Used Car Safety Report
The Hyundai Getz has been awarded a 1 star Driver Protection rating in the latest Used Car Safety Rating (UCSR) report. UCSR are reported annually by the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC). Ratings are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police in Australia and New Zealand and provide a very high level of confidence. The UCSR report classifies cars according to where their rating lies in relation to a best performance benchmark. The Driver Protection rating measures the relative safety of cars in preventing serious injury to their own drivers in crashes.

The tested model of HYUNDAI GETZ was introduced in Australia during 2002.
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 for the driver.
The vehicle scored 12.18 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. There was a moderate risk of serious chest injury for the driver.
Safety Feature Summary
The safety feature information below is subject to change without notice. For up to date safety feature specifications for all variants, please see the safety feature table to the right or contact the manufacturer.
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.

The passenger compartment held its shape well except that the front part of the driver's floor was pushed rearwards 188mm. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 121mm and upwards 48mm, relative to the driver’s seat. The dash moved 88mm towards the driver. The steering wheel hub moved rearwards 60mm, upwards 67mm and sideways 8mm, relative to the driver’s seat. The front ("A") pillar moved 69mm rearwards. The width of the driver's doorway shortened by 63mm. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash high manual effort was required to open the driver's door.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. Steering column components were a potential source of injury for the driver's knees. There were no passenger head strikes.

The vehicle was not eligible for a Pole Impact Test since it did not have head-protecting side airbags. This test can earn eligible vehicles an extra two points.
Pedestrian Summary
A separate pedestrian impact test is conducted. This test estimates injuries to pedestrians struck by a vehicle travelling at 40 km/h. The more stars the better (maximum 4 stars).
Pedestrian Rating Explained
The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) provides consumers with independent and transparent information on the level of occupant and pedestrian protection provided by different new car models, in the most common types of crashes, through its star rating program.
