Model History and Safety Features
The tested model of HYUNDAI GETZ was introduced in
Australia during 2002.
The tested vehicle had a driver airbag and no passenger airbag.
From late 2003 dual front airbags have become standard
equipment but this does not affect the overall score since the
worst of driver and passenger injury measurements is used in the
scoring process.
The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the
upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of
the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to
reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is
fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than
a two point seat belt.
OVERALL EVALUATION : 3 Stars
The HYUNDAI GETZ scored 9.6 out of 16 in the offset crash
test. The passenger compartment held its shape well except for
footwell intrusion. Protection from serious leg injury was
marginal…
