Hyundai Tucson Center Console
Center Console for the Hyundai Tucson — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which Tucson you are running
What Are Hyundai Tucson Center Console?
The centre console houses the gear lever, handbrake, cupholders and armrest on your Hyundai — Getz, i20, Accent, Sonata and Creta all use a plastic-moulded assembly. The armrest clip on the lid is a well-known weak point, and it is the same moulding across several cars in the range, so a lid from a donor Accent or i30 of the right trim colour will usually solve it.
Signs You Need New Center Console
How we match center console to your Tucson
Ordering center console for a Tucson starts with the generation: JM, LM, TL and NX4.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 center console you are after , along with the trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth. 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 Center Console FAQs
Will center console 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.
What should I send you when asking about Tucson center console?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The Tucson ran as JM, LM, TL and NX4, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai centre console cost?
Costs vary — a used Getz or i20 console from a strip yard is budget, while a full new Creta armrest assembly is significantly more. SA retail is limited for the specific part; we VIN-match and source through our supplier network and approved strippers. Send us your VIN for a quote.
Why does the armrest clip break on Hyundai centre consoles?
The plastic catch is undersized for the spring tension — a long-running owner complaint across the Sonata, i30 and Accent. Repeated opening flexes the clip until it snaps. Replacement armrest lids or aftermarket metal catches both solve it.
Can a Hyundai armrest be repaired without replacing the whole console?
Yes — in most cases. The armrest lid on Accent, Sonata and Creta is a separate moulded unit with its own hinge. You can swap just the lid, or even 3D-print the broken catch. The main console below rarely needs replacing.
Where can I buy a replacement Hyundai centre console armrest in South Africa?
We source armrest lids and full consoles nationally through our supplier network and SA strip yards. Accent, Sonata and Creta armrest lids are the most-requested items. Send your VIN, year and a photo of the damage for a same-day quote.
How much does a Hyundai centre console cost in South Africa?
