Used side skirts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The CX-5 ran in two main generations: the first generation (KE) from 2012 to 2017, and the second generation (KF) from 2017 onwards, with a facelift to the KF arriving around 2021. Side skirts are generation-specific, so a KE skirt will not fit a KF and vice versa. Within each generation, confirm with the breaker whether the exact year of the donor car matches yours, particularly if your car sits near the 2017 changeover or the 2021 facelift boundary.
This question sits right across the first-to-second generation boundary: the 2015 car is a KE (first gen) and some 2017 cars are KF (second gen), making a straight swap very unlikely. However, first-gen KE production did continue into early 2017 in the UK, so your 2017 car could potentially be either generation. Check your registration with a breaker, who can confirm which generation your car is and whether a 2015 donor part is compatible.
The KF generation received a facelift around 2021, and while the overall body structure remained similar, panel and trim details can change at a facelift. Whether the side skirt itself is interchangeable across that 2021 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Name both the donor car's year and your own registration when requesting a quote to let the breaker cross-reference accurately.
Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of a CX-5 side skirt, as the underlying bodywork is the same across SE, SE-L, Sport, and GT Sport grades within a generation. That said, some higher trims may have had body styling packs that include skirts with a slightly different finish or additional moulding detail, so the cosmetic appearance may differ even if the mounting points are the same. Confirm with the breaker whether the donor skirt matches your trim's style if appearance matters to you.
No – engine type (petrol or diesel) and drivetrain layout (FWD or AWD) have no bearing on side skirt fitment, as the body structure is identical across these variants. The key details to give a breaker are the generation (KE or KF) and the year of your car, not what is under the bonnet. This means you have a wider pool of donor cars to source from, which is useful when searching on a marketplace like Findapart.
Give the breaker your car's full registration number, which lets them confirm the exact generation and build date rather than relying on model year alone – this is especially important if your car was registered in 2017, near the KE-to-KF changeover. Ask the breaker to confirm the donor vehicle's registration or VIN so both cars can be verified against the same generation and facelift period. Never rely on year alone, as production overlaps mean two cars registered in the same year can be different generations.
