The Hyundai Sonata was always one of those mid-size sedans that deserved a hell of a lot more attention than it gets in Australia. A very well engineered, good-looking and very well-equipped car that invariably delivers a level of refinement, comfort and feature content well above its price point with the 2016 LF series model arguably the most refined and good looking Sonata Hyundai has ever built for the Australian market. The frustration comes when something has to be replaced and the local Hyundai dealer is quoting parts prices that seem wildly out of proportion to the age and market value of the car. Whether it is a grey body panel that has bumped into a barrier in a car park, a Theta II GDI turbocharger component that is playing up, a full LED headlight assembly that has been damaged in traffic, or an electrical module throwing up constant fault codes there is a much smarter and more cost effective way to get your Sonata sorted in Perth.

2016 Hyundai Sonata – The Sophisticated Mid-Size Sedan That Took Everyone By Surprise
The auto world really sat up and took notice when Hyundai introduced the LF series Sonata in 2014. After years of churning out competent but visually conservative sedans, Hyundai has arrived with something truly different – a mid-size sedan that looks expensive, feels premium and goes toe-to-toe with established European and Japanese rivals in every important aspect of the ownership experience. The 2016 model represents the Sonata at the zenith of its evolution in the LF generation, having shed the initial production kinks and delivering the consistent, refined ownership experience that Sonata buyers deserved.
The LF Sonata’s exterior design was simply stunning for a mass-market Korean sedan – the flowing fluidic sculpture design language gave it a swept, aerodynamic elegance that looked more like a European executive car than a Korean family sedan. The long bonnet, the gently falling roofline, the perfectly resolved body surfaces, the profile was genuinely beautiful from every angle and particularly in grey the Sonata had a sophisticated understated premium quality that made it stand out in Perth traffic in exactly the right way.
The 2016 Sonata was offered with a nice selection of engines that catered to different types of buyers. The 2.0-litre Nu MPI naturally aspirated petrol engine provided smooth, reliable and efficient everyday performance that appealed to the majority of Sonata buyers who put relaxed daily driving and low running costs above everything else. The more exciting 2.0-litre Theta II GDI turbocharged petrol engine fitted to the Turbo variant, which produced an impressive 180kW, transforming the Sonata into a genuinely quick and exciting mid-size sedan – a car that could genuinely embarrass many sports-oriented rivals in a straight line, while still offering the space, comfort and practicality of a family-focused four-door.
Both engines were paired to either a six-speed manual or smooth six-speed automatic gearbox, and the Sonata was front-wheel drive across the board. Trim levels ranged from the well-specified Active, through Elite and the popular Premium to the performance-focused Turbo, each step adding more technology, comfort and equipment to an already very well-appointed base specification.
Even the Active spec came with a load of equipment that genuinely surprised buyers used to Japanese and European rivals at similar price points. The Premium and Turbo specs were especially impressive – full LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, premium leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, blind spot detection, lane keep assist and a suite of active safety tech all came standard, making the top-specification Sonata one of the most comprehensively equipped mid-size sedans on offer in Australia at its price point.
The Vehicle We Are Wrecking Now
The car we’re processing today at our Perth facility is a 2016 Hyundai Sonata in Grey. Grey is a colour that’s always suited the LF Sonata’s flowing, elegant body lines particularly well. The 2016 Sonata came in a range of grey paint options, including the sophisticated Platinum Silver (N4S), the cool and professional Iron Grey (YG7), the lighter and more versatile Shimmering Silver (N5S), and the deeper Graphite Grey (KLG), offering a variety of depth, tone, and metallic character to suit different tastes.
Platinum Silver in particular is a finish with real warmth and depth that plays beautifully with the light on the Sonata’s flowing body surfaces. It’s a paint code that confers a genuinely premium look on the LF Sonata that does full justice to its sophisticated exterior design. If you have a Sonata and need a grey body panel to match the colour then the only practical and cost-effective solution in Perth at the moment is to source a factory-finish part from our current wreck.
This vehicle arrived at our Perth facility in very good overall condition – one of the better Korean sedan wrecks that we have processed in recent months. Truly exceptional usable condition of exterior body panels, Theta II GDI engine components, full LED headlight assemblies, premium interior trim and electronic modules. Every vehicle gets the same professional, methodical and thorough treatment at WA Auto Parts. The parts are carefully taken out, looked at one by one and catalogued properly before being put on the market. We are completely open about what we have and the condition it is in. Call our team on (08) 9358 1392 and we will give you an honest and full picture of just what is available.
Wrecker Hyundai Sonata 2016 Grey Available Parts
The Hyundai Sonata LF series is a well-engineered, feature-packed mid-size sedan, and this wreck opens up a genuinely impressive range of genuine OEM Hyundai components to Perth’s Sonata owners and workshops. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what is available at this time:
Body Parts & Exterior Parts
Front and rear bumper bars, bonnet, boot lid, all four doors, front guards, side mouldings, door cladding and door handles – all in the original factory grey. These colour matched grey panels are the most practical and cost effective repair solution in Perth for any Sonata owner for any collision damage or panel wear. With the LF Sonata’s flowing, sculptural body design a correct colour and finish match is particularly important. A mismatched grey panel on this car’s beautifully resolved body surfaces will be immediately obvious. We save the very considerable cost of respraying thanks to the use of grey factory panels from our wreck and obtain a seamless result that does justice to the elegant exterior design of the Sonata.
Complete LED Headlight Assemblies & Lighting
Full LED headlight assemblies with integrated LED daytime running lights – a visually distinctive and impressive feature of the Premium and Turbo specification 2016 Sonata rear LED tail light clusters front fog lights side indicators and mirror housings with integrated turn signals. Full LED headlight assemblies for the LF Sonata are some of the most expensive individual lighting parts on any mainstream Korean sedan, and buying them from our Perth wrecker instead of a Hyundai dealership is a massive financial saving for Sonata owners who have damaged their headlights. Call (08) 9358 1392 early to secure the headlight and glass, these items disappear very quickly from any popular Korean sedan wreck.
Theta II GDI Engine Parts and Turbocharger
Owners of the turbo variant will be able to locate engine components such as the 2.0-litre Theta II GDI turbocharged engine assembly, turbocharger unit, intercooler, GDI direct injection fuel system components such as the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors, throttle body, alternator, starter motor, cooling system parts such as radiator and thermostat housing and miscellaneous other ancillary engine items. The Theta II GDI high pressure fuel pump is a known wear item on the GDI turbocharged variant in particular and is an expensive part when sourced through Hyundai dealer channels. 2.0-litre MPI engine components like the cylinder head, alternator, starter motor, fuel system components and cooling components are also available to owners of the Nu MPI naturally aspirated variant. Prior to purchase, please confirm your engine code and variant with our team on (08) 9358 1392 to ensure the correct match.
Components of the Six-Speed Automatic Transmission
This vehicle is available with a six-speed automatic gearbox and six-speed manual gearbox parts depending on specification. The Sonata’s six-speed automatic is a well-respected and reliable gearbox but components do wear with age and high kilometres. For Perth workshops and Sonata owners with gearbox problems, access to quality used gearbox parts from a professionally wrecked 2016 Sonata at WA Auto Parts is a very practical and financially sound choice.
Leather Seats, Interior Trim & Premium Specification Parts
One of the most valuable things about this whole wreck for Perth buyers is that this 2016 Sonata is in absolutely amazing condition inside. Interior parts available include the premium leather seat assemblies for the front and rear for the Premium and Turbo variants, dashboard assembly, centre console, door trim panels, carpets, headlining, steering wheel with integrated controls, instrument cluster and the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment head unit with navigation. Premium and Turbo spec interior components — such as the leather seating, 8-inch navigation system, and premium trim details — are especially in demand from Active and Elite spec Sonata owners seeking to upgrade their vehicle’s interior to the Premium spec for a fraction of new dealer part pricing.
Steering, Suspension and Braking Components
This wreck has front and rear struts, control arms, sway bars, steering rack components, wheel hubs and bearings, brake callipers, rotors and brake lines. The Sonata’s suspension is appropriate for its mission as a comfortable and refined midsize sedan, providing a good balance of ride quality and handling stability. For any Sonata owner or Perth workshop when trouble shooting suspension wear or handling issues on this vehicle the best and most cost effective solution is always to source quality replacement suspension and braking components from WA Auto Parts.
Electrical Modules, ECU, Blind Spot Detection and Safety Sensors
This vehicle wreck includes an engine control unit, body control module, ABS and vehicle stability control module, airbag control module, blind spot detection modules, lane keep assist camera, reverse camera module, parking sensor control unit, 8 inch infotainment controller and navigation screen, climate control module, window regulators, and a bunch of sensors throughout the vehicle. Blind spot detection modules and lane keep assist components for the LF Sonata are particularly popular items – they are expensive through Hyundai dealer channels and are increasingly important safety features that Perth Sonata owners want to keep in proper working order. Call us ASAP on (08) 9358 1392 to secure electronic components – these always sell first from any popular Korean sedan wreck.
Paint Code & Colour Match Information
Getting the grey right on a mid-size sedan like the Sonata matters more than most owners initially appreciate – especially on the LF Sonata where the flowing body surfaces make any colour tone difference immediately apparent across large panels like doors and front guards. The 2016 Hyundai Sonata Grey is offered in four factory grey paint codes with their own unique warmth, depth and metallic character: Platinum Silver (N4S), Iron Grey (YG7), Shimmering Silver (N5S) or Graphite Grey (KLG).
Platinum Silver is a warm, medium depth with great light-catching quality. Iron Grey is a more professional, cooler tone. Shimmering Silver is a lighter shade and has a bright, modern metallic look. Graphite Grey is the darkest and most dramatic of the four, sitting in the charcoal-dark grey space and lending the Sonata a particularly sophisticated look. Call our team on (08) 9358 1392 to verify the exact paint code on our vehicle and see if it matches your Sonata, bring your car in for an in-person comparison in natural daylight or email us a clear photo and we will honestly advise you before you commit to any purchase.
Part quality & our honest guarantee
At WA Auto Parts we establish each customer relationship on quality and complete honesty – and this is especially important when dealing with a feature-rich, well-equipped Korean sedan like the 2016 Sonata. Every part removed from this Sonata wreck is inspected by us thoroughly. During our inspection process we keep a specific focus on the high pressure fuel pump and turbocharger of the Theta II GDI engine – we are familiar with the known characteristics of this engine and communicate our findings in an honest and clear manner before any component is sold.
Full LED headlight assemblies, blind spot detection modules, the 8-inch infotainment system and safety-critical components such as airbag modules and ABS systems also receive specific and knowledgeable assessment. We always tell you all the articles we find before you pay, never after. We are Perth’s most trusted Korean car wrecker because of our years of honest, consistent and customer-first approach. Get the same straight, knowledgeable answers every time. (08) 9358 1392)
Compatibility & Fitment Guide
Parts from this 2016 Hyundai Sonata Grey wreck fit more vehicles than most buyers realise. The Hyundai Sonata LF series (2014-2019) is the most compatible with our current wreck inventory, in both engine variants and all trim levels. With a 5 year production run, that means a substantial community of Sonata owners across Perth and WA can benefit.
Importantly, many of the mechanical, electrical and platform components are also shared with the Kia Optima JF series of the same generation, which uses the same underlying platform architecture and significant parts commonality with the LF Sonata. The cross-compatibility also means our current wreck is just as relevant to Perth’s Kia Optima owners – a genuinely useful bonus for drivers of both models who have struggled to source affordable parts through conventional channels. We always recommend that you confirm your exact VIN, Engine Code & Build Date with our team prior to purchase and we will ensure compatibility is confirmed correctly prior to you committing.

Q2. My Sonata has full LED headlights that have been damaged — how much can I realistically save buying from WA Auto Parts vs. Hyundai?
A lot, actually. And full LED headlights are one of the most financially significant parts requests we get from LF Sonata owners. The 2016 Sonata Premium and Turbo models are equipped with full LED headlight assemblies which are sophisticated and costly components through official Hyundai channels and replacement pricing through a dealer can genuinely surprise owners who have never had to replace one before. Buying a genuine OEM full LED headlight assembly for your 2016 Sonata Grey from our WA Auto Parts wreck will save Perth owners a very substantial amount of money compared to dealer pricing often several hundred dollars on a single headlight unit alone. These are also always one of the first things to go from any LF Sonata wreck, as so many owners require them and good quality used examples are hard to find in Perth. Please call us as soon as possible on (08) 9358 1392) to confirm availability before someone else gets in first.
Q3. I have a Sonata Turbo with the Theta II GDI engine and a faulty high-pressure fuel pump – is buying a used pump from a wrecker the right approach?
Yes to most owners of a Perth Sonata Turbo in this situation and it is in fact one of the most common enquiries we get on LF Sonata wrecks. The 2.0-litre Theta II GDI high-pressure fuel pump is a known wear item on the GDI turbocharged version of the Sonata, and the cost of a replacement unit from a Hyundai dealer can make the repair feel financially questionable on a vehicle of this age. You’re getting a quality used high pressure fuel pump from a professionally wrecked 2016 Sonata that has been honestly inspected and verified in good working order before we sell it to you – a very practical and cost-effective solution that gives you genuine OEM Hyundai quality at a price that makes the repair worth it. The first key is to verify your exact engine code prior to purchase to get the exact spec match. Before anything is committed, our team will handle this. Call (08) 9358 1392 and we will honestly walk you through condition and compatibility.
Q4. Are 2016 Hyundai Sonata LF parts interchangeable with the same generation Kia Optima?
Yes – and this is real good news for Kia Optima owners all over Perth too. Hyundai Sonata LF series and Kia Optima JF series are based on same underlying platform architecture and share large number of mechanical, electrical and drive train parts in common as a result of long standing and extensive engineering collaboration and platform sharing agreements between Hyundai and Kia. This means that a good number of mechanical components, suspension parts, electrical modules, and drivetrain parts from our current Sonata LF wreck can be used directly in the same generation Kia Optima JF. Body-specific panels and some trim items are model-specific and won’t cross over between the two cars, but the compatibility is very good and useful for mechanical and electrical parts. Always check your specific VIN, engine code and build date to be sure before you buy anything. Call (08) 9358 1392) and our team will confirm compatibility for you accurately before anything is sold.
Q5. I have a 2016 Hyundai Sonata that is beyond repair – will WA Auto Parts purchase it from me and pick it up for free?
Absolutely — and a 2016 Hyundai Sonata in any condition is the kind of vehicle we deal with all the time right across Perth. If your Sonata has a blown Theta II GDI engine, a failed turbocharger, serious collision damage including deployed airbags, a seized gearbox, significant rust which can develop on older sedans around the sill and boot areas, electrical issues that make the car unsafe or unreliable to drive, very high kilometres that make further repairs impossible to justify financially, or has simply been sitting unused in the driveway for too long — we want it. We’ll come to you anywhere in Perth, give you a totally honest and fair cash quote on the spot, pay you straight away and tow the vehicle away Absolutely free of charge.
