Hyundai introduced the Getz MPV in the mini segment in 2001 at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The small car was available in a three-door or a five-door body style.

Depending on the market, the Hyundai Getz was also sold as the Hyundai Click or Hyundai TB.

While the MPV segment was declining, Hyundai tried to make its way into the small-sized minivans’ niche market with the Getz. When it launched the vehicle, it hoped that the customers who were looking for a compact-sized vehicle would appreciate their car’s interior room and the small exterior size.

Based on the same platform as the Kia Picanto and Hyundai Accent, the Getz was in the middle between a small-segment hatchback and a minivan. Its raked hood and windshield were continued by a flat roof and a vertical tailgate. The angular-looking headlights were designed in the new-edge-design style, with corner-mounted turn-signals and clear lenses.

With most small dents happening in the parking lot, Hyundai protected the Getz’s bodywork with black, plastic molds on the sides and the bumpers.

Inside, due to its tall greenhouse, Hyundai’s designers installed higher seats to provide better legroom for the rear passengers.

Under the hood, Hyundai installed a choice of four engines, both diesel, and gasoline-powered, all mated with a manual transmission. No automatic transmission was offered in 2002.
