Engineered to match Hyundai Tucson TL fender contours, these mudguards align with the 3rd-generation compact crossover's wheel arch profiles for precise fitment across all 2015-2020 production years, including both pre-facelift (2015-2018) and facelift (2018-2020) variants.
Hyundai Tucson TL (3rd-Gen): 2015-2020, all trims (Gasoline, Diesel, Hybrid N)
Markets: Korea, Europe, North America, China (Beijing-Hyundai), India, Brazil, Czech Republic, Turkey, Vietnam, and 13+ additional countries
Platform: Hyundai-Kia C-segment SUV platform (shared architecture with Kia Sportage R/QL, but body panels are Tucson-specific)
Tucson TL debuted at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, restoring the "Tucson" nameplate globally after the 2nd-gen LM was marketed as "ix35" in Europe and China
Facelift in August 2018 updated the cascade grille, LED lighting signature, and Smartstream engine options; exterior body panels and fender contours remained unchanged
TL was succeeded by the NX4 (4th-Gen) in late 2020, moving to the new N3 platform with different body dimensions
The "Hyundai ix35" nameplate listed in the original fitment field refers to the 2nd-generation Tucson LM (2009-2015), which uses a different platform and fender design. Mud flaps engineered for Tucson TL are NOT interchangeable with ix35 (LM) units. For ix35 (LM) mud flaps, see the separate product listing.
Material: PP (Polypropylene) soft plastic, selected for high elasticity and resistance to bending under impact
Color: Black, thickened profile for enhanced rigidity and debris deflection
Set Contents: 4 pieces (2 front + 2 rear), covering all four wheel positions
Front wheel mudguards: 200 mm x 280 mm
Rear wheel mudguards: 215 mm x 295 mm
Profiled to match Tucson TL wheel arch curvature for contoured fit
High-quality PP raw materials sourced for consistent flexibility across temperature ranges
High elasticity and resistance to bending, maintaining shape after road impact
Manufactured according to original Tucson TL fender dimensions for direct-fit installation
Fastener-ready design with pre-positioned mounting holes aligned to OEM Tucson TL fender clips
These mudguards follow the Tucson TL's factory body lines, extending the fender edge downward to create a debris barrier that complements the crossover's ground clearance and wheel arch geometry. The thickened PP construction balances rigidity for highway-speed stone deflection with flexibility for low-speed parking contact.
Generation | Model Name | Years | Platform | Fitment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3rd-Gen | Hyundai Tucson TL (pre-facelift) | 2015-2018 | Hyundai-Kia C-SUV | Direct fit, all trims |
3rd-Gen | Hyundai Tucson TL (facelift) | 2018-2020 | Hyundai-Kia C-SUV | Direct fit, all trims |
Generation | Model Name | Years | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
1st-Gen | Hyundai Tucson JM | 2004-2010 | Different platform (Elantra-based), different fender design |
2nd-Gen | Hyundai Tucson LM / ix35 | 2009-2015 | Different platform, different fender contours; ix35 is a predecessor nameplate, NOT a rebadge of TL |
4th-Gen | Hyundai Tucson NX4 | 2021-present | New N3 platform, different body dimensions and fender design |
Related | Kia Sportage QL (4th-Gen) | 2016-2021 | Shared platform architecture but different body panels and fender shape; Tucson-specific fitment |
Tucson TL and Kia Sportage QL share underlying platform architecture (Hyundai-Kia C-segment SUV), but each model features unique body panels, fender contours, and wheel arch dimensions. Mud flaps are model-specific and do not cross-fit between Tucson and Sportage despite shared platform DNA.
Fastener-ready: Pre-positioned mounting holes align with OEM Tucson TL fender clip locations
No drilling required for standard installation; uses existing fender mounting points
Fastener clips included: Plastic fender fastener clips, U-clip screws, and Allen screws with Hex key
Clean the fender edge and wheel arch area to ensure proper clip seating
Position the front mudguards against the front fender, aligning pre-drilled holes with OEM mounting points
Insert plastic fender fastener clips through the mudguard holes into the fender mounting points
Secure with U-clip screws where additional fastening is needed
Repeat for the rear mudguards using the rear fender mounting points
Verify clearance between mudguard and tire at full steering lock; adjust if necessary
Front mudguards (200 x 280 mm) are shaped for the Tucson TL front fender profile
Rear mudguards (215 x 295 mm) are shaped for the Tucson TL rear quarter panel profile
Do not force-fit onto ix35 (LM) or NX4 bodies; fender contours differ and may cause gap or rubbing
Installation time: approximately 15-20 minutes per axle with basic hand tools
The Hijet and the Gran Max—one is the ultimate space-saving product under Japan's micro commercial vehicle regulations, and the other is a globalized model that broke free from those constraints to reach the pinnacle of practicality. Whether navigating narrow Tokyo alleys or driving across the vast Southeast Asian market, they demonstrate Daihatsu's "compact cars, big impact" philosophy through solid quality and continuous generational inheritance.
