What Are Hyundai Tucson Left Rear Quarter Panel?

What a parts desk needs to know about your Tucson
Sold here across JM, LM, TL and NX4, the Tucson is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.The LM Tucson and the ix35 are the same vehicle sold under two names in different markets, so ix35 stock is a legitimate source for LM-generation parts and vice versa.
- 1
Find the generation code on your Tucson — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The Tucson ran Beta II 2.0 (JM), Theta II 2.0 (LM), Gamma 1.6 T-GDi (TL), Nu 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi (TL) in this market.

Send both to us with the left rear quarter panel you are after , along with the generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the Tucsonruns in lockstep with the Kia Sportage — JM with KM, LM with SL, TL with QL, NX4 with NQ5 — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the Tucson is mostly the family SUV that does school runs during the week and gravel-road holiday mileage over December, a duty cycle that is hard on suspension and cooling components. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Tucson Left Rear Quarter Panel — Questions We Get Asked
Will left rear quarter panel from another Tucson fit mine?
Not automatically. The Tucson sold in South Africa as JM, LM, TL and NX4, and the LM Tucson and the ix35 are the same vehicle sold under two names in different markets, so ix35 stock is a legitimate source for LM-generation parts and vice versa. 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 Tucson come with?
SA-market cars ran Beta II 2.0 (JM), Theta II 2.0 (LM), Gamma 1.6 T-GDi (TL), Nu 2.0, R-line 2.0 CRDi (TL). The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai rear quarter panel?
Rear quarter work is panel-beating, not a bolt-on swap. Budget R8,400-R26,500 through an SA panel shop, plus paint. Cut-and-weld half panels are cheaper for localised rust than full section replacement. Get a free quote with photos.
Can a rusted Hyundai rear quarter panel be repaired?
Surface rust sands out, seal-coats and sprays without drama. Perforated rust behind the trim needs the affected metal cut out and new steel welded in. A proper panel shop returns it as-new, but skilled labour is the main cost.
Where can I buy a used Hyundai rear quarter panel in SA?
Full quarter panels are rare through SA strippers because they are welded, not bolted. Pro Hyundai Spares can source cut sections from Getz, Accent donor shells on request. Get a free quote with photos of the damage.
What causes hidden rust on Hyundai quarter panels?
On i30 and older Accent hatches, missing or torn wheel-arch liners let road spray pool between the outer skin and inner arch. Salt air on the coast accelerates it. The first paint bubble outside usually means serious rust already.
How long does a quarter panel replacement take?
A proper cut-and-weld repair with paint typically takes 5-10 working days at an SA panel shop. Rushed jobs come back as cracked filler within a year. Always use an RMI-accredited beater for structural work.
