Hyundai Elantra Right Rear Seat
Whether your Elantra is an early or late build, we match the right rear seat to your derivative rather than to the badge
What Are Hyundai Elantra Right Rear Seat?
The right rear seat is the right-hand portion of the back bench, typically the larger 60 section of a 60/40 split on Hyundai i20, Accent and Creta. It carries the ISOFIX anchor points, seatbelt buckles and fold-down mechanism. We see torn trim, broken fold latches and the 2018 Hyundai Accent ISOFIX weld recall still lingering.
Signs You Need New Right Rear Seat
Elantra generations and right rear seat — the short version
Does one right rear seat listing cover every Elantra?
No. The Elantra reached South Africa as J2 Avante, XD, HD, MD and AD, and that alone changes what fits.Early SA cars wear the Avante name and later ones the Elantra badge for what is effectively the same lineage — the generation code, not the badge, is what a parts desk works from.
Which engine is in my Elantra?
SA-market cars were sold with Alpha 1.6 (XD), Gamma 1.6 (HD), Nu 1.8 (MD) and Nu 2.0 (AD). The code stamped on the block settles it — the badge on the boot does not.
What do you need from me to quote right rear seat?
The trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth. Trim level drives almost everything inside a Hyundai — seat fabric, console mouldings and switchgear all differ between base and Elite or Executive derivatives of the same car.
In South Africa the Elantra is mostly a compact sedan bought by long-distance commuters, so highway mileage accumulates fast and driveline wear tends to run ahead of the visual condition. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order Elantra Right Rear Seat
Will right rear seat from another Elantra fit mine?
Not automatically. The Elantra sold in South Africa as J2 Avante, XD, HD, MD and AD, and early SA cars wear the Avante name and later ones the Elantra badge for what is effectively the same lineage — the generation code, not the badge, is what a parts desk works from. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
How do you check right rear seat actually fits a Elantra?
We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Elantra specifically, early SA cars wear the Avante name and later ones the Elantra badge for what is effectively the same lineage — the generation code, not the badge, is what a parts desk works from.
Where are the ISOFIX points on a Hyundai rear seat?
On most Hyundais they sit deep in the crease between the seat base and backrest, marked with a small 'ISOFIX' tag. On the i20 they're famously hard to find — push the cushion down firmly to expose the metal brackets rather than fishing blindly through the fabric.
Do Hyundai rear seats split 60/40?
Most modern Hyundais — i20, Accent, Tucson, Creta, Santa Fe — use a 60/40 split fold rear bench. The larger 60 section is usually on the right. Older models like the Getz have a single one-piece bench. Check your handbook for your specific generation and trim.
How much does a used Hyundai rear seat cost?
Used rear seat sections vary by trim, fabric and condition. Request a free quote through our form with your model, year and interior colour code — we'll match cloth, leather or eco-leather from an SA stripped donor car rather than guessing on trim.
Is there a recall on Hyundai Accent ISOFIX anchors?
Yes — a 2018 recall covered Hyundai Accent models where the ISOFIX anchor welds could fail. If your Accent is in that range, check with a Hyundai SA dealer using your VIN. Recall work is carried out free regardless of warranty status.
Can I fold the rear seat flat in a Hyundai i20?
Yes — pull the tag or lever at the top of the seatback and the 60/40 sections tilt forward onto the seat base. It won't go perfectly flat like a hatchback-specialist model, but it extends the boot enough for bikes, flat-pack furniture and longer items.
