Hyundai Santa Fe Hood
We source hood for every Santa Fe generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Santa Fe 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
Santa Fe generations and hood — the short version
Does one hood listing cover every Santa Fe?
No. Sold here across SM, CM, DM and TM, the Santa Fe is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.Five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration.
Which engine is in my Santa Fe?
SA-market cars were sold with Delta 2.7 V6 (SM), 2.2 CRDi (CM) and R-line 2.2 CRDi (DM, TM). The code stamped on the block settles it — the badge on the boot does not.
What do you need from me to quote hood?
The generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code. 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.
In South Africa the Santa Fe is mostly the tow car of the range, so cooling, driveline and rear-suspension components carry loads the same parts never see on a lighter Hyundai. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Santa Fe Hood: Common Questions
Will hood from another Santa Fe fit mine?
Not automatically. The Santa Fe sold in South Africa as SM, CM, DM and TM, and five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration. 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 Santa Fe if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Santa Fe a platform relative of the Kia Sorento across several generations, 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 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.
