Used Hyundai Tucson Front Bumper

The third-generation Tucson (known internally as the NX4) ran from 2021 onwards in the UK, and received a facelift in 2024 that brought revised front-end styling including a new bumper and grille design. If your car is a pre-facelift 2021-2023 model, you need a bumper from the same pre-facelift period, as the 2024 facelift bumper is a different shape. Always confirm the exact interchange with your breaker by giving them your registration number.

Both a 2016 and a 2019 Tucson fall within the second-generation TL platform, which ran from 2015 to 2020 in the UK, so they share the same basic front-end architecture. However, this generation received a facelift around 2018 that changed the bumper, grille and light clusters, meaning a pre-facelift bumper from 2015-2018 and a post-facelift bumper from 2018-2020 are not the same part. Because your cars sit either side of that 2018 boundary, you should confirm with your breaker whether the specific bumper they have will interchange with your registration before buying.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental shape or mounting points of the front bumper — the same bumper shell fits S, SE, Premium and Premium SE within the same generation and facelift period. What can vary is the number and position of parking sensor holes, fog light apertures, and whether the bumper was pre-painted or finished in a specific colour, so check these cosmetic details with your breaker against your own car. Confirm the exact specification with your breaker using your registration to make sure any cut-outs match your car's equipment level.

No — the first-generation Tucson (JM platform, 2004 to 2010) and the second-generation Tucson (TL platform, 2015 to 2020) are completely different vehicles with no shared front-end panels. There was also a gap in UK sales between the two generations, during which the ix35 was sold instead, further confirming these are distinct platforms. Always source a bumper that matches your specific generation.

The second-generation Tucson facelift arrived around 2018, which means your 2017 car is pre-facelift and a 2019 car is post-facelift — these sit on opposite sides of a known styling boundary where the bumper, grille and lights were revised. The two bumpers are not the same shape, so a straight swap is unlikely to look correct even if the fixings are similar. Confirm the specific part details with your breaker against both registrations before agreeing to any purchase.

Engine type and drivetrain do not affect the front bumper on the Tucson — the same bumper shell is used across petrol, diesel and hybrid variants within a given generation and facelift period. The key things that matter are which generation your car belongs to and whether it is pre- or post-facelift, not what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on matching the generation and facelift year, and confirm any sensor or fog light cut-outs with your breaker.
