Hyundai's popular sedans and crossovers are easy to service with the right brake pads. Here is how to choose and buy brake pads for your Hyundai.
Popular Hyundai models we cover
We carry brake pads and brake kits across the Hyundai lineup, including the Elantra, Sonata, Santa Fe, Tucson, Accent, Azera, Veloster, Kona, and Palisade. Front and rear sets are separate part numbers, and the fronts typically wear first - see front vs rear brake pads.
Which compound for a Hyundai?
Most Hyundais are sedans and crossovers that came on ceramic pads from the factory, and quiet, low-dust ceramic is the right choice again for daily driving. If you regularly load up a Santa Fe or Palisade or tow within its rating, a heavy-duty pad adds fade resistance. Our choosing brake pads guide explains the differences.
Getting the fitment right
Hyundai brakes can vary by trim, engine, and rotor size - for example, turbo or sport trims may use larger brakes than base models. Confirm the year, model, and where possible the trim, and check front vs rear position. Every listing states the verified fitment - see our FAQ for confirming it.
Do the job right
- Replace pads as a full axle set with fresh hardware.
- Check the rotors - see rotor minimum thickness.
- Bed the pads in - see the bedding guide.
