Hyundai Matrix Left Rear Seat
We source left rear seat for every Matrix generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Matrix 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.

How we match left rear seat to your Matrix
On the Matrix, FC are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.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.
- 1
Find the generation code on your Matrix — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The Matrix ran Alpha 1.6 and Beta 1.8 in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the left rear seat you are after , along with the trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the Matrixbuilt on the running gear of the Elantra XD, which widens the sourcing net considerably — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
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 Left Rear Seat: Common Questions
Will left rear seat 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 left rear seat 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.
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.
