Used Hyundai Getz for sale in Europe

About the Hyundai Getz

The Hyundai Getz is a small hatchback that Hyundai sold in Europe from 2002. It is a supermini built for city driving and simple, low-cost ownership. It was offered as a three-door and a five-door hatchback, with a tall roofline that gives decent headroom for its size.

Petrol engines ranged from roughly 1.1 to 1.6 litres, and there was a 1.5-litre common-rail turbodiesel. Most cars have a five-speed manual gearbox. A four-speed automatic was offered on some versions. Engine choice and equipment differ by country, so compare listings carefully.

The Getz suits drivers who want an inexpensive second car, a first car or a town runabout. Our listings also include LPG cars, which are often aftermarket conversions. Because the cars are now old, condition and service history matter more than the badge or the exact model year.

Generations

• First generation (2002-2011) — The only generation of the Getz, sold as a three-door and five-door hatchback with petrol and diesel engines.
• Facelift (2005-2011) — A mid-life update brought revised front and rear styling and some interior changes to the same basic car.

Typical prices

Asking prices for the Getz in our listings are low and sit in a narrow band. The median is €1700, and the middle half of listings falls between €1300 and €2500. Model year explains less than you might expect. For example, 2004 cars have a median of €2000, but several later years sit close to the overall median. Mileage, condition, fuel type, service history and the country of sale probably explain most of the spread. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Hyundai Getz

Inspect the car in daylight, start it from cold and take a test drive that includes town driving and a faster road. Ask to see the service book and any invoices.

• Service history and paperwork

  Look for regular servicing with dated invoices and a consistent mileage record. On a car of this age, a full history is a better sign than a low odometer reading alone. Check that the documents match the car's identification number.

• Timing belt record · Engines with a timing belt

  Ask when the timing belt, and the water pump if replaced with it, were last changed. The correct interval is in the handbook or from a Hyundai workshop. If there is no proof of a recent change, allow for doing it soon.

• Diesel smoke and turbo · 1.5 CRDi diesel

  Check for heavy smoke under load, hard cold starting, uneven idle and any whistling from the turbo. Ask whether the injectors, EGR valve or turbo have been repaired. A diesel is worth a closer look if it has done mostly short trips.

• LPG conversion checks · LPG versions

  Find out who fitted the system and ask for the conversion papers and the latest inspection. Check the gas tank for its date and condition, listen for hissing, and make sure the car runs smoothly on both petrol and gas.

• Rust and bodywork

  Look at sills, wheel arches, door bottoms and the underbody, especially on cars from regions where roads are salted. Mismatched paint or uneven panel gaps can point to past accident repairs. Check the boot floor and spare wheel well for damp.

• Automatic shift quality · Automatic gearbox

  On automatic cars, check that the gearbox engages promptly and changes gear smoothly, without flaring or jerking. Ask whether the gearbox fluid has ever been changed, and check for leaks under the car after the test drive.
