Click here to write a review about the Hyundai Getz

The Hyundai Getz 1.5 CRTD has won the Transport for London Private Sector Award at the 2006 GreenFleet Awards.  The Hyundai Getz had been put through a testing 30-mile journey across central London to win the award, finishing second in the 2006 GreenFleet Capital Fuel Challenge, hosted by the London Borough of Camden.

The Getz 1.5 diesel beat off three hybrids, two biodiesel engines and another diesel to come second overall in the economy drive event.

The results clearly demonstrate that a Hyundai diesel engine can be as economical as a hybrid engine if driven correctly. 

Spencer Freedman from GreenFleet said: “This was a real world test, which highlights the environmental and cost benefits of choosing the right vehicle to get around London.  The success of the Hyundai Getz demonstrates that clean diesel engines, if driven defensively, can be just as cost and fuel efficient as alternative fuelled vehicles.”

Hyundai Getz crtdx: have owned this car from new now has done 10,000 miles and averages 52mpg around town driven sympathetically.
Kept under 60 on a run will return 60-65 mpg, if driven with some 'spirit' these values drop and this car will 'go' if given some right footaction .Have driven to Crete over Alps etc and would recommend reliability and climbing ability etc all round good to great little car!
