Hyundai Matrix Hood
We source hood for every Matrix generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Matrix Hood?
The bonnet is the steel or alloy panel covering your Hyundai engine bay, hinged at the windscreen edge with a safety catch at the front. We see Accent release cables stretch and snap, leaving the bonnet jammed shut and we see i20 bonnets dented by hail or rear-enders.
Signs You Need New Hood
Before you order hood for a Matrix
Matrix owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — FC all sold here.The tall MPV body is Matrix-specific but much of what is underneath it is Elantra XD, so mechanical parts and body parts come from two different sourcing pools.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market Matrix:
Facelifts within a single Hyundai generation changed bumpers, lamps and grilles without changing the model name, and the colour code on the door jamb matters as much as the part itself.
Send us the generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct hood against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the Matrix is mostly a compact people-carrier kept by families for the space, long after new-parts support tapered off. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Matrix Hood: Common Questions
Will hood from another Matrix fit mine?
Not automatically. The Matrix sold in South Africa as FC, and the tall MPV body is Matrix-specific but much of what is underneath it is Elantra XD, so mechanical parts and body parts come from two different sourcing pools. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Can you source hood for the Matrix if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Matrix built on the running gear of the Elantra XD, which widens the sourcing net considerably, 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.
How much does a Hyundai bonnet cost in South Africa?

Why won't my Hyundai bonnet open?
The release cable has either stretched, seized, or snapped at the latch end. On higher-mileage cars it is a common failure. Pulling harder just makes it worse. A correct fix involves accessing the latch from underneath through the grille.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai bonnet?
A used bonnet plus respray typically runs R2,800-R7,600 fitted for i20, Accent. A new aftermarket panel costs more. Colour-matched used panels from Pro Hyundai Spares save weeks of painting and sanding.
How do I fix a stuck Hyundai bonnet release cable?
Pop the grille, reach the latch with a long-reach screwdriver and trip the pawl manually. Replace the cable and latch together, because cables usually break because the latch pivot seized first and needs cleaning too.
Where can I buy a used Hyundai bonnet in South Africa?
Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network keep used bonnets for common Hyundai models. Send your VIN, colour and any dent photos for an accurate same-day quote.
