Hyundai H1 Center Console
Center Console to suit the Hyundai H1, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai H1 Center Console?
The centre console houses the gear lever, handbrake, cupholders and armrest on your Hyundai — Getz, i20, Accent, Sonata and Creta all use a plastic-moulded assembly. The armrest clip on the lid is a well-known weak point, and it is the same moulding across several cars in the range, so a lid from a donor Accent or i30 of the right trim colour will usually solve it.
Signs You Need New Center Console
Before you order center console for a H1
Sold here across the original Starex, then the TQ iLoad, iMax and Grand Starex, the H1 is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.Panel van, bus and people-mover bodies on the same TQ base take different rear-end, glass and trim parts, so tell us the body style, not just the model.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market H1:
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.
Send us the trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct center console against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the H1 is mostly shuttle, tour and staff-transport work, which means very high annual mileage and a strong bias towards diesel injection, turbo and clutch components. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai H1 Center Console — Questions We Get Asked
Will center console from another H1 fit mine?
Not automatically. The H1 sold in South Africa as the original Starex, then the TQ iLoad, iMax and Grand Starex, and panel van, bus and people-mover bodies on the same TQ base take different rear-end, glass and trim parts, so tell us the body style, not just the model. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African H1 come with?
SA-market cars ran 2.4 petrol on selected Grand Starex derivatives, D4CB 2.5 CRDi, 2.5 TD on the earlier Starex. The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
How much does a Hyundai centre console cost?
Costs vary — a used Getz or i20 console from a strip yard is budget, while a full new Creta armrest assembly is significantly more. SA retail is limited for the specific part; we VIN-match and source through our supplier network and approved strippers. Send us your VIN for a quote.
Why does the armrest clip break on Hyundai centre consoles?
The plastic catch is undersized for the spring tension — a long-running owner complaint across the Sonata, i30 and Accent. Repeated opening flexes the clip until it snaps. Replacement armrest lids or aftermarket metal catches both solve it.
Can a Hyundai armrest be repaired without replacing the whole console?
Yes — in most cases. The armrest lid on Accent, Sonata and Creta is a separate moulded unit with its own hinge. You can swap just the lid, or even 3D-print the broken catch. The main console below rarely needs replacing.
Where can I buy a replacement Hyundai centre console armrest in South Africa?
We source armrest lids and full consoles nationally through our supplier network and SA strip yards. Accent, Sonata and Creta armrest lids are the most-requested items. Send your VIN, year and a photo of the damage for a same-day quote.
How much does a Hyundai centre console cost in South Africa?
It depends on model, condition (used vs new) and whether you need just the armrest lid or the complete assembly. SA-specific retail pricing for this part is thin, so we quote per-VIN through our supplier network. Ask for a free quote with your chassis number.
