Hyundai Getz is a justified choice. Hyundai Getz: successful Korean hatchback Specifications Hyundai Getz

Hyundai Getz 5dr is a class B front-wheel drive five-door hatchback. In the markets of some countries, the model is known as Hyundai Click and Hyundai TB.

The debut of the Getz model took place at the Geneva AW tosalon in 2002. Then to the public Hyundai introduced a small, modern and stylish AW car.

The high body (almost 1.5 meters), windshield and hood, forming an almost straight line, complex optics with polycarbonate caps, large mirrors, high landing, give the impression that the Getz body is one-volume and very much resembles a van.

The car is available in a variety of trim levels from a simple GL to an expensive GLS. The latter offers: electric drive, heated mirrors, height-adjustable steering column, central locking and air conditioning.

The salon is carefully thought out and very functional. strict lines, excellent quality assembly, high-quality finishing materials make the AW car convenient and practical. In the back seat, which is unexpected for a small AW car, there is quite a lot of space, and the “vertical” landing allows you to stretch your legs forward. In addition, the roof of the AW car is almost flat. So there is enough headroom in the Getz. Rear seat passengers can individually adjust the inclination of their part of the seatback. However, the third headrest clearly indicates that the AW car is a five-seater. If necessary, the second row of seats folds down.

There are also many pleasant little things in the cabin that make the trip more comfortable. For example, above the driver's door is a case for sunglasses. A deep glove compartment, a shelf under the steering column, pockets in the front doors and backs of the front seats will accommodate a lot of useful things, which is very convenient and practical at the same time.

under the floor luggage compartment there is a tray with compartments for tools and other related trifles. The trunk is quite small. Rear seats that fold down in a ratio of 40:60 give additional volume to the trunk - of course, to the detriment of rear passengers. You can increase the luggage compartment up to 977 liters.

The design of the center console is dominated by rectangular and round shapes. Devices in silvery plastic edging with a pleasant green backlight are perfectly readable. The center console is turned towards the driver. The steering wheel and original manual shift lever are borrowed from hyundai coupe. The location of the steering wheel is quite convenient, although it does not have height and depth adjustments.

Getz has good visibility. wide panoramic windshield provides decent visibility in all directions. Looking back is a little worse. The glass of the fifth door is narrow, and massive rear racks and rear seat head restraints.

The weakest of the Getz power units has a volume of 1.1 liters. This engine is no different. For those who like to ride with the breeze, units with a volume of 1.3 l / 82 hp are offered. and 1.6 l / 105 hp As an alternative to the "mechanics" is a 4-speed AW tomato box - an indispensable thing in traffic jams.

The suspension has a good combination of handling and smoothness. The car overcomes turns of almost any steepness AW smoothly and confidently. The brakes work very well.

The safety and comfort of the driver was the main concern of the designers when creation of Hyundai getz. IN standard equipment AW The car is equipped with airbags with multi-phase deployment. The blow of such pillows is softer. Deformable steering column and three-point harnesses safety with a pretensioner will give additional confidence. And the steel beams built into the doors will protect against side collisions. As options are offered: ABS, TRC, heated seats, etc.

Summarizing, we can say that with release of Getz Hyundai has come close to its European classmates in terms of such indicators as build quality and driving performance. This compact urban AW car harmoniously combines a wide variety of qualities that meet the tastes and preferences of European buyers, but its main quality is an affordable price that has been managed to be kept, plus a bonus in the form of a five-year warranty.

PRODUCT FACE
"Hyundai Getz" was first shown at the Geneva AW tosalon in 2002. Produced with a hatchback body. On Russian market Available in GL or GLS trim levels. The first is simpler, only with a 1.3 liter gasoline engine (60 kW / 82 hp) and a manual 5-speed gearbox. The basic package includes a hydraulic booster, an immobilizer, a central lock, a driver's airbag, audio preparation and a full-size spare wheel (14"" wheels on steel rims). Official dealers ask $9500 for such a car. If this variant of the GL is equipped with air conditioning and electric windows, it will cost $1,100 more ($10,600).

The GLS package already includes air conditioning and power windows, as well as heated electric mirrors, an adjustable steering column, fog lights and heated front seats. Together with the same 1.3-liter engine and manual transmission, it will cost $11,200.

Replacing the "mechanics" with "AW tomato" will cost an extra thousand ($12,200). The more powerful 1.6L engine (77kW/105hp) and manual transmission will cost $2,800 more ($14,000). Well, the most expensive option is with powerful motor and AW with a tomatic box will cost $ 15,000. Note that together with the 1.6-liter AW engine, the car also acquires a wider range of options: ABS, passenger airbag, cabin dust filter, 15-inch alloy wheels.

Finally, something else can be ordered from a dealer at a service station - an alarm, parking sensors, and more. Among this "other" let's pay attention to the protection of the engine crankcase. The ground clearance of Hyundai, according to our concepts, is modest - 135 mm, but the guarantee is impressive - 5 years (although the cost of scheduled maintenance bites).
Once we already introduced readers to the Goetz, equipped with a 1.3-liter engine and a 5-speed manual, now the object of our interest is a 1.6-liter car with an AW tomato.

WHAT IS INSIDE
It happens that in the first minutes of acquaintance you pay attention to the little things, but you evaluate the main thing later. Let it not seem strange, but the first thing that caught my eye in the "Goetz" was the simply designed instructions for the positions of the 4-speed "AW tomato" and ... the absence of an ashtray. Or should the dealer put it, but forgot? Okay, let's leave the smoking accessory alone and start looking for the main thing.

Very impressed in a small "Goetz" abundance of adjustments that allow the driver to comfortably accommodate in the workplace. The steering wheel can be raised and lowered; the driver's seat has separate height adjustment of the front and rear of the pillow, and the backrest is able to change the shape of the lumbar support. In general, if you have average anthropometric data, then most likely you will find not one, but several convenient positions. Not so great in the back. As befits an AW car in this class, the Getz will fit the two rear passengers slightly taller than average. The third will force them to make room.

Perhaps this is a coincidence, but there are four cupholders in the car - as if for two front and two rear riders. They are located in pairs: in front of and behind the gearshift and parking brake handles.

The back of the rear seat has three positions of inclination and is folded in parts. The trunk is about as expected. It has two convenient niches on the sides for small items, mesh and loops for securing cargo. But back to the driver's seat. At least in order to note a good view through a closely spaced and not very tilted windshield.

Traditionally and, by the way, the control buttons for windows and mirrors are conveniently located - on the door, but at the same time a very simple inner handle. The instrument cluster is easy to read, but the speedometer is digitized, frankly, not modestly. A niche for a double-height radio tape recorder (this is good), but for a standard radio tape recorder (it has already been installed in the car), for some reason it was necessary to slightly trim the decorative trim in the central part of the panel. In general, a moderately comfortable and modern AW car of a small class, without show off and bright signs. However...

HOW IT RIDES
Already after the first kilometers it became clear: driving performance "Hyundai" - one of its highlights. In addition to the 1.6-liter engine, the designers equipped the car with large low-profile 185 / 55R15 wheels. This in itself gives the character of the AW car a certain sharpness, makes its reactions more accurate. But the Goetz has another design feature that determines good handling - the lower steering rack.

With tighter controls, any AW car responds better to steering inputs, especially a small Getz. With increasing speed, this becomes more and more noticeable. There is practically no delay in steering, so there is no need to calculate lead times.
Somewhere after 100 km / h, the suspension is connected to the struggle for controllability. Here, however, she takes not with rigidity, but with small moves, due to which the rolls of the AW car are minimal. Meanwhile, the engine makes it clear that it has not really begun to work yet.

Well, we drowned the right pedal to the floor. The motor, now too well audible in the cabin, easily gives the car a speed that goes far beyond the limits of traffic rules. Up to 150 km / h, he does it at ease, up to 170 on the speedometer - already with laziness. Further...
The set of speed is still ongoing, but now it is reminiscent of squeezing the entrails out of the AW car. Firstly, in the "kick-down" mode, "Getz" performs the task on the third and the motor starts to put pressure on the ears. Secondly, the short-travel suspension, which helped good handling at these speeds, requires a very good road, but how many of us have these? So even on small, as it seems, waves, the suspension of the 1.6-liter "Getz", squeezing out its "maximum speed", thoroughly shakes and not only tiring, but sometimes alarming.

And another interesting detail. If, with a calm ride, "AW tomato" seems very useful and pleasant, then with a more dynamic one, you just want to change it to a 5-speed manual. First of all, because with a 4-speed "AW tomato" during acceleration, the engine is heard too well.

With the brakes of our "Getz" everything is in order. Everywhere disc, front - ventilated. ABS works quite delicately, leaving the wheels a little slip.
It is generally accepted that small cute AW cars are loved by our lovely ladies. The Hyundai Getz is no exception - quite elegant and obedient to drive. But, having got acquainted with his character, you are convinced that he is more ambitious than it is customary to prescribe to a female AW car. "Goetz" is rather a typical city dweller with no clearly expressed sympathy for the weaker or stronger sex.

EVERY THIRD - UNDER THE SIGHT
Yuri Nechetov
Behind the wheel #10 2002

When buying a new car, 30% of AW car drivers in Europe prefer B-class city super-minis. This segment of the market accounts for about 4 million annual sales, but Hyundai has not been represented here so far. New model"Goetz" has eliminated the gap in the lineup between "Atos" and "Accent" and now claims the attention of every third buyer. What can seduce the novelty?
"Talented B" (Talented B or TV) - that's what the concept car was originally called, which received the serial name "Goetz" at the current Geneva AW tosalon. The car was developed specifically for Europe and demonstrates a modern appearance - international, although not very memorable. About the relationship with the "Accent" reminds, perhaps, only the section of the headlights. The design is traditional for compact AW vehicles: load-bearing body, front-wheel drive with a transverse power unit, front - MacPherson struts, rear - trailing arms connected by a cross beam.

In an effort to provide space for passengers, city cars have become noticeably stouter in recent years, adding in height and width. However, only the Citroen C3 can boast of such a combination of transverse dimensions, like that of our debutant. Only 10 mm did not "grow" "Getz" to one and a half meters, although, by the way, it has an excellent coefficient for a body of this form drag Cx=0.33.

Comfort starts with a convenient entrance, so the five-door modification was shown first; three-door hatchback will appear later. A high roof and almost vertical rear pillars - the doors are more like gates, the size of the openings to match. Landing in front resembles a mini-van: a pair of two-meter giants of the 56th size can freely fit in comfortable seat cups. The driver, in addition to two standard seat adjustments, has the ability to change the height of its front and rear parts, as well as the volume of lumbar support. The steering column is also adjustable according to the angle of inclination.

The interior matches the exterior - stylish, but discreet. Inexpensive gray plastic dominates different shades. There are two trim levels - GL or GLS; the latter includes fog lights, central locking with remote control, electric mirrors and all windows, air conditioning, audio system, power steering, EBD systems (force distribution between axles) and ABS, belt pretensioners and force limiters. Of the four airbags, two are frontal "smart" - if a child sits in front, they open softer, thanks to a smaller number of triggered squibs.

Behind, not too crowded, there will be three more men of medium size. The floor here is almost flat, and all the seat belts are three-point. The adjustable backrest of the split (40/60) seat, depending on the dimensions of the cargo, can be put forward, creating a spacious but relatively high platform, or folded forward together with the pillow, forming a deep hold with a volume of almost a cubic meter.

Modifications with gasoline engines of the Alpha series of 1.3 and 1.6 liters and a manual transmission ("AW tomato" are promised a little later) were the first to be presented - they will certainly be the most popular in Russia. The smaller of the engines, with three valves per cylinder (the same is on the Accent) provides the Hyundai Getz with moderate dynamic qualities, quite sufficient for quiet ride in the city and on the highway - a herd of 82 "horses" is clearly hobbled by the fetters of ecology. Ambitious drivers will certainly prefer the new 1.6L sixteen-valve - its 105 hp. allow you to "exchange" "hundred" in less than ten seconds. Driving pleasure will add clearly operating box gears with a short, almost toy-like handle and tenacious brakes with perfectly functioning ABS. However, it is worth noting that both motors are quite vocal. The gourmet, perhaps, will also complain about the steering: light when parking, with increasing speed it is poured with some kind of artificial weight, in which back reactions drown without a trace. However, there is also a positive point in this - sharp steering movements at speed are unsafe.

The powerful engine will fit the oversized 185/55R15 Michelin wheels - the standard (for the GLS) Hankook 175/65R14 will run to the limit. Modest tires 155 / 80R13 are designed for the cheapest modification of the GL 1.1 l - its engine is based on the Athos liter unit. The fourth engine in the range is a modern one and a half liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 80 hp. With. with intercooler and common rail system.

Hyundai Getz 1.3 GLS: Evolutionary

The new Hyundai Getz is the first pro-European AW car from Korea. His appearance is the result of the work of designers who settled in the newly built Hyundai studio in Frankfurt. It is felt: the appearance of the car is at the forefront of modern AW tomobile fashion without any hint of nationality - this is to please everyone.

It is now becoming quite clear that the Korean AW car industry has followed the Japanese path. And Hyundai is the harbinger of a new era. This sounds, perhaps, a little loud, but it most accurately reflects the process that accompanies the development of AW car manufacturing in the Land of the Morning Calm.

At one time, the Japanese "left" on the fact that they flooded the market with inexpensive, but extremely reliable AW cars. Advanced users accused Japanese cars of being too simple and unpretentious, but snapped them up like hot cakes. However, with each new generation of "Toyota" and "Nissan" became more and more refined, gradually turning into "Euromobiles".

The new Hyundai Getz is the first pro-European AW car from Korea. His appearance is the result of the work of designers who settled in the newly built Hyundai studio in Frankfurt. It is felt: the appearance of the car is at the forefront of modern AW tomobile fashion without any hint of nationality - this is to please everyone. Short overhangs - a nod to the city streets: when parking, without prior worries, you can jump onto a moderately high sidewalk; and the almost single-volume layout is designed to "push" the cabin, along the way to facilitate landing and improve visibility.

Get in the car and really comfortable. But it is even more convenient to sit inside, both for the driver and any of the passengers - this is if the trip is planned for four. The fifth will be superfluous - rear seat the width is optimal for two people. Nevertheless, you can try to squeeze back and to the maximum, since the number of seat belts in the back corresponds to just three riders.

And yet let's look at Getz from the point of view of the driver and the owner. The interior of the car is very welcoming and friendly. First of all, the workmanship of every detail, large and small, pleases: even though inexpensive materials are used in the Goetz's interior as a whole, everything is put together with the greatest precision and care. Minimal gaps and elements that fit perfectly with each other make you remember much more expensive and famous AW cars.

The design of the center console seems to be drawn with a compass and a ruler - everything that is not rectangular is necessarily round. Round, easy-to-read instruments in silvery plastic edging, round and comfortable knobs for controlling the heating and ventilation system, a semicircular visor above the dashboard. Everything else is entirely rectangles and intersecting straight lines. Strict but cute. A curious fact: the "aluminized" center console is turned towards the driver - is it really a hint of sportiness? Why not - after all, the steering wheel and the original lever of the manual gearbox are borrowed from the Hyundai Coupe!

But before starting the trip, we will study a little more other pleasant features of the Goetz salon. And there are plenty of them. Here, for example, is a case for sunglasses, which is located directly above the driver's door. And here is the hook on the back of the front passenger seat, on which, after visiting the supermarket, you can hoist a bag of groceries. There are also smaller hooks above the rear doors - it would be very nice to hang "hangers" with a suit on them. An umbrella can be attached under the steering column - there is even a special shelf provided. And we also found pockets of different capacities on the doors and chairs, where maps or magazines could well be left.

Finally, let's look into the trunk - it, as one would expect, is not bottomless. And in the literal sense, too: under its floor you can find a pallet with compartments for tools and other related trifles. Rear seats that fold down in a ratio of 40:60 give additional volume to the trunk - of course, to the detriment of rear passengers. The latter, however, have every right to make themselves comfortable by adjusting the rest of the back as they please. Adjustment range - "four clicks".

Finally - behind the wheel! Ringing 1.3-liter engine with 82 hp. gives the car dynamics, more than sufficient in the city. Getz easily reaches 100-120 km / h, but then the rate of acceleration drops. Far from the last role in matters of acceleration is played by a manual gearbox with "stretched" gears. And yet, for an urban AW car, the dynamic characteristics of the Goetz should be regarded as satisfactory.

In regular, that is, again, urban, modes, the car is very convenient and the fact that moderately sensitive steering does not force you to overstrain with each rebuild: Hyundai does not show the slightest hint of sportiness, but gives a feeling of complete mutual understanding. And the barely noticeable, at the level of nit-picking, lethargy of reactions to steering turns can be generously forgiven - and he will explain this with excellent smoothness for such a small car. The final touch to the portrait of the AW car is the brakes. Precise, efficient and very clear from the first touch of the pedal.
By the way, Hyundai also has a more powerful Getz 1.6 with a 105-horsepower engine, which promises to be even more dynamic. And as an alternative to the "mechanics" a 4-speed AW tomato box is offered - an indispensable thing in traffic jams.

So what do we end up with? In the eyes of the man in the car Korean production for a long time remained the quintessence of the concept of "a lot of AW cars for little money." However, Hyundai Getz in no way fits this definition. Its price, of course, is low. But he himself is small, because it is a compact urban hatchback with a length of less than four meters.

Representing a new round in the evolution of Korean AW cars, the small Hyundai can be counted among the epochal AW cars. Having retained the main quality inherent in any Korean car - an affordable price, and having acquired such an interesting bonus as a five-year warranty, Getz, in fact, changed citizenship. Now he is his own in Europe, which means he will be in demand and loved. Or at least respect.

Hyundai Getz 1.6 GLS: Bring tomatism to AW

Hyundai Getz is a typical "Korean": a lot of AW car for your money. We were convinced of this for the hundredth time during a test drive of the car in the basic version, with a 1.3-liter engine and a manual transmission. Neutral-modern design, high-quality assembly, excellent running characteristics. And with all this, the "budget" price, starting at $ 9,490. In general, solid reasons to rejoice.

And then - on the rise. A car with the same engine, but in an improved configuration and "AW tomato" will cost $11,690. There is also a more powerful Getz with a 1.6-liter engine. Moreover, with the "mechanics" it turns into five minutes hot hatchback(9.6 seconds to 100 km/h, by the way!), which costs $13,490. And at the top of the pyramid is the Getz 1.6 GLS with AW tomatic transmission. It is equipped much more solidly than the car that you saw in the February issue of "Wheels". Then we had a hydraulic booster, an adjustable steering column, a driver's airbag, air conditioning, power accessories and heated seats. Now they have added ABS, pillow front passenger, on-board computer and leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearshift lever. Fourteen-inch steel wheels have been replaced with 15-inch alloy wheels, audio preparation has been improved. Outside, the car is decorated with a rear spoiler and fog lights. As a result, AW car has risen in price by $4200. It seems like a reasonable fee for a comprehensive increase in "cubes", equipment and for getting rid of unnecessary manual labor. But how does it all work?

Inside, the changes are small. Naturally, the “paw” of the gearbox selector with a button catches the eye forced shutdown the highest, fourth, stage (the so-called "overdrive"). The steering wheel looks and feels nicer, and there were no complaints about its shape before. A display appeared on the dashboard between the tachometer and speedometer dials, displaying information about fuel consumption, distance traveled and outside air temperature. That's all the news.

The sensation was presented literally by the first centimeters of the way. How Getz kicks off! With zero delay to shift the accelerator! Just like a mechanic! And with wild wheel slip. There is no such speed on machines with "AW tomatoes" several classes higher! However, then everything falls into place: with an increase in speed, inhibition in reactions and delays in switching appear. And in the region of 100 km / h, to get a noticeable acceleration, you just need to put the gas pedal on the floor and patiently wait for the kick-down to work. Which is to be expected. However, the start ... In many ways, such agility is the merit of a high-torque engine, which spins very cheerfully even at the top.

Otherwise, this is the Getz already familiar to us - with reliable and calm handling and excellent smoothness for such a baby. What else? Yes, ABS. It works clearly, without panicking ahead of time, but not encouraging significant wheel slips either.
"Automatic" Getz can be safely recommended as the best option for urban use. That's just the price makes you think: after all, for this money you can find more serious cars. Elantra, for example.

BEHIND THREE DOORS
Maxim Sachkov
Behind the wheel #5 2005

Hyundai Getz"Pretty!" - the wife smiled when she saw the three-door Hyundai Getz. It is interesting that she liked it more - a fresh look of the body, not burdened by two "extra" doors, or a pretty green color? Perhaps all together. Still, the Italians (the design of the Goetz was made by them) know better than anyone what the signora wants.

“Look how cute the seats are, with red accents!” I won't lie, I like it too. However, the same upholstery, pseudo-carbon elements, leather steering wheel and the box selector are also present in the interior of expensive five-door versions. Of course, a woman will definitely check if the mirrors are built into the sun visors. Yes, dear, and in the passenger side too.

“And in the Zhiguli you can see better through the rear window.” This comparison is not in favor of most modern AW cars, the Getz is no exception. True, in the five-door version, the review is slightly wider - the test hatchback has more modest side windows. Another puncture - there is no rear wiper. The stern is quickly splashed, you are guided only by the exterior mirrors. True, they cover a fairly large sector, and are also equipped with electric heating.

"What a wide door - it's convenient to climb in." True, only in tight parking lots you will have to squeeze through a narrow gap behind a massive “gate”. There are fewer doors, but the same amount of space in the rear seats; making your way to the second row, you understand why passengers do not like three-doors so much. A little sweeten the life of the gallery useful option: rear passenger presses a small pedal, and the front seat moves forward, freeing the exit.

“Some kind of motor is sharp, the car just takes off.” I understand I didn't like it. You will have to get used to such a “hard” setting of the gearbox torque converter. At first, it is not possible to even start without squealing the wheels. Apparently, for the sake of high dynamic qualities, they decided to sacrifice smoothness by reducing the slip of the torque converter, which, we note, burns precious fuel. True, there is nothing more to blame the box for - the gears switch smoothly, in the kick-down mode it quickly jumps to the lower steps. Of course, the “Korean” is not able to argue with really powerful cars, but the driver does not feel defective.

But the appetite of the "Goetz" with a 1.6-liter engine and "AW tomato" is not the most modest - in the city there are about 12 liters.

It's a pity that the three-door "Gets" are delivered to us only in top versions: they can be called affordable with a fair stretch. After all, this model attracts most buyers not only with its good looks and good dynamic characteristics, but also low price. Basic five-door 1.3-liter cars start at $10,000. Maybe three-doors will appear on the Russian market in expensive trim levels? In the meantime, dear, let's take the subway - we'll save up.

Hyundai Getz 1.6 GLS AUTO is not a very practical, but pretty AW car. The definition of “female” is immediately glued to such.

Good dynamic qualities, stability and controllability, smooth operation of "AW tomato", a large doorway.
- There are no cheap equipment, uncomfortable landing in the rear seats, no wiper on the rear window.

Hyundai Getz. Eurasian
Anatoly Fomin
Behind the wheel #12 2005

When Hyundai-Getz entered the Russian market in 2002, he was destined to become a bestseller. fashionable European appearance, good assembly, good driving performance and the price of the base model is about 10 thousand dollars - there are fewer dangerous competitors with such a set than fingers on one hand.

Differences in the front - new headlights, hood, bumper, fenders. Hyundai Getz The numbers speak for themselves: in the first nine months of 2005, 11,456 "Getz" were sold, for the whole year, according to forecasts, no less than 15,000 will be obtained. By the way, in Europe it is the most popular model Hyundai - since 2002, more than 600 thousand cars have been sold, or 80% of the total output. In general, the updated Getz, which entered the market in October, the predecessor prepared a good start.

ROUTES SPANISH

There is not much time to get acquainted with the novelty: the road from the airport to the hotel, and the next day the way back, which, however, you can choose a more authentic one ... But still, you can’t sort out all the options out of five engines and two gearboxes. What first? With the new 1.4L engine? No, something exotic is better ... For example, a turbodiesel. In the appendage - a fashionable red interior, leather inserts on the steering wheel and gear knob. Looks very elegant.

A cavalcade of multi-coloured "Goetz", picking up speed, rushes away from the airport. The main thing is not to lag behind and not get confused in the interchanges. It’s easy to move off, the gears shift clearly, the engine is “lucky” somewhere from 1700 rpm and does not make too much noise even at the maximum 4500 rpm, although in normal mode above 3500 it makes little sense to promote it. In general, he did not lag behind, but on a protracted climb he “made” someone. But gasoline cars seem to be more powerful ...

The wide highway gave way to a narrow serpentine, and confidence diminished somewhat. The Getz is good on the road, but the light steering with a vague neutral position makes it very careful to choose the trajectory in fast corners. It is rarely possible to pass a turn without additional corrective movements.

Turbodiesel with a capacity of 65 or 81 kW is not yet planned to be delivered to Russia. Sixty kilometers flew by unnoticed, and here is the parking lot at the hotel. What will the computer say? It turns out 6.5 l / 100 km. What about petrol colleagues? Whoa, nine! It seems that they didn’t drive much ... It’s a pity, but we won’t see diesel “Goetz” in Russia.

PLEASANT ACQUAINTANCE

What to choose in the morning? Of course, the new "one and four" with a manual. And the route is longer. Here is the outskirts of Barcelona, ​​the highway going into the mountains and ... a traffic jam. However, to scare a Muscovite with congestion is like a hedgehog you know what. While we were standing in the tunnel, “just in case the firefighter” decided to clarify the detour route on the map and was surprised - a backlight appeared in the glove box.

The new version of the dashboard does not have a coolant temperature gauge. Instead, there are two lamps: blue - cold, red - overheating. What kind of cork is this? Only about 20 minutes and again free. Just in the right lane, an old Discovery expired and a puddle of oil. But there was time to evaluate the convenience of starting and driving at low speeds. This "urban" exercise is performed without problems.

Audio control panel on the steering wheel. New interior trim options - with red or blue inserts. And when we finally managed to accelerate, it turned out that the steering wheel was on petrol version clearer. Although the feeling does not leave that the “pre-styling” cars were more obedient. New engine not only high-torque, but also powerful enough - it is not difficult to change lanes to the left even in heavy traffic. Up to 3500 rpm, the motor is quite quiet, above its noise dominates even at high speed. However, non-European "long" gears allow you to stay in acoustic comfort up to 130-140 km / h.

Three-jet nozzles are a good argument in a dispute with dirt. The 1.4 liter engine is the same as the new KIA Rio. Here is a coffee stop. Time still suffers, and therefore you can take an economical Goetz with a modernized 66-horsepower 1.1-liter engine. By the way, compared to the previous one, it has an increased compression ratio (from 9.6 to 10.1), a slight increase in power (by 2 hp), and, of course, Euro IV requirements are met. Now such machines will be offered on the Russian market. Go? Here is the first surprise. Up to 80 km / h, the dynamics are quite acceptable, apparently due to the larger gear ratio of the main pair. Having accelerated to 130 km / h, I found that the cabin is almost as quiet as in a more powerful AW car. (This was later, on the plane, looking at the specification, I found out that not only the main pairs differ, but also the numbers of fourth and fifth gears.) The Goetz is not “sharpened” for maximum dynamics - even with a weak engine it will be comfortable and economical on the road. Although the very first long climb will show its true power ... With a small engine, the “cargo” skill to overtake on the move does not hurt.

Contrary to the worst expectations, the road to the airport was almost empty. A beautiful highway winds its way through the hills, periodically opening up views of the majestic and bizarre mountain of Montserrat. Why is a pleasant acquaintance always short?

DRY RESIDUE

The Hyundai Getz update can hardly be called a major upgrade. But there are differences not only in appearance, but also in character. Having adopted for the first "Goetz" European design and chassis tuning, Hyundai engineers now seem to have decided to play back. The new AW car in the European version turned out to be a little more comfortable, but noticeably “further” from the driver. Yes, and the appearance has become less expressive and more Korean. It is unlikely that this change will suit absolutely everyone, especially among the owners of the previous car. But for newly arrived fans, the advertising slogan "As good as it Getz" (it differs from the English idiom "It doesn't get better" by one letter) will be fair. At least considering the price.

THE SCIENCE OF MARKETING

You do not believe advertising? And in vain, this is the truth. Just not all. The new Getz is indeed cheaper than the old one. The base price of the car is $10,190 - $120 less! You will receive a car without air conditioning and ABS, on steel 14-inch wheels with hubcaps, one airbag, a folding split rear seat, a trunk shelf and audio preparation. Only now instead of the 1.3 l / 82 hp engine. - 1.1 l / 66 hp

The 1.3 liter engine is no more, instead of it there is a noticeably more frisky sixteen-valve 1.4 liter. With it, the price starts from $11,390. And a well-equipped car with “mechanics” will cost $13,390.

However, the most expensive three-door version with a 1.6-liter engine and AW automatic transmission costs $ 15,890 - only $ 50 more than the previous one. And with the "mechanics" and at all the same, $ 14,890. An example of competent marketing - the price fork has not changed much, but potentially the most purchased AW cars have become noticeably more expensive. Profit above all!

Hyundai Getz II: Slender eyes

It may seem to you and me that the self-confident little Getz, who is quite accomplished and successful in our country, is still young and hot. three-year second-hand, how - on you! - Koreans seem to have changed the car
But in Korea, time flies faster. Before the first Getz in Russia had time to really move into the category of the newest three-year second-hand, how - on you! - Koreans seem to have changed the car. Moreover, it seems that there are not so many changes - well, the lighting technology is different; well, the bumpers are not the same - but the impression of the AW car is completely different. Getz used to frown his brows - and now he is making eyes!

This, you know, is not some banal make-up. It's a whole gender reassignment operation! The new design of the front part completely transformed the exterior of the AW car: neutral and calm, but at the same time quite expressive and - quite definitely - the boyish appearance has gone into oblivion. The machine changed, how to say it, polarity: from now on, Getz is a female creature. And after all, what is curious: the girls liked the new look of Goetz, but the representatives of the male part of civilization who fell under my survey, on the contrary, agreed that "it was better." Let me express myself in the same spirit: yes, it was better! But this is purely a matter of taste and individual preference. If you try to judge objectively, then the car has definitely become newer and, therefore, more modern. And this is good and right - without any "probably" there.

And what else has changed under the pressure of fleeting Korean time? I'll go to the salon. You need to have a good visual memory to identify new panel instrumentation, a refreshed steering wheel with slight retouching in the area of ​​​​the hub, the center console extended onto a shallow niche. What did you forget? Here is quite an innovation: in the glove compartment now - let there be light!

From more: pads on the door armrests (or is it window sills?) Shaped like aluminum. But you will not see this in the photographs: decorations are not provided in the simple configuration of the GL. And how was it before? I looked into the pre-styling car in GLS versions- the last one left at the dealer - and saw the carbon fiber trim on the door. And yet more under the "plastic", rather than under the "coal". With "aluplastik" it will be better.

Another one: in expensive trim levels, the door handles were covered with chrome - nice. And here is the most noticeable sign of freshness, from the previously unseen - color trim! Now the interior can be powerfully "decorated" or "blue", giving more color to the fabric inserts on the seats and door trim, as well as trimming the gearshift knob and steering wheel rim to match. Fervently! Especially if the color gets into the body of the car, it is clear that in this situation it should be either red or blue. I recommend red - it's more elegant and, according to statistics, safer.

According to official information, something in Goetz has also changed in terms of technology - but, basically, a little bit. In particular, the suspension was slightly reconfigured - a drop of sedative was dropped there: the smoothness of the ride improved slightly, the sharpness in the reactions slightly decreased. And at the level of sensations, the car is still perceived as a perfectly balanced urban vehicle: moderately hard, but quite comfortable, while clear and responsive in the steering wheel.

We got a Getz with a new 1.4-liter engine with 16 valves and 97 ELs, which replaced the 1.3-liter 12-valve engine. Replaced - and did the right thing! A dozen and a half forces have not yet harmed anyone, and even more so for a light city AW tomobilchik! "Geshka", as its owners affectionately call it, cheered up in earnest: the torsion is excellent, and the moment is in place. The car moves confidently and demonstrates decent elasticity - in general, it allows you to be as fast as you want in the city. Yes, if “one and four” brings down like that, then how should “one and six” take revenge? Will definitely have to try! However, I think the difference in dynamics will not be so stunning. By by and large, new motor best option for Goetz: with him, the price tag comes out kind of like a human face, and in terms of power, the car fits well into our taxation, fitting into the cherished category of up to a hundred forces. Do you think that the buyer of a foreign car does not care about taxes? No matter how: the representative of the dealer who gave us the car specifically designated this fact as significant for the “Getzovods”. And one cannot but agree with this.

Working capital
Igor Kozlov
Behind the wheel #11 2007

The reasons for the popularity of "Hyundai-Getz" are not only in the successful combination of Italian design and Korean quality at an affordable price, but also in a harmonious and modern filling, Igor Kozlov believes. Photo: Alexander Kulnev.
The Russian market owes a boom in sales of AW B-class cars, including Getzu. Its appearance in 2002 (see the history of the model) caused a real stir - the queue for some configurations stretched for a year! Today, of course, the demand is not so great (the consumer has cooled off in anticipation of a new generation?), But cars in AW tosalons do not stagnate. Yes and on secondary market decent options snapped up, and with only a small loss in the original price. For AW, then in 2004 they ask from 230,000 rubles, and in 2006 - 260,000 - 300,000!

The salon (in the AW photo after restyling) is not bad in design and is made very soundly - nothing creaks or rattles even with runs under 100 thousand km.

The Goetz is no less popular in Europe, so it was not deprived of the attention of EuroNCAP. According to their crash test method (recall, a blow from a speed of 64 km / h on a deformable barrier with a 40% overlap), the model earned four stars. A worthy result, and even in regular operation the body is doing well: if there were no accidents, you are unlikely to find rust on it. But the bumpers, it happens, "shed". In the city crowd, they are often applied and, at first glance, painlessly. But in winter, moisture penetrates under the paint through microcracks and, freezing, removes the coating, like an eggshell. But such defects are visible.

Since 2005, the temperature gauge has given way to a pair of lamps. The red "thermometer" on the tachometer scale will be the first to report overheating when the radiator bursts. It is not easy to check the condition of the bottom with a ground clearance of 116–135 mm (depending on tires and the presence of crankcase protection) without a lift. Therefore, when buying, it is useful to visit the nearest dealer for diagnostics. When checking, we carefully examine the corrugation exhaust system. It is not difficult to damage it (it is located low), and even without extraneous “help”, it often burns out.

In the power system of some versions (here the G4EA engine), the emergency fuel cut-off valve (shown in a circle) is sometimes triggered by strong road shaking. ALPHA&EPSILON

In addition to the auditory rejection of the "bubbling" exhaust, the leaky corrugation causes malfunctions in the engine, because rear sensor oxygen is installed after it. The sensor cannot “smell” the part of the gases that has gone “to the left”, therefore it starts to give an incorrect signal to the engine control unit, and that, in turn, goes into emergency mode and ignites the Check Engine. In this case, the converter is worst of all: after all, the controller, not knowing the true composition of the exhaust, has the right to make a mistake with the quality of the mixture, which is not good for the converter. Therefore, it is more expensive to postpone the replacement of the receiving pipe (the corrugation is welded into it). If you have welding skills, and the pipe itself is not badly damaged, it makes sense to change only the corrugation - you can find a suitable size (45x205) for 400 rubles. Keep in mind, the warranty on the catalytic converter is less than on the AW in general - only a year with no mileage limit.

With the G4ED (1.6 liter) engine, the Getz is very nimble - 105 horses carry 985 kg of curb weight. The main thing is to change the candles in time (under the silver lining) and prevent overheating. We carefully monitor the temperature of the engine! True, after the restyling, its pointer in the dashboard was gone, but instead of it, there are now two lamps on the tachometer field, one of which (with a red “thermometer”) signals overheating. And it can happen due to bursting plastic radiator tanks and, accordingly, the loss of coolant. This happens, according to dealers, from the effects of chemicals that are poured over our roads in winter. When replacing, we recommend finding a more resistant radiator of a new model, which has been going into spare parts since this year.

Up to 70 thousand km, you can not think about repairing the suspension, of course, if you do not fly through the curbs. Hub bearings are also afraid of impacts, which live up to 150 thousand km in sparing conditions. On the AW part, an emergency fuel cut-off valve was installed, designed to work in case of an accident, but it often shuts off the supply during any strong shaking. It is not difficult to return it to its original state, you just need to feel it under the rubber cap and press the cocking button (the valve itself is on the right mudguard).

Due to the low ground clearance, the resonator often suffers from bumps, but more often the exhaust corrugation, so it is better to protect the crankcase. But the tubes are well hidden. The 1.4L engine (G4EE, see Model History) is very critical to fuel quality, which sometimes manifests itself during cold starts. The first 15-25 seconds of operation, the revolutions "walk" from 700 to 3000, and in some cases the engine even stalls. When you restart or when the AW oscillations fade, everything returns to normal, but an unpleasant aftertaste remains. There is nothing wrong with that - it's just that the control unit is honestly trying to meet the tough environmental regulations, and on our, to put it mildly, mediocre fuel, he does not always succeed. We solve the problem by changing the gas station or more radically - changing the firmware of the control unit from the basic identifier TFE6I41 to the modified TFE6I42 for Russian realities. It takes dealers 20-25 minutes to do this, and the work is done free of charge (of course, if the car is under warranty).

IN rear suspension with an H-beam, parts last surprisingly long. The exception is shock absorbers, they are sometimes not enough for 80 thousand km. Rear brakes may be disk. They suffer from bad gasoline and candles, requiring the replacement of the previously prescribed 30 thousand km, but cases of valves hanging from resins in the fuel on Goetz are rare. However, dealers recommend periodically flushing injectors without dismantling to remove carbon deposits from the combustion chambers and wash resins from valve guides and valve stems. Other malfunctions on the motors of the Alpha and Epsilon series are random.

Praying for coolness and receiving a refusal, the first thing we check under the hood is the evaporator tube with a yellow sticker. The fistula is more often formed on its bend from the back. There are no objective statistics for the only U-Engine diesel in the range. Cars with him were not officially delivered here, and those that ended up in Russia are few. Therefore, taking this option in pursuit of efficiency is not worth it. It's a shame: in the West, according to our information, there are no problems with these motors.

AUTOMATIC SHUTTER

Clutch life, as always, is highly dependent on driving style. There are known cases of replacing the driven disk for 15 thousand km, but basically the node serves at least 100 thousand km. There are almost no problems with a manual gearbox, except that after 120 thousand km, the drive oil seals may require replacement. The machine, on the other hand, happens to suffer from malfunctions, and the installers of radio equipment are considered the culprits (and you won’t even think!) As you know, Goetz is not equipped with it, leaving the consumer to choose the sound to his liking, with which he turns to the masters. Some of them do not bother with careful laying of wires (they are still not visible behind the interior details), and in addition, they cut the factory gasket routes, one of which goes to the “overdrive” button in the lever. It is worth accidentally tightening the wire - and its compensation loop will decrease, which sooner or later will lead to breaking off the wire at the bend (the lever does not stand still). Building wires is a simple matter, but in order to get to the place of repair, you need to disassemble half the cabin.

The same bleak procedure awaits when the center console bulbs burn out (baseless 12V, 1.2W). Korean light bulbs break down surprisingly quickly, perhaps not shaking. The main thing when replacing is not to lose or break the six caps for attaching the lining, otherwise you risk “breeding the crickets”.

It happens that the seat heating buttons fail. Such a disease is easy to prevent: clean the cabin regularly and find another place for a damp umbrella. Also avoid getting the remote control on the driver's door wet, although it is a little more tolerant of water procedures.

FROM THE WORLD BY A STRING

The suspension of the car is quite tenacious. If breakdowns are avoided, then up to 70-80 thousand km you can not even think about repairs. By this time, as a rule, stabilizer bushings are suitable and may be asked rear shock absorbers. Stabilizer struts live for 90 thousand km, and silent blocks, front shock absorbers, ball bearings and steering tips often step over the hundred thousandth barrier. On AW, then with the power steering, after 60 thousand km, the tip of the pressure line hose sometimes sweats along the rolling. If at the same time there are no noticeable streaks, then you can take your time with the replacement.

The front brake pads last an average of 30-40 thousand km, and the front discs last twice as long as the rear pads. On the AW part, then (with a 1.6 liter engine) the rear mechanisms can be disc, their pads can withstand 50-60 thousand. There are no special problems with the brakes, even cases of warping of discs and wedging of calipers are rare. In general, the car turned out to be successful. We believe that the army of thousands of owners was not disappointed in the choice.

Secondary market 07 July 2011 Choosing the right one (Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Getz, Kia Rio)

We are in no hurry to leave the "B" automotive segment, which we began to consider in the last issue of the magazine, because Russian annual sales in this segment amount to many hundreds of thousands, or 39% of the total number of cars sold in 2008.

Secondary market April 11, 2011 Children of the metropolis (Peugeot 206, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Getz, Opel Corsa)

When choosing such a car in the secondary market, as a rule, a purely utilitarian question arises at the forefront: how much will its maintenance and operation cost? And not only because such used cars are most often the first in someone's life, but as you know, money on your first car is the hardest to earn.

The Russian market now has ten inexpensive compact hatchbacks with a base price of up to 400,000 rubles. Models for every taste: three-door and five-door, petrol and diesel, European and Asian. There should be no problems with the choice.

Change of status (Getz 1.6 (3 doors)) Test Drive

A three-door modification "Hyundai Getz" appeared in the showrooms of dealers. A car with a five-door body has long been familiar Russian buyers and even managed to earn the status of "people's". In order to purchase the most affordable version of it, you need to sign up for a queue. There are no queues for a new modification. It just costs a lot and is intended for a rather narrow target audience.

The new generation of Hyundai Getz 2019 2020 made a pretty strong impression on me. As soon as I saw updated version urban subcompact, I realized that it was not just a banal restyling, but a real reincarnation.

The start of sales of the 2019 Hyundai Getz in Russia should take place at the very beginning of summer. In the meantime, I propose to get acquainted with interesting facts.

Subcompact appearance transformations

The front of the car has changed almost beyond recognition. Appearance has become more stylish, solid and presentable. The hood of the car received soft, streamlined shapes and lines. The headlights have grown significantly in size and have become plastic. Their shape resembles large petals.

The radiator grille of the new Hyundai Getz 2019 2020 is miniature with a wide plastic insert located horizontally. The front bumper perfectly complements the overall design with its miniature design.


It is decorated with a wide plastic trim on which a license plate is attached. The central part of the bumper is occupied by a narrow slot of the air duct, on the sides of which there are round fog lights.

In the photo of the 2019 Hyundai Getz, you can clearly see what the car has become from the side. The roof of the body is located horizontally. Large side mirrors equipped with turn signal repeaters. The side windows cut through wide black plastic pillars. The horizontal window sill line is duplicated by a clear stamping edge. Below you can see a wide black overlay.

The same lining is on the back. It runs along the top of the massive rear bumper. I liked the big window back door. In the upper part of it there is a wide visor. A little lower is a stop sign.

Little space in the cabin

The compactness of the machine makes itself felt. There is not as much space in the cabin as we would like. According to the reviews of the owners of the Hyundai Getz 2019 2020, rear row passengers will not feel very comfortable. But there is more than enough free space above your head. All this thanks to the flat roof of the body.

The seats are quite comfortable with a lot of adjustments. In addition, you can adjust the backs of the rear row seats, which was not possible in the previous version. Also behind are not two, but three head restraints. But there is no way to adjust the steering column. It simply doesn't have that feature.

Pleased with the presence of pockets, shelves, stands for various little things. Dashboard done simply, no frills. It has a rectangular design with round sensor windows and deflectors. I really liked the pleasant amber-green backlight, which relaxes and soothes.

The quality of finishing materials is not at the highest level. In my opinion, lacks practicality and reliability. Plastic is harsh and has a habit of creaking in the cold. The review is not very good. He is hindered by wide pillars and a low landing of the driver's seat. And this is despite the panoramic design of the windshield, the area of ​​​​which has been increased. Modern equipment options include:

• immobilizer;
• cruise control system;
• fog lights;
• airbag for the driver;
• heated front seats;
• seat belt pretensioners.

Two engines for Russia

The new Hyundai will arrive in Russia with two options for power equipment. These will be two gasoline engines with a high level of efficiency. The creators managed to improve the technical Hyundai specifications Getz 2019 2020. I have listed some of the metrics in the table below.

As modern transmissions, a 5-speed "mechanics" or a four-speed "automatic" are offered. Front suspension independent, rear semi-independent. Buyers will also have the opportunity to purchase a car with a 1.1-liter engine that has a return of 66 hp. It is also installed on .

Three trim levels of the 2019 Hyundai Getz will be offered on the Russian market. IN basic version available:

1. ABS system, exchange rate stability.
2. Air conditioner.
3. Multiphase airbags.
4. Belts with pretensioners.
5. track control system.
6. Heated front seats.
7. Fog lights.

This version will cost from 500,000 rubles. In more expensive trim levels available:

• leather-aluminum decorative elements;
• cruise control system;
• climate control;
• power steering;
• immobilizer;
• airbag for the driver.

The price of this version of the new Hyundai Getz 2019 in the showroom will be 650,500 rubles. The maximum execution will cost 780,000 rubles.

Analysis of competitors from the market

Among small cars, you can find worthy competitors for the 2019 Hyundai Getz. For example, Peugeot 206 and VAZ Kalina. I liked Peugeot's appearance more than Hyundai's. The machine is reliable, playful and maneuverable. Even when loaded Peugeot accelerates quickly. Responds to the driver's commands instantly.

IN winter time the cabin warms up quickly. Electronics works like clockwork. A big advantage is the body's high resistance to corrosion. The steering wheel turns smoothly, so driving is a pleasure. Peugeot's serious blunder is the soundproofing of the cabin, which is practically absent. In sunny weather it is very difficult to see the instrument readings. In severe frost, starting the engine the first time will not work. I also note uncomfortable seats, stiff suspension and a small trunk.

Real breakthrough for domestic viburnum became a clear work of electronics. The stove works so that in winter you can drive with the windows open. The car is frisky, dynamic and behaves well in close city traffic. Unlike Hyundai's seating Kalina comfortable, have excellent lateral support. Not on last place quality of finishing materials. But the corrosion resistance of the VAZ is very low. Literally after a year of operation, a major overhaul is required.

Not in favor of Kalina high flow fuel, rigid suspension, poor quality assembly, as well as unstable paintwork. The disadvantages I also include poor sound insulation, a small trunk, a small interior.

To the attention of the buyer

The advantages of the Hyundai Getz include:

• good body design;
• clear instrument panel;
• low price Hyundai Getz 2019;
• good acceleration dynamics;
• low fuel consumption;
• efficient brakes.

The negative points are the following shortcomings.

1. Uncomfortable chairs.
2. Low landing of the driver.
3. Small interior and luggage compartment.
4. Tendency to deviate from a given trajectory.
5. Rigid suspension.
6. Bad soundproofing.

The world-famous South Korean car brand launched the Hyundai Getz model in 2002. Belonging to the B-class subcompact is great for traveling around the city. In 2018-2019, the design was completely changed and the shortcomings of the first versions were corrected. Changes to the main queue affected:

• power - a new 97 hp engine was installed. With.;
• external and internal finishing;
• exhaust system.

South Korean cars have always been famous for their low cost and ambiguous purpose. The situation is exactly the same with the new Hyundai Getz, which, it would seem, has undergone a minimum of updates, but has changed quite a lot.

The new version of Hyundai Getz 2018-2019 has undergone strong stylistic changes compared to previous cars of this model range. Surprising is the fact that the appearance of cars has nothing to do with equipment, except in those cases when a more advanced lighting system is installed.

Especially strongly in a practically new car, its front part has changed:

• the hood has acquired smooth shapes and streamlined lines;
• headlights increased in size and changed the material to plastic;
• the radiator grille received a plastic insert located horizontally;
• the front bumper has been reduced in size and received narrow air duct slots, next to which are fog lights.

Rest external changes better seen in the photo. Talking about design in words is useless, but you should take into account reviews on the Internet.

The new Hyundai Getz 2018-2019 has an extremely small interior capacity, although the car was initially declared compact. Due to the small amount of space in the cabin, rear-row passengers may feel some discomfort, despite the fact that there is more than enough headroom.

The main advantages of the salon include the following factors:

• convenient adjustment of the rear seat backs;
• the presence of three headrests in the rear seat;
• the dashboard is made in a simple style and is devoid of any frills;
• there are many pockets and shelves for various purposes;
• the gearshift lever from the automatic transmission and mechanics is made of pleasant materials.

It is also worth noting the local electronics, directly related to the technical characteristics of the machine, especially if an automatic gearbox is used. The standard version of Hyundai Getz 2018-2019 has:

• air conditioning;
• heated front seats;
• ABS system, exchange rate stability;
• track control system;
• multiphase airbags;
• belts with pretensioners;
• fog lights.

Otherwise, Hyundai Getz does not really stand out among other cars on modern market. However, it is important to note that the main advantage of this car is still its technical characteristics, and not the appearance or additional functions. This is also evidenced by numerous reviews on the Internet from car owners.

More advanced Hyundai Getz without changing the size can be equipped with:

• leather-aluminum decorative elements;
• cruise control system;
• climate control;
• immobilizer;
• additional airbags for the driver;
• hydraulic power steering.

The price for models with such a complete set in the Russian market can be in the region from 650 thousand to 800 thousand rubles.

Specifications

At the sight of the new Hyundai Getz 2018-2019, the visual design of the new car from the world-famous South Korean company immediately catches your eye. Key visual notes include:

• reduced body, making the car visually smaller;
• increased ground clearance, guaranteeing the best ground clearance;
• the clear superiority of steel in machine designs, that is, plastic parts on the body at least.

It is worth noting that outwardly the car seems extremely small and unreliable, however, according to the assurances of developers, critics and, of course, car owners, this car guarantees the highest level of safety during the trip and has excellent technical characteristics. This, in turn, directly proves that the appearance in this car plays a minimal role, as well as the price.

Body features

One of the main structural advantages of this minivan is its luggage compartment. Standard hyundai trunk Getz 2018-2019 is extremely small, but thanks to the folding rear seats overall dimensions luggage compartment increase to 1130 liters.

There are two types of cars in total:

• 3-door;
• 5-door.

At the same time, in any case, it has five passenger seats.

A big disadvantage of the body of a new car is not only the size (very relatively), but also its high susceptibility to corrosion.

Engine and gearbox

Although the price for new car Hyundai Getz 2018-2019 is only 300-350 thousand rubles in any Russian car dealership, its technical characteristics will make any car lover reconsider his attitude to compact cars. In total, there are two types of engines with different technical characteristics:

• 4-liter engine with a power of 97 Horse power;
• 6-liter engine with a capacity of 105 horsepower.

It is important to note that the new South Korean car is not equipped with diesel engines - in all possible trim levels they have only gasoline engines.

Separately, it is worth evaluating the power capabilities of each engine:

• a car with a 1.4-liter engine accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds, consuming 5.0-7.4 liters of fuel and reaching a maximum speed of 174 km / h;
• a car with a 1.6-liter engine reaches 100 km / h in 9.8 seconds, burning 5.5-9.8 liters of fuel and gaining top speed equal to 175 km/h.

Each 2018-2019 Hyundai Getz car is equipped with a modern 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic gearbox.

Important! Buyers of the new Hyundai Getz will have the opportunity to purchase a car equipped not only with high-performance engines, but also with a 1.1-liter engine with 66 horsepower. This car option is the most budget.

Electronics

A big advantage or disadvantage, depending on the opinion of a particular motorist, is electronics, which make up most of the filling of the new Hyundai Getz. This is due to the fact that there is a very ambiguous opinion about electronics, which is fully indicated by the reviews of real people on the Internet.

According to experts involved in the analysis of the car, the electronics are perfect. During the operation of the car, as a rule, no serious failures and similar problems were found. Even the 6-speed automatic in this minivan performed particularly well.

Video test drive

Appearance little Hyundai Getz does not make the heart beat faster, and many, passing by, do not even notice this car. However, this has its advantages for those who are not used to standing out.

Model History

The first serial Hyundai Getz was released in 2002. In addition to South Korea, the car was assembled in India, Malaysia and even Venezuela. The subcompact was offered in many markets and therefore had several names. For example, in Korea and Syria - Click, in India - Getz Prime, and in Japan - TV. In Venezuela, the baby was generally available under a false name - Dodge Brisa II.

Three years after world production models gained full speed, the Koreans decided to restyling. The car received more rounded headlights, an updated grille and taillights. From that point on, the Getz model was sold unchanged until 2009, when the Hyundai i20 took its place. However, in many countries, the production of the model was still ongoing, in particular, Getz was supplied to Russia until 2011.

Engines

Petrol:

R4 1.1 (63-66 HP)

R4 1.3 (82-85 HP)

R4 1.4 (97 HP)

R4 1.6 (105-106 HP)

Diesel:

R3 1.5 CRDi (82 hp)

R4 1.5 CRDi (88-101 hp)

1.1 liter 12 valve petrol engine.

In a car of this segment, the choice of the right engine is determined, above all, by efficiency. For this reason, the base gasoline engine immediately disappears. It just seems like small unit will save on fuel. In order to accelerate the car at least a little, you will have to “turn” the engine strongly, and this will inevitably lead to an increase in fuel consumption. And although the appetite will not be too big, it will be commensurate with the level of consumption of engines with a capacity of 1.3 and 1.4 liters.

The base 1.1-liter unit has mechanical valve clearance compensation, which requires periodic monitoring (once every 30,000 km) and complex adjustment. The 1.3-liter engine is similar in design to the base unit, but is equipped with hydraulic valve clearance compensators. Unfortunately, hydraulic lifters wear out fairly quickly, resulting in a very noisy engine immediately after starting. The 1.6-liter engine has a variable valve timing system and two camshafts in the block head. All gasoline units are equipped with a timing belt drive, which must be replaced every 60,000 km.

Is it worth considering the purchase of an "exotic" diesel modification? At today's prices and the quality of diesel fuel, this is not the most profitable solution. Diesel units CRDi family, especially when long runs, are prone to malfunctions, expensive to fix. One of the most common failures is the failure of the boost pressure sensor. But there are pluses - diesel engines are more flexible and consume less fuel - 5-7 l / 100 km. It is worth noting that the 3-cylinder unit does not differ in softness of work: it growls and vibrates strongly.

With age, in many instances, engine oil leaks through the oil sump and crankshaft oil seals. Nevertheless, there is no need to dismantle engines for serious repairs before 200-300 thousand km.

Design features

Hyundai Getz has two body types: 3-door and 5-door. The most popular, of course, are the 5-door versions. Unfortunately, many cars of the first years of production are very poorly equipped and do not even have air conditioning, ABS and power steering. The last two entered the list of serial equipment after the update in 2005.

In cars of this class, there is almost never a place for suspension. complex scheme or a technologically advanced transmission. The thesis is also true for the Hyundai Getz. The front suspension is a classic MacPherson strut and the rear is a torsion beam. A choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic was offered. According to the results of crash tests EuroNCAP Hyundai Getz earned 4 races.

Typical problems and malfunctions

Goetz in terms of reliability is perhaps one of best cars in brand history. But he is far from the notorious Japanese impeccability. What can fail? First of all, the suspension, which is a common thing on Russian roads. In front, the stabilizer struts and bushings, as well as silent blocks of levers, are knocked out quite quickly. Behind - shock absorbers wear out prematurely, and anthers sometimes begin to knock. Due to the separate arrangement of springs and shock absorbers, replacing the latter is cheaper and easier. With age, drum brakes can also rattle.

Getz owners complain about the unsatisfactory quality of the paintwork, which is vulnerable to the slightest scratches, and sometimes even peels off. However, thanks to the 90% galvanization of the body, there is no outbreak of an epidemic of corrosion. Things are different with the subframe and exhaust system, which often rust. In older cars, traces of corrosion can be found in engine compartment, on the bottom, elements of the running gear and the brake system.

Sometimes there are problems with the controller power plant or refuse high voltage wires. The rest of the shortcomings are usually minor. Problems with the central lock, tailgate lock, ABS sensors (contact oxidation) and flimsy door seals are another typical sores of this model.

The market is quite well stocked with spare parts: they are available and very cheap. Therefore, Goetz can be recommended to novice drivers. Troubleshooting and the consequences of possible accidents will be quick and easy.

Conclusion

It is quite possible to find a still young and already inexpensive Hyundai Getz on the market. In addition to an excellent price-to-age ratio, the Getz provides a decent level of comfort and a fair amount of space for its class. But, unfortunately, the car also has disadvantages, including rather poor equipment and finishing materials of not the best quality. However, the compact in terms of reliability surpasses much more reputable rivals. Thus, it is an excellent choice for people with a rational approach who need a reliable, inexpensive and practical car.

Typical faults:

1. Engine roughness is usually caused by faulty high voltage wires.

2. A loud exhaust sound occurs when the flexible connector of the exhaust pipes is worn.

3. Short-lived rear shock absorbers are easy to change and have a wide range of inexpensive replacements.
