About the Hyundai Getz

The Hyundai Getz was a pivotal model for the South Korean brand, designed at its European engineering centre in Frankfurt to compete directly with established superminis like the Ford Fiesta. The 1.1 GSi served as the entry-level variant, offering a facelifted design from late 2005 with rounded headlights and improved interior materials. While its performance is modest, the Getz is noted for its exceptional reliability, space-efficient 'wheel-at-each-corner' design, and a versatile rear seating system that could both slide and recline. It remains a popular choice for first-time drivers due to its low insurance groups and straightforward mechanicals.
