The diminutive Hyundai Getz hatchback may be all but gone from our roads – it went off sale in 2011 – but in the early 2000s it helped Hyundai to mark its place in the Australian market, thanks to a pricing strategy that saw it fall to as low as $3,990.
In 2005, for example, almost half the cars sold by Hyundai were variants of the Getz, which has was replaced by the Accent and (now discontinued) i20. With the launch of the Accent, Hyundai started to move away from low water mark pricing, but the Getz - with prices ranging from from $3,990 for the Getz S to $9,999 for the Getz S - certainly helped it climb the sales ladder.
This vehicle is also known as Hyundai Click (South Korea), Hyundai Getz Prime (India), Hyundai TB (Japan), Dodge Brisa (Venezuela), Inokom Getz (Malaysia).
