Maxabout Review
Hottest Diesel Hatch In India!!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
With a fresh new Euro-chic styling, thoughtfully designed interiors and a refined diesel engine, the all new Hyundai Getz gives you a global driving experience. The first sight itself will give the impression of a perfect mid-size car and the performance will underline your verdicts. The prominent full width Detachable Bumper Insert Moldings add to the sportiness, prevent external scratches and are easy to replace. Stylish elongated headlamp in harmony with the hood lines ensure optimum brightness and visibility. Refined and redesigned single horizontal slat Grille comes with a prominent 'H' logo and chrome insert.
The round bumper inserted fog lamps assist not only in better visibility especially during inclement weather but also accentuate a sporty look. Clear rear combination lamps offer fresh look and improved visibility while their contour has been designed to harmoniously integrate with the tailgate. This variant features a 16V DOHC 1.5L 1493 cc CRDi engine with 5 gear manual transmission. It has a seating capacity of five people.
Additional comfort features standard to this model are air conditioning with heating, power steering with tilt facility, internally adjustable ORVM, rear defogger, and roof antenna. Internally variable front wiper and cigar lighter are also provided. etz is equipped with a tilt steering which ensures easy maneuvering with optimal effort and a comfortable driving position as per convenience. Backrest angle can be set to one's comfort level.
It is very useful during long drives. The Getz Prime is the only car in the segment to offer reclining rear seat backrest. Effective heating, Air-conditioning and Ventilation of Getz Prime ensures year around driving comfort. etz is the only car in it's segment to offer Double folding 60: 40 Split RR seat Backrest As standard fitments. The interior beige and brownish/black finish was looking very good and was giving a classy feel but the center console wooden finish was looking pathetic. It wasn't uncomfortable or bad but they looked pretty boring.
The front seats were pretty comfortable and offered good overall support, not too soft or too hard. The other change i notice is the steering wheel nice and small, same as verna. Rest everything is same as it was in Getz GLS petrol. Getz CRDi comes in only one variant and Hyundai will not give you ABS for this model, even as an option.
The car deserves it, hopefully like with the Verna, Hyundai will eventually come around. The sole GVS version of the Getz CRDi costs Rs 5.97 lakh ex-showroom Mumbai, which makes it quite pricey. But remember, this engine also has the capability to really stretch that litre of fuel.
