It is not very difficult to guess that Hyundai Getz was designed for the European market- the extra attention paid to the interiors, an extremely stiff chassis, massive A-pillars, all point at no other direction.
Hyundai Getz was launched in India in 2004 amidst great fan fare; the success of Hyundai Santro in the country had lead the expectations to soar. Hyundai Getz impressed everyone with its tastefully designed interiors- spacious as it is, it comes at the cost of boot space.
Some of the Features of Hyundai Getz
Engine- Hyundai Getz derives impressive power of 82.9 ps at 5500 rpm and a torque of 11.8 Kgm at 3200 rpm, from its unbelievably smooth 12 V, 4 Cylinder Inline, MPFI, 1.3 Litre SOHC engine, fired by Distributor less ignition system.
Transmission- Hyundai comes with 5-speed manual transmission- which translates into a more improved shift feel and lesser use of gear.
Suspension- The frontal suspension has McPherson type strut, this ensures highest level of comfort and safety while driving.
Tilt Steering- The steering of Hyundai Getz can be adjusted to suit the convenience of the person driving the car.
Brakes- Hyundai Getz is harnessed by the Front Ventilated Disc & Rear Drum Brakes, which provide incredible braking ability. Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) though optional, comes of great use in emergency situations.
Clutch Lock- Hyundai Getz is the first to come up with this unique feature, which makes ignition to remain non-functional until clutch is presses. This cleans out jerk starts.
Hyundai Getz is available in three variants- GLE, GVS, GLS and GLX.
