The Hyundai Getz (also sold as the Hyundai Click in South Korea and Syria, Hyundai Getz Prime in India, Hyundai TB in Japan, Inokom Getz in Malaysia, Dodge Brisa in Venezuela) is a supermini car produced by the Hyundai Motor Company, sold in most of the world except the U.S. or Canada. It is available in three- and five-door hatchback body styles, and with a 4-speed automatic transmission or 5-speed manual transmission.
Despite the presence of its successors, the i20 in Europe and Accent WIT in South Korea, the Getz is still being sold worldwide.

At the Getz's launch in 2002, 1.3 and 1.5-litre petrol or 1.5-litre turbodiesel engines were available. From 2004, a new 1.1 litre engine was introduced to the line and a 1.4 litre engine replaced the 1.3 litre. A 1.6 litre engine replaced the 1.5 litre. However, availability of engine options varies depending on market.
The 1.6 litre gasoline engine is unavailable in New Zealand, as well as some countries in Southeast Asia and South America.

In late-2008, a fully electric version of the car was introduced in New Zealand and Australia. This model has a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) and a range of 120 kilometres (75 mi) on a full charge.[2][3]
A facelift for the 2006 model saw the Getz receiving a 4 cylinder 1.5 litre diesel option and also a 4 cylinder 16 Valve 1.4 litre engine that develops 107 hp (80 kW) , upgraded dash and interior fascia and trim, new front and rear styling, driver and front passenger air bags. Many motorists have compared the Click's redesign to the visual appearance of the Peugeot 307. In the UK, air conditioning and side airbags were fitted to all models as standard equipment. This facelifted model, however, is not offered in Venezuela (where it is sold as the Dodge Brisa); instead, the local arm of Hyundai continues to sell the pre-2006 model.[4]
Trim levels in the UK for the Getz are GSi, CDX and Sport, in New Zealand the trim levels are XD and XE.
In Australia, the trim levels were XL (base model - 1.3), GL (base model - 1.5) & FX (sports model - 1.5) from 2002-05. When the Getz received it's first facelift in 2005, the FX was replaced by the sporty SXi, while the XL & GL names were dropped and just referred to as "Getz". Half-way through 2006, due to disappointing sales, the SXi was dropped, leaving just the base Getz with the option of 1.4 or 1.6-litre engines. In early 2007, the Getz 1.4 was renamed "S", and the 1.6 was renamed "SX".
A special trim level called the Cross features SUV design elements such as extended wheel arches, roof rack, raised suspension and larger wheels.[5]
In Venezuela, the Getz is badge-engineered as the Dodge Brisa in its 1.3 litre, 4-speed manual transmission configuration. This new model replaces the Accent-based Brisa that debuted in that market in April 2002. As of 2007, Hyundai is marketing the Getz in Venezuela under the Hyundai brand, but continues to build the 1.3 litre model for the Brisa. To differentiate from the Brisa, the Venezuelan model retains its pre-2006 design.
In Malaysia, the Getz is locally assembled as the Inokom Getz. The model offers both manual and automatic transmission with a single 1.4 litre petrol engine option.[6]
In the last quarter of 2009, Inokom launched a limited edition Getz SE, which featured leather interior, sporty body kit and grill and side mirrors with indicators. Only 300 units of this variant were produced.
Reflecting market priorities and price point control, some safety equipment is either unavailable or available only as extra-cost options on some models in some markets. The South African and Philippine market versions, for example, are not available with side airbags at any price and make do without a rear fog light or a third three-point seatbelt on the rear seat. In the Philippines and South America, the Getz is not fitted with airbags or ABS brakes as standard equipment.
In Australia, the 2002-04 Getz was assessed in the 2006 Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) as providing "significantly worse than average" protection for its occupants in the event of a crash.[7]
Conversely, the car was awarded a respectable 4 stars (out of five) in its 2004 Euro NCAP and 2008 Australasian NCAP (ANCAP)[8] crash tests. It turned in what Euro NCAP described as a "reasonably balanced performance" and "generally good" in-car protection for children. It was noted, however, that the design of the car did little to protect pedestrians.[9]
In late 2008, the i20 was introduced, replacing the Getz in most markets. In Europe, the Getz co-existed with the i20 until it was completely phased out in 2011. The Getz continued to be sold in the Australian market until December 2010.[10]
In mid-2011, the Click was replaced in the South Korean market by the Hyundai Accent WIT. In Japan, where it was known as the TB, the car was discontinued shortly before Hyundai officially announced the departure of its passenger car division from the market in late-2009. In India, the car was discontinued due to falling demand as compared to the warm response received by the i20 and the introduction of the new Euro 4 emission norms from May 2010.
The Getz continues to be sold in Colombia, Venezuela, Egypt, South Africa, Malaysia, Vietnam and parts of the Middle East.
