Our guide covers 9 model years for the Hyundai Elantra (2015–2025) but only 5 for the Hyundai Kona (2019–2025), so the Hyundai Elantra data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Hyundai Elantra tailgate is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 8 for the Hyundai Kona — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used tailgate
- Verify feature provisions such as backup camera mount cutouts, keyless entry release solenoids, power liftgate struts, and integrated step ladders.
- Inspect bottom hem seams and lower drain holes for rust perforation, rot, or previous dent repair filler.
- Check hinge pin bushings, latch alignment hooks, and support cable attachment points for metal fatigue or bend damage.
- Match bodyline contours, spoiler mounting cutouts, and emblem indentations between base and sport trim models.
