Tow hook for sonata, cadenza, optima and rio – 091471C000
This tow hook is a proper bit of kit: simple, tough and built to do the job without fuss. Made from heavy‑duty forged steel and finished in a black powder coat, it’ll take the knocks and shrug off corrosion. In short, no flimsy fittings that’ll let you down when you’re stranded by the roadside.
Product overview
Think of it as a small insurance policy for the unexpected. If you ever need to be moved, a dedicated towing eye lets recovery crews attach a strap without risking the bumper or paintwork. It’s also a neat, subtle bit of styling if you like a sporty nod — functional and it looks the part.
Fitment and compatibility
This is supplied as replacement part number 091471C000. It’s listed as compatible with a range of Hyundai and Kia models including Sonata (2016–2017 2.0L L4), Optima (various years/engines), Cadenza (2014–2016 3.3L V6) and Rio (2018 1.6L). Always double‑check the part number against your vehicle handbook or the tow eye already fitted to your car to avoid any nasty surprises when it comes to fitting.
Installation and everyday use
Fitting is straightforward: the hook bolts into the designated tow point behind the front bumper. No fancy tools or modifications are usually required — a few basic spanners and you’re sorted. That means when a neighbour or recovery service needs to move the car, you won’t be faffing about trying to find somewhere safe to attach a strap. Handy in winter or on narrow country lanes when a swift, safe recovery really matters.

Why choose this tow hook?
It’s robust, straightforward and purpose‑built — perfect if you want peace of mind without messing about with fiddly parts.

Otherwise, it’s a tidy, durable and cost‑effective way to be prepared for roadside recoveries.
If you’re thinking about heavy recovery work, leave that to the professionals with the correct kit and methods. For everyday towing and emergency use, though, this tow hook is a reliable, no‑nonsense choice. Just check the part number and your vehicle manual before ordering to make sure it’s the right fit.
