What Are Hyundai Tucson Left Front Seat?
The left front seat on a Hyundai is the complete passenger seat base and backrest, including rails, recliner mech, foam, trim and sometimes heater and airbag modules. We see Creta N Line leather splitting at the bolsters and i20 N foam collapsing under 100,000km.
Signs You Need New Left Front Seat
What a parts desk needs to know about your Tucson
Ordering left front seat 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.

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 front seat 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.
Tucson Left Front Seat: Common Questions
Will left front seat 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.
Can you source left front seat for the Tucson if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Tucson runs in lockstep with the Kia Sportage — JM with KM, LM with SL, TL with QL, NX4 with NQ5, 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 much does a Hyundai front seat cost to replace?
Used front seats through SA strippers typically land at R1,500-R5,900 depending on model, trim and leather versus cloth. Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network hold stock. Send us photos of your current seat for an exact match.
Why does my Hyundai driver seat creak?
Usually it is the rail catch or the recliner cam worn on one side. Foam compression shifts load onto the frame, which creaks over bumps. A squirt of lithium grease on the rails often buys time before a trim shop strips it.
Is Hyundai seat wear covered under warranty?
General wear is not covered. Premature bolster collapse or leather splitting under the factory warranty period can sometimes be claimed, especially the documented Creta N Line 2-3 year split. Raise it with your Hyundai dealer with photos and mileage.
Can you buy a used Hyundai front seat in South Africa?
Yes. Pro Hyundai Spares keeps used seats for i20, Accent, Creta, Santa Fe and Sonata in cloth and leather. We match by VIN, trim colour and heater/airbag spec. Get a free quote with your current seat photos.
How long do Hyundai seat upholstery last?
Cloth seats typically last 150,000-200,000km without obvious wear. Leather on Accent and Creta N Line starts cracking at 80,000-120,000km in SA sun if untreated. Regular leather conditioner doubles that. Sheepskin covers save the factory trim entirely.
