Hyundai Mighty Right Front Seat
Right Front Seat to suit the Hyundai Mighty, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai Mighty Right Front Seat?
In a South African Hyundai the right front seat is the driver’s, which is why it is almost always the one that has given up first — the outer bolster tears where you slide across it and the foam collapses under the one occupant the car always carries. Ordering a used one is less about the seat than about what is bolted underneath it: side-airbag and pre-tensioner wiring, and on some derivatives an occupant sensor. Match the trim level and the interior colour, and be aware that a cloth seat from a Motion or GL car will not simply drop into a leather Elite or Executive interior. If the airbag light has come on since the seat was last out, suspect the connector under the base before you suspect the module.
Signs You Need New Right Front Seat
Mighty generations and right front seat — the short version
The Mighty reached South Africa as the SA-market light-truck range including the EX8, and that alone changes what fits.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.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market Mighty:
Trim level drives almost everything inside a Hyundai — seat fabric, console mouldings and switchgear all differ between base and Elite or Executive derivatives of the same car.
Send us the trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct right front seat against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the Mighty is mostly distribution and delivery work where downtime is lost income, so demand is overwhelmingly for driveline, clutch and braking parts. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Mighty Right Front Seat — Questions We Get Asked
Will right front seat from another Mighty fit mine?
Not automatically. The Mighty sold in South Africa 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. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African Mighty come with?
SA-market cars ran the 2.5 turbo-diesel and 3.9 diesel as badged on the SA derivatives. The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
Why is my Hyundai airbag warning light on?
Nine times out of ten it's a corroded or loose connector under the front seat controlling the seatbelt pre-tensioner or side airbag. We clean and re-seat the yellow plug and if the fault persists we scan codes before replacing the clockspring or squib.
How much does a used Hyundai front seat cost?
Used Hyundai front seats vary widely by trim — cloth is cheaper, leather and heated trims cost more. Get a free quote through our form with your model, year and trim level and we'll match a seat with intact airbag squib and working runners.
Where is the airbag/seatbelt pre-tensioner connector under a Hyundai seat?
It's the bright yellow plug usually at the front right of the seat base, clipped to the floorpan. Always disconnect the battery and wait 10 minutes before unplugging it — accidentally firing a pre-tensioner on the bench is dangerous and expensive.
Can I swap a front seat between Hyundai models?
Only if the floor mounts and wiring match, which usually means same generation and body style. A i20 MK1 seat won't bolt into an Accent, for example. We check compatibility by VIN and trim code before shipping to avoid mismatch returns.
Do I need to reset the airbag ECU after replacing a Hyundai seat?
Yes — any airbag code logged by the swap needs clearing with a compatible scan tool. We recommend GDS (Hyundai's Global Diagnostic System) or a reputable OBD specialist. Driving with a stored airbag fault means your airbags and pre-tensioners may be disarmed in a crash.
