Hyundai Getz Facelift

Hyundai's best selling European model gets a face-lift and will be shown for the first time at Frankfurt. The new look includes rounded headlamps and a bigger, bolder grille. Another part of the car's mid-cycle upgrade is the addition of a new diesel engine. The restyled Getz will use Hyundai's more powerful and more efficient 1.5-liter turbodiesel. The inline four-cylinder engine replaces the 1.5-liter three cylinder. The new engine has two power levels, 88 hp and 110 hp, up from 76 hp and 82 hp. The I-4 burns 9 percent less fuel than the I-3, Hyundai says. Customers in Europe have bought 266,000 of the 550,000 Getz models Hyundai has built since the car was introduced in 2002.

It nearly seemed impossible that Hyundai had not still taken inspiration from the own SUV in order to put to point "a special" version of the Getz, but the saying "time to the time" never does not contradict... and therefore to appear an official notice here prints of the Korean House, that it makes official the arrival for the 2007 of one version "Cross" to a price estimated of approximately 15,000 euro. Getz Cross, this the name of compact the five doors dedicated to who wants something in more of the utilitaria usual, shares with the Getz base practically all... even if the new aesthetic characterization off-road, that it previews bombati circles from 15", raised order, bars portatutto, bumpers and codolini/minigonne in crude plastic, more and more render the aspect of the more aggressive car and online with those canoni stilistici in rise between the European motorists. Under to the cowling we find the tested propeller 1,5 CRDi, able of 88 CV and 215 Nm of the maximum brace that remain constant between the 1,900 and the 2,500 giri/min. For how much it concerns the performances Getz Cross touches the 173 km/h of the maximum speed, assuring a passage from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.1 second ones. Consumptions? A lot reduced: Hyundai declares one medium of 4.5 covered liters of every diesel oil 100 km.
