Full Review

At 6.6 lacs on road in Bangalore this becomes overpriced. Especially when following things are missing at 6.6 lacs:

1. Rear Wash Wiper

2. Alloy Wheels

3. Tubeless Tyres

4. Front Fog Lights

5. Radio/Player

 

Definitely performance would be good. However a diesel hatch back is preferred along with VFM. I guess a compromise with a smaller CRDI engine for availing these (now missing) facilities would have been preferable.

Hi ALL Now that the Price of CRDI has reduced to on road Rs5.88Lac (Bangalore) any suggestion that i should not go for this brute (Raw powered engine)?. I hasve been hunting for desiel Engine my finalist were Swift LDI & INDIGO CS Dicore now that the GETZ CRDI reduced prices below 6lac I am confussed. Will GETZ CRDI will be high on maitance cost after two years?. Appriciate a valuable feed back. Cheers Chandan

Hi all i'm prasanth from alappuzha, kerala. Every one is complaining that the package. Before saying that one must understand that the engine in getz is the same as in Verna. The cost of the engine is the main cause for the overall price. The company is having less profit on the car, even lower than that of i10. No other car in this or other segments is providing this much high adrenaline power. Mileage also is around 20-23 km/lt. "Kuch pane ke liye kuch khona padtha hai".. Enjoy..

i agree with the fellow reviewers, the price need to be revisited also for this power an ABS,EBD is a must and hyundai didnt gv that even an option is bad. we request please revist atleast this two and then the 6 months wait will be for this car not for swift.

In gujarat it cost 6.2 lacks yet it is missing basic fetures like Airbags, ABS-EBD & Tubless Tyres which are must in Todays Time. If it provides all remaining fetures then it will be the best cars in its Segment & can left behind others car.

Moyyed Bhinderwala: The power is amazing but pricing is very high compare to other segment diesel variant hyundai need to rework on pricing level otherwise this car wont click in the market, many thing are missing the package is not perfectly balanced.

Indian customers are an intelligent lot.They are quick to do their sums and are not easily swayed by the so called brand value etc.This car is immensely overpriced and Hyundai need to rework their pricing strategy

I test drove the car.. The power is amazing. The mileage, if you want to believe the executive..is unbelievable! I also felt at that price it is slightly underloaded. The breaks are just okay.. Could be risky if you allow that monster of an engine under the hood to strech its legs fully! Good car.. But not so good packaging..
