Hyundai i30 Left Front Seat
Left Front Seat for the Hyundai i30 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i30 you are running
What Are Hyundai i30 Left Front Seat?
The left front seat on a Hyundai is the complete passenger seat base and backrest, including rails, recliner mech, foam, trim and sometimes heater and airbag modules. We see Creta N Line leather splitting at the bolsters and i20 N foam collapsing under 100,000km.

i30 Left Front Seat: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
On the i30, FD, GD and PD are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.
N Line and standard derivatives differ in brakes, suspension and bumper mouldings — the badge on the boot changes the parts list, not just the trim.
Worth knowing: the i30developed alongside the Kia Cee’d, with which it shares a great deal.
What we check on left front seat
- •The generation code, because i30 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this i30 was sold with Beta II 2.0 (FD), Nu 1.8 (GD), 1.4 T-GDi (PD N Line) and U-line 1.6 CRDi on selected derivatives
- •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 i30 is mostly bought by drivers who wanted a more solid-feeling hatch, and now aging into the independent aftermarket where the Kia cross-reference becomes genuinely useful. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i30 Left Front Seat FAQs
Will left front seat from another i30 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i30 sold in South Africa as FD, GD and PD, and N Line and standard derivatives differ in brakes, suspension and bumper mouldings — the badge on the boot changes the parts list, not just the trim. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about i30 left front seat?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The i30 ran as FD, GD and PD, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai front seat cost to replace?
Used front seats through SA strippers typically land at R1,500-R5,900 depending on model, trim and leather versus cloth. Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network hold stock. Send us photos of your current seat for an exact match.
Why does my Hyundai driver seat creak?
Usually it is the rail catch or the recliner cam worn on one side. Foam compression shifts load onto the frame, which creaks over bumps. A squirt of lithium grease on the rails often buys time before a trim shop strips it.
Is Hyundai seat wear covered under warranty?
General wear is not covered. Premature bolster collapse or leather splitting under the factory warranty period can sometimes be claimed, especially the documented Creta N Line 2-3 year split. Raise it with your Hyundai dealer with photos and mileage.
Can you buy a used Hyundai front seat in South Africa?
Yes. Pro Hyundai Spares keeps used seats for i20, Accent, Creta, Santa Fe and Sonata in cloth and leather. We match by VIN, trim colour and heater/airbag spec. Get a free quote with your current seat photos.
How long do Hyundai seat upholstery last?
Cloth seats typically last 150,000-200,000km without obvious wear. Leather on Accent and Creta N Line starts cracking at 80,000-120,000km in SA sun if untreated. Regular leather conditioner doubles that. Sheepskin covers save the factory trim entirely.
