What Are Hyundai H1 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.

H1 Left Rear Seat: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
H1 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — the original Starex, then the TQ iLoad, iMax and Grand Starex all sold here.
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.
Worth knowing: the H1no Kia equivalent — the H1 is its own commercial platform.
What we check on left rear seat
- •The generation code, because H1 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this H1 was sold with 2.4 petrol on selected Grand Starex derivatives, D4CB 2.5 CRDi and 2.5 TD on the earlier Starex
- •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 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.
H1 Left Rear Seat: Common Questions
Will left rear seat 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.
Can you source left rear seat for the H1 if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The H1 no Kia equivalent — the H1 is its own commercial platform, 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.
