The Hyundai Getz Prime is an idyllic combination of looks and power. At the heart of this car lies the wonderful 12 V, 4-cylinder SOCH engine. This 1.3 litre technological marvel delivers remarkable power of 82.9 PS at 5500 rpm. Actually, it practical terms, it is the comfort of the Getz and the engine of the Santro that make up the Getz prime.
The Hyundai Getz Prime offers a five speed manual transmission that requires lesser shifting effort consequently presenting smaller amount of gear sticking. The Getz is also equipped with exceptional braking technology and optional Anti Lock Brake System (ABS) technology that is able to cope up with sudden braking situations while preventing locking of skidding of the vehicle.

I have got the delivery of my new Getz Prime on 23 October. It was pretty difficult for me to part from Palio GTX which I have been using for more than 5 years. There are few things I liked about Getz compared to Palio like ample space, number of slots for regular items (water bottles, wallets, bags, keys, mobiles, portable ashtray etc)., properly positioned handrest for the left hand side seaters, smooth and superior suspensions, less radius turning, tiltable steering, little higher position of the driver vision, great pickup, finger tips are enough to change the gears, flat dashboard, and comfortable seats. There are also some points that the body rolling on rough roads and small potholes in city roads, pickup is less than Palio and delivery takes 3-4 weeks.
Hey there, I am writing from Chandigarh, where we just got this beauty after waiting for a bit and also arguing within the family which car we should really go for. After a few rounds at various showrooms we settled for the Hyundai Getz prime. The looks are that of a hatchback, but once you are inside the car, it really feels like a Sedan.
About the Getz, I was not sure how the engine would perform, but once I put my foot on the accelerator, the engine revved up nicely and gave me the impression of a sure performer. The storage space in the boot is really excellent, and the rear seat can adequately seat three people.
We've got the GLX petrol. It's really great with all the top level features. What I liked best about the car was its extremely smooth suspension. The car did not take up much effort in turning and also has a very small turning radius.
The engine is also very responsive, and a combination of proper gear use (very smooth on this variant) and the accelerator can give a good performance on the highway and even in city driving conditions. All in all, the Hyundai Getz Prime is a good buy and great value for money!
