electric or heated mirrors, folding mirrors, or an indicator in the mirror housing can vary, and you should confirm these details with the breaker against your registration number to make sure the door's features match your vehicle's wiring and trim level.
