The Hyundai Getz is a 3-door hatchback / 5-door hatchback from Hyundai, built from 2002 to 2009, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: 1.1 .
Where it came from
The Hyundai Getz is a supermini manufactured and marketed by Hyundai from 2002 to 2011 in three- and five-door hatchback body styles over a single generation — and marketed globally except in the United States, Canada and China. The Getz was marketed as the Hyundai Click in South Korea, Hyundai Getz Prime in India, Hyundai TB (for "Think Basic") in Japan, Inokom Getz in Malaysia, or Dodge Brisa in Venezuela.
After the launch of its successors, the i20 (2008) in Europe and Accent RB (2010) in South Korea, the Getz continued to be marketed worldwide, with production ending in 2011. The name Getz reportedly stands for "achieved by desirability, a link-up of GET and IT, or "GET IT."
Under the skin
Power comes from 1.1 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 930 -. It shifts through a 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2455 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Hyundai i20 / Hyundai Accent WIT; assembly was at Ulsan. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Citroën C3, the Mazda Mazda6, the Kia Sorento — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Hyundai catalogue sit the Hyundai Accent WRC and the Hyundai Accent.
