Hyundai Sonata Hood
Hood to suit the Hyundai Sonata, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide. Find quality Hyundai Sonata scrap yard at our facility.
What Are Hyundai Sonata 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
What a parts desk needs to know about your Sonata
What changes across the range
The Sonata reached South Africa as Y3, EF, NF and YF, and that alone changes what fits.
The SA Sonata parc is small, so cross-referencing against the equivalent Kia is often the difference between finding a part and waiting for one.
Worth knowing: the Sonatathe NF and YF sit on shared architecture with the Kia Magentis and Optima of the same period.
What we check on hood
- •The generation code, because Sonata parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Sonata was sold with 2.0 petrol (Y3, EF) and Theta II 2.4 (NF, YF)
- •The generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the Sonata is mostly a comfortable executive sedan bought new by a narrow group and now maintained mostly through specialists rather than dealer counters. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Sonata Hood — Questions We Get Asked
Will hood from another Sonata fit mine?
Not automatically. The Sonata sold in South Africa as Y3, EF, NF and YF, and the SA Sonata parc is small, so cross-referencing against the equivalent Kia is often the difference between finding a part and waiting for one. 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 Sonata come with?
SA-market cars ran 2.0 petrol (Y3, EF), Theta II 2.4 (NF, YF). The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.

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.
