Hyundai Getz Export from Korea: Prices, Specs & Buyer's Guide (2026)
A used Hyundai Getz exported from Korea costs between $1,200 and $4,500 FOB, making it one of the cheapest ways to import a factory left-hand-drive Korean car. Sold in its home market as the Click and built on the TB platform from 2002 to 2011, the Getz is a B-segment subcompact hatchback with 1.4L and 1.6L petrol engines, an optional 1.5 CRDi diesel, and the low running costs of a car that shares parts with the Hyundai Accent (Verna).
Because Korea builds every Getz/Click in LHD from the factory, it drops straight into Central Asian, North African and Middle Eastern markets with no conversion — a decisive edge over right-hand-drive Japanese subcompacts. This guide covers the full Hyundai Getz export from Korea picture: TB generations, FOB pricing bands, the petrol-versus-diesel choice, and — critically for a car this age — which markets still allow it. New to importing? Start with our complete buying guide. SH GLOBAL Co., Ltd. sources directly from Korean auctions, so you can explore current Hyundai inventory at prices 10–15% below typical dealer markups.
Why the Hyundai Getz Is Still a Smart Export Buy
The Hyundai Getz occupies a niche most Korean exports have priced themselves out of: a genuinely usable modern car for well under $5,000 FOB. While buyers with bigger budgets move to the Hyundai i30 or a compact sedan, the Getz remains the entry rung — the car of choice for first-time owners, taxi and ride-share operators, and dealers stocking the most affordable slot on the lot across West Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East.
The Getz is available for export from about $1,200 FOB at the pre-facelift end, making it the cheapest modern Korean hatchback SH GLOBAL ships. It shares its 1.4/1.6 Alpha petrol engines with millions of Accent/Verna units, so the parts pool is deep and inexpensive in all three of our target regions. Roughly 8 in 10 export Getz/Click cars are petrol, with the 1.5 CRDi diesel making up the rest.
Key advantages for export buyers:
- Left-hand drive (LHD) from the factory — compatible with the entire Middle East, most of Africa, and all of Central Asia, unlike RHD Japanese subcompacts
- Lowest entry cost of any modern Korean car — from about $1,200 FOB
- Shared parts with the Accent/Verna — the same Alpha engines and many common components keep maintenance costs rock-bottom
- Simple, tough mechanicals — naturally aspirated petrol engines and a 4-speed automatic that workshops everywhere understand
- Excellent fuel economy — ideal for taxi and city duty, especially the 1.5 CRDi diesel
- 3-door and 5-door bodies — the 5-door dominates export demand
Hyundai Getz / Click Generations & Specs (TB)
The Hyundai Getz ran a single generation (project code TB) from 2002 to 2011, with one major facelift. Knowing the split between pre-facelift and facelift cars helps you target the right price band and the freshest available stock.
| Phase | Years | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| TB pre-facelift | 2002–2005 | Original Getz/Click; 1.4/1.6 petrol, 1.5 CRDi diesel; 3-dr & 5-dr |
| TB facelift | 2006–2008 | Revised nose & interior; improved refinement and safety kit |
| TB final years | 2009–2011 | Last Korean Click stock; freshest cars, best for age limits |
Internationally the car wore the Getz badge, while its home Korean market called it the Click. They are the same vehicle — so when browsing Korean stock you will see Click listings for the car exported worldwide as the Getz. In some markets it was also sold as the Getz Prime or TB.
| Spec (typical TB) | Detail |
|---|---|
| Body / platform | B-segment subcompact hatch, FWD, 3-dr & 5-dr |
| Length | ~3,825–3,880 mm |
| Petrol engines | 1.4L Alpha (~95 hp), 1.6L Alpha (~105 hp) |
| Diesel engine | 1.5L CRDi turbo-diesel (~110 hp) |
| Transmission | 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic |
| Seating | 5 passengers |
| Successor | Replaced globally by the i20; Click discontinued in Korea 2011 |
Hyundai Getz FOB Prices from Korea (2026)
FOB (Free on Board) prices include the vehicle, Korean domestic transport, export inspection, and port handling at Busan or Incheon. The following Hyundai Getz price from Korea ranges reflect SH GLOBAL's current export pricing as of August 2026. Because the Getz is a mature model, condition and mileage move the price far more than the model year.
| Phase / Year | Mileage Range | FOB Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-facelift (2002–2005) | 140,000–230,000 km | $1,200–$2,500 |
| Facelift (2006–2008) | 110,000–190,000 km | $1,800–$3,200 |
| Final years (2009–2011) | 90,000–170,000 km | $2,500–$4,500 |
| 1.5 CRDi diesel (any year) | varies | +$300–$900 premium |
Getz FOB Price by Phase
Price Modifiers
Several factors shift the Getz FOB price up or down from the base ranges above:
| Factor | Impact on FOB Price |
|---|---|
| 1.5 CRDi diesel engine | +$300–$900 |
| 4-speed automatic transmission | +$200–$600 |
| Under 110,000 km | +$400–$1,000 |
| Clean accident-free auction grade | +$300–$700 |
| Air-conditioning fully serviced | +$100–$300 |
A facelift 1.4 petrol 5-door (2006–2008) at roughly $2,200–$3,000 FOB gives you the freshest looks and safety kit of the range while staying deep in budget territory. It is the configuration SH GLOBAL recommends for most value-focused Hyundai Getz export from Korea buyers, with a final-year 2009–2011 car worth the step up where an age limit is tight.
Engine Options: Petrol vs 1.5 CRDi Diesel
The Getz keeps things simple, which is exactly why it thrives in export markets. There are two petrol choices and one diesel, all easy to service and cheap to feed.
1.4L Alpha Petrol (~95 hp)
The volume export engine — inexpensive to buy, frugal at roughly 6.5 L/100km, and simple enough for any workshop. It is the pragmatic pick for city driving, taxi duty and markets with limited diesel infrastructure.
1.6L Alpha Petrol (~105 hp)
A little more pull for hills and loaded driving, with only a small fuel-economy penalty. Worth seeking out for hillier terrain or buyers who want the strongest petrol Getz.
1.5L CRDi Turbo-Diesel (~110 hp)
The economy champion at around 4.5–5.0 L/100km, with strong low-end torque for highway or loaded running. Ideal for long-distance buyers and markets with high fuel prices, though diesel Getz/Click cars are much rarer in the used pool and command a premium.
Getz Engine Range at a Glance
For most SH GLOBAL customers the 1.4 petrol is the smart buy — cheaper to acquire, simpler to fix, and easy to fuel anywhere. Choose the 1.5 CRDi diesel only if fuel prices are high and you drive long distances daily; the extra torque and economy then pay back the premium.
Hyundai Getz vs Accent vs Kia Rio vs i20
Buyers shopping the budget end usually weigh the Getz against a few close relatives and rivals. Here is a quick decision table.
| Feature | Getz / Click (TB) | Accent / Verna | Kia Rio / Pride | i20 (successor) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body type | Subcompact hatch | Subcompact sedan/hatch | Subcompact sedan/hatch | Subcompact hatch |
| Best market fit | Cheapest LHD car, taxi | Taxi & fleet sedan | Budget sedan/hatch | Newer age-limit markets |
| Signature engine | 1.4/1.6 petrol, 1.5 CRDi | 1.4/1.6 petrol, 1.5 CRDi | 1.4/1.6 petrol | 1.2/1.4 petrol, 1.4 CRDi |
| Typical FOB | $1,200–$4,500 | $2,000–$9,000 | $1,800–$8,000 | $4,000–$12,000 |
| Age of newest cars | ~2011 (older) | Current model on sale | Current model on sale | Newer than Getz |
Verdict: choose the Getz when the goal is the lowest possible price on a running LHD Korean car and your market has no strict age limit. Step to the Accent (Verna) if you need a booted sedan for taxi and fleet duty, or the Kia Rio (Pride) for a close budget alternative. If your country enforces a tight age window, the newer i20 or a current-generation subcompact is the safer route. All share Hyundai/Kia's low-cost small-car parts network.
Age Restrictions: Where the Hyundai Getz Still Qualifies
This is the single most important check for a Getz buyer. As of 2026 the newest Getz is about 15 years old, so it is excluded from many markets that cap vehicle age at first registration.
A 2002–2011 Getz will not clear strict 3–5-year markets (the GCC, Egypt) or most 8-year markets (Kenya). Buying before you confirm eligibility is the most common — and costly — mistake on an older car. Read our Korean used car age restriction guide and verify with your local customs before you order.
| Market Type | Getz Eligible? | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| No passenger age limit | Yes — ideal fit | Much of West & Central Africa, several trade channels |
| Generous limit (12–15 yr) | Sometimes (late cars only) | Selected markets — confirm the exact year |
| 8-year limit | No | Kenya and similar East African rules |
| 3–5-year limit | No | GCC, Egypt |
The takeaway: the Getz is a specialist for no-age-limit and very-generous-limit markets. Where it qualifies, nothing matches its price; where it does not, SH GLOBAL will steer you to a newer subcompact instead.
Best Getz Configurations by Export Region
Different markets have different needs. Here are SH GLOBAL's recommendations, based on our experience exporting to 50+ countries across three continents.
West & Central Africa (no-age-limit markets)
- Recommended: 1.4 petrol 5-door, manual
- Why: no age limit means the cheapest running Getz makes sense; petrol is easy to fuel and fix; the 5-door serves taxi and family duty
- FOB range: $1,200–$3,000
- More detail: see our Africa export guide for port, duty and clearance notes
Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan)
- Recommended: facelift or final-year 1.4/1.6 petrol, automatic if budget allows
- Why: strong demand for a cheap first car; Hyundai brand recognition and parts supply are excellent; confirm EAEU-side requirements before ordering
- FOB range: $2,000–$4,500
- More detail: read our Central Asia export guide for tariff and certification notes
Middle East budget & diaspora trade (Iraq, Libya, Egypt channels)
- Recommended: cleanest available 1.6 petrol or 1.5 CRDi diesel
- Why: LHD suits the whole region; the diesel appeals where distances are long — but confirm each market's age rule, as several exclude a car this old
- FOB range: $1,800–$4,500
- Age note: check eligibility with our vehicle history and eligibility check guide before you commit
How to Buy a Used Hyundai Getz from Korea
The Getz follows the standard Korean used car export process. Through SH GLOBAL it runs in seven steps, explained fully in our step-by-step buying process guide.
Step 1: Browse & Select — search available Getz/Click units in SH GLOBAL's Hyundai inventory and filter by year, engine and mileage.
Step 2: Request Quote — contact SH GLOBAL for an FOB or CIF quote covering the car, inspection, transport and port handling.
Step 3: Inspection — SH GLOBAL conducts a 150-point inspection with HD photos and a video walkthrough. On an older car this is where value is won or lost — you review the condition report before committing.
Step 4: Payment — secure payment via international wire transfer (T/T). A 10–30% deposit holds the vehicle, with the balance due before shipping.
Step 5: Export Processing — SH GLOBAL handles all Korean-side paperwork: export declaration, de-registration, customs clearance and port delivery at Busan or Incheon.
Step 6: Shipping — choose Ro-Ro or container based on your destination and volume; consolidating several Getz in one container cuts per-car freight.
Step 7: Delivery & Customs — the vehicle arrives with the full document set — Bill of Lading (B/L), commercial invoice, export declaration and de-registration certificate — needed for clearance in your country.
Inspection & Common Issues to Check
The Hyundai Getz is a durable, low-fuss car, but at 15+ years old, condition is everything. SH GLOBAL's 150-point inspection covers all of the following:
- Rust & underbody — the top priority on any car this age; check sills, wheel arches and the boot floor
- 1.5 CRDi diesel — inspect the turbo, injectors and general smoke; well-maintained examples are strong, neglected ones are costly
- 4-speed automatic — confirm smooth shifts; check fluid condition and for any slipping under load
- Suspension & bushings — high-mileage cars often need control-arm bushings and shocks; cheap parts, useful for price negotiation
- Air-conditioning — verify it blows cold, a must for Middle East and African markets
- History & mileage — cross-check the odometer against Korean records; see our vehicle history check guide
Every inspection includes HD photos and a video walkthrough sent to the buyer before any payment commitment. If the vehicle condition differs from the report upon arrival, SH GLOBAL's pre-shipment guarantee covers the discrepancy. Our multilingual team (Arabic, English, Korean) is available to walk you through the report in detail — especially valuable on an older car like the Getz.
Getz Total Landed Cost: FOB to Your Port
Your FOB price is only part of the picture. To budget accurately for a Hyundai Getz export from Korea, add ocean freight, marine insurance, and destination-side duties and clearance. The table below shows a worked example for a $2,500 FOB facelift petrol Getz — figures are indicative and vary by port and current freight rates.
| Cost Component | West Africa (Tema/Lagos, container share) | Central Asia (via Poti/rail) |
|---|---|---|
| FOB (vehicle + Korean-side costs) | $2,500 | $2,500 |
| Ocean freight (container share) | $800–$1,300 | $1,400–$2,200 |
| Marine insurance (~1.5%) | ~$50 | ~$60 |
| Estimated CIF | ~$3,400 | ~$4,100 |
| Destination duty/tax (varies) | Country-specific | Country-specific |
SH GLOBAL provides an all-inclusive CIF quote on request so you can compare like-for-like against local supply. Destination duty depends on your country's tariff, engine displacement and vehicle age — the Getz's small 1.4–1.6L engines keep displacement-based duty low, though older-car penalties apply in some markets. Our regional guides for Africa and Central Asia break down the duty structures country by country. According to KAMA (Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association), Hyundai remains Korea's largest passenger-car exporter, which underpins the Getz's deep used supply and parts availability; trade-flow data from KITA (Korea International Trade Association) and duty rules from the Korea Customs Service round out the picture.
