The Hyundai Getz (also sold as the Hyundai Click or Hyundai
TB) is a supermini car produced by the Hyundai Motor Company, sold in most
of the world but not the US or Canada. It is available in three and five door
hatchback body styles, and with a 4-speed automatic transmission or 5-speed
manual transmission.
A facelift for the 2006 model saw the Getz receiving a 4 cylinder 1.5 litre
diesel option, upgraded dash and interior facia and trim, new front and rear
styling, driver and front passenger air bags. In the UK air conditioning and
side airbags were fitted to all models as standard.
2002-2006 Hyundai Getz
Trim levels in the were UK GSi, CDX and Sport. However, in Australia and New
Zealand XD and XE were the main trim levels.
Hyundai Getz Safety
In Australia, the 2002-04 Hyundai Getz was assessed in the Used Car Safety
Ratings 2006 as providing "significantly worse than average" protection for
its occupants in the event of a crash.[1].
Conversely, the car was awarded a respectable 4 stars (out of five) in its
2004 EuroNCAP crash tests. It turned in what EuroNCAP described as a "reasonably
balanced performance" and "generally good" in-car protection for children.
It was noted, however, that the design of the car did little to protect pedestrians.
Reflecting market priorities and price point control, some safety equipment
is either unavailable or available only as extra-cost options on some models
in some markets. The South African market version, for example, is not available
with side airbags at any price and makes do without a rear foglight and a
third three-point seatbelt on the rear seat. In the Philippines and south
America, the Getz is not fitted with airbags or ABS brakes as standard.
