Used Hyundai Tucson Quarter Panel

The Tucson has run across distinct generations: the first generation (JM) ran from 2004 to 2009, the second generation (LM/ix35) from 2010 to 2015, and the third generation (TL) from 2015 to 2021, with a facelift in 2018. Quarter panels are generation-specific and will not cross between these groups, so a panel from any of those ranges will only suit its own generation. Always confirm the exact generation with your breaker against your registration plate.

Both sit on the same TL platform, but the 2018 facelift brought restyling that may have included pressing changes to the rear body panels, so a pre-facelift quarter panel may not align correctly on a post-facelift car. This is exactly the kind of mid-generation change you should confirm with the breaker using your registration, rather than assuming compatibility. Do not assume fitment simply because both cars are called the third-generation Tucson.

Trim level does not affect quarter panel fitment on the Tucson — the pressings are the same across SE, SE Nav, Premium, Premium SE, and N Line grades within the same generation. What can differ cosmetically is whether your car has a factory body kit, side sills, or trim-specific cladding that sits over the panel, so source those separate pieces to match your spec. The bare quarter panel itself is trim-neutral, so tell the breaker your generation and body style rather than your trim name.

No — engine type has no bearing on quarter panel fitment whatsoever. The bodyshell pressing is identical regardless of whether the donor car was a petrol, diesel, or hybrid. Focus your questions to the breaker on generation, model year, and whether it is pre- or post-facelift instead.

No: the 2013 ix35 is a second-generation Tucson (LM platform, 2010–2015), while your 2016 car is a third-generation TL, and these are entirely different bodyshells. Quarter panels are not interchangeable across generations, so you need a TL-generation panel from 2015 onwards. Make sure you also clarify with the breaker whether your 2016 car is pre-facelift, as the 2018 facelift is the relevant boundary for the TL.

Tell the breaker the generation (for example, TL 2015–2021), whether your car is pre- or post-2018 facelift, the model year from your registration, and whether you need the nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) panel. The Tucson is a five-door SUV throughout the TL generation, so body style is straightforward here, but confirming all the above details helps the breaker pull the right pressing and check it against your registration before you commit.
