Used Hyundai Tucson Rear Bumper

The Tucson runs across three well-established generations: the first gen (JM) ran from 2004 to 2010, the second gen (LM/IX35 platform) from 2010 to 2015, and the third gen (TL) from 2015 to 2021, with a facelift in 2018. Rear bumpers are not interchangeable across these generation boundaries, so a bumper from a 2014 car will not fit a 2015 onwards model. Within the same generation, fitment is much more likely, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The third-gen Tucson (TL) received a facelift in 2018, and the rear bumper design changed at that point, so a bumper from a 2016 car and one from a 2019 car are not the same pressing. Both years sit within the same TL generation, but crossing that 2018 facelift boundary is a known fitment risk. Give the breaker both registration numbers and ask them to confirm the part numbers match before you commit.

Trim level does not affect which rear bumper fits a Tucson — the same bumper shell is used across S, SE, SR, Premium, and Premium SE grades within a given generation and facelift period. What can vary is the finishing detail: lower trims may not have the sensor holes or chrome strip that higher trims carry, so a bumper from an S-spec car may need modification if your original had parking sensors or a diffuser trim. The breaker can usually advise on this when you quote your registration, but the core panel itself will line up.

The second-gen Tucson (LM, 2010–2015) and the Hyundai ix35 share the same platform and were sold alongside each other in some markets, so there is overlap in their body structures. Whether the rear bumper pressing is fully interchangeable between the two nameplates is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as there can be regional or variant-specific differences that are not straightforward to state as fact. Do not assume they swap directly without that check.

The quickest way is to use your registration on the DVLA or a free vehicle data checker, which will give you the exact model year, and then match it to the generation ranges: first gen JM 2004–2010, second gen LM 2010–2015, or third gen TL 2015–2021 with the 2018 facelift splitting that last group. A bumper from the wrong generation will not fit, so getting the generation right before you contact a breaker saves time and avoids costly returns. If you are unsure, share your reg with the breaker directly and they can cross-reference it against their stock.
