Hyundai Mighty Interior — Sourced by Generation

Yes, and it is the first thing we check. The Mighty sold here as the SA-market light-truck range including the EX8, and these are chassis-cab trucks bodied after sale, so the cab and driveline come from Hyundai while the load body usually does not — tell us which of the two the part belongs to. Give us the generation code and the rest follows quickly.

the 2.5 turbo-diesel and 3.9 diesel as badged on the SA derivatives. Interior fitment often follows the engine family rather than the model name, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.

Hyundai interior parts include the dashboard assembly, digital instrument cluster digital instrument cluster, centre console with touchscreen, front and rear seats with upholstery, door panels with trim and handles, headliner, carpeting, air vents and various storage compartments. Additional components include the steering wheel (often compact in digital instrument cluster models), glovebox, sun visors, grab handles, seat belt assemblies and interior lighting. Prices range from R500 for small trim clips to R15,000+ for complete seat assemblies depending on your Hyundai model.

A typical Hyundai contains between 8,000 to 12,000 individual parts throughout the entire vehicle, with several hundred components specifically dedicated to the interior cabin. This includes everything from major assemblies like seats and the dashboard down to small fasteners, clips and trim pieces. Models like the Creta and Santa Fe with advanced digital instrument cluster features and additional technology have more interior components than simpler models like the i10, though all require quality parts to maintain comfort and functionality on SA roads.

Common Hyundai interior panels include the instrument panel (dashboard), centre console panel, door trim panels (also called door cards), A-pillar and B-pillar trim covers, kick panels and rear parcel shelf panels. The headliner is the fabric-covered panel forming the roof interior, while sill plates protect door entry areas. In South African Hyundais, these panels often feature UV-resistant materials to withstand harsh sunlight, with replacement panels typically costing R800 to R4,500 depending on the specific component and model.

Hyundai interior parts are manufactured using various processes including injection molding for plastic dashboard and trim components, vacuum forming for door panels and specialized techniques for upholstery and soft-touch surfaces. Most panels consist of multiple layers: a rigid substrate (often glass-fiber reinforced plastic), foam padding for comfort and a decorative outer layer of fabric, vinyl, or textured plastic. Modern Hyundais increasingly use recycled and sustainable materials in interior production while maintaining durability for demanding SA conditions including heat, UV exposure and dust.

Hyundai interior part prices vary significantly based on the component and model: small trim clips and fasteners cost R50-R200, air vents R500-R1,200, door handles R600-R1,400, door panels R2,550-R5,800, steering wheels R3,300-R7,600 and complete seat assemblies R8,400-R17,650. Dashboard assemblies for models like the i20 or Tucson range from R12,500-R25,500 depending on specifications. Genuine Hyundai parts from authorized dealers cost more than aftermarket alternatives but ensure proper fitment and maintain warranty coverage, which is important for newer T-GDi and CRDi models.
