Hyundai Creta Left Rear Seat
We source left rear seat for every Creta generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Creta Left Rear Seat?
The left rear seat on a Hyundai is the outboard rear bench section, its folding mechanism, latch, release strap and trim. On i20 and Accent hatches we see the release lever snap, or the latch rust after years of boot damp, leaving the seat stuck up.

Creta Left Rear Seat: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
The Creta reached South Africa as GS, then SU2, and that alone changes what fits.
The GS and SU2 share almost nothing visually or mechanically — check which one you have before ordering anything forward of the bulkhead.
Worth knowing: the Cretathe SU2 generation sits alongside the Kia Seltos.
What we check on left rear seat
- •The generation code, because Creta parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Creta was sold with Gamma 1.6 (GS), 1.5 (SU2), 1.4 T-GDi (SU2) and U-line 1.6 CRDi (GS)
- •The trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the Creta is mostly a newer nameplate whose first cars are only now reaching the independent aftermarket, so availability skews towards service and collision parts rather than driveline. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Creta Left Rear Seat: Common Questions
Will left rear seat from another Creta fit mine?
Not automatically. The Creta sold in South Africa as GS, then SU2, and the GS and SU2 share almost nothing visually or mechanically — check which one you have before ordering anything forward of the bulkhead. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Can you source left rear seat for the Creta if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Creta the SU2 generation sits alongside the Kia Seltos, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.
Why won't my Hyundai rear seat fold down?
The i20 release lever is notorious for snapping and Accent latch mechanisms rust up from boot damp. Either kills the fold function while the seat otherwise works fine. A latch rebuild kit or a used lever assembly restores it.
How much does a Hyundai rear seat cost to replace?
A used rear seat half section through SA strippers typically runs R1,050-R3,400. Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network hold stock for i20, Accent. Send photos of your current trim for a match.
How do you fix a stuck Hyundai rear seat latch?
Pull the seat-back cushion, expose the latch and clean old grease and rust off the pivot. Lubricate with PTFE spray and work the mechanism. If the pawl spring has snapped, fit a new latch module. Forcing it cracks the cable.
Can I buy a used Hyundai rear seat in South Africa?
Yes. Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network stock used i20, Accent, Creta and Santa Fe rear seats. Match by VIN, trim colour and whether yours is split-fold or single bench. Get a free quote with photos.
How do I release a Hyundai rear seat that won't unlock?
Reach behind the backrest and find the emergency boot-side release. On i20 and Accent it is a thin metal tab near the boot floor. Work it sideways while pushing the backrest forward. If the cable is snapped, the latch needs stripping.
