Kathmandu, March 7:

Hyundai’s European-styled Getz goes on sale in Nepal from March 2006 that benefits the customers with significant revisions, both inside and outside the car.

The clean good looks of the previous model has been retained, while Hyundai’s designers have succeeded in bringing subtle yet significant styling changes, says a press statement received here. The front of the care has been transformed with clear, wrap-around headlamps and black bumper inserts, which give the car a clearer, sportier appearance.

A new 1.4 litre petrol engine, to replace the previous 1.3 unit, also marks a step forward in terms of technology, further improving environmental efficiency. The four valves per cylinder unit complete with continuous variable valve timing (CVVT), deliver 97 PS (96bhp) and returns up to 47 mpg on the official Combined Cycle with five speed manual transmission.

There are new colours to choose from as well. Customers can choose from Metallic Sky Blue and Space Silver and Midnight Grey Mica, Hip-Hop Red and Ebony Black.
