Getz clearance ground clearance. Specifications Hyundai Getz. Engine and related features

Hyundai Getz ground clearance or clearance as for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence that makes Russian motorists interested in Hyundai Getz clearance and the possibility of increasing ground clearance using spacers.

To begin with, it's worth honestly saying that real ground clearance Hyundai Getz may seriously differ from that declared by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method of measurement and the place of measurement of the ground clearance. So find out real situation affairs can only be done by yourself armed with a tape measure or a ruler. Official clearance Hyundai Getz is only 135 mm... Saves the situation only the compact size of the car itself and small overhangs in the front and rear.

Some manufacturers go for the trick and declare the size of the ground clearance in an "empty" car, but in real life we ​​have a full trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and a driver. That is, in a loaded car, the clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people have in mind is the age of the car and the wear and tear of the springs, their "subsidence" from old age. The issue is solved by installing new springs or buying spacers under sagging springs Hyundai Getz... The spacers allow you to compensate for the spring sag and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the curb plays an important role.

But do not get carried away with the "lift" of the Hyundai Getz's ground clearance, because the spacers to increase the clearance are focused only on the springs. If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the travel of which is often very limited, then self-modernization of the suspension can lead to loss of control and damage to the shock absorbers. In terms of cross-country ability, large ground clearance in our harsh conditions this is good, but at high speeds on the track and in corners, there is a serious buildup and additional body roll.

To increase ground clearance on the Hyundai Getz, spacers for springs (or elongated springs) are used, and the so-called "houses" or "heels" are used to compensate for the length of the shock absorber rod. This metal spacer allows you to raise rear shock absorber a little higher. What does a homemade spacer look like for Hyundai getz can be seen in the next photo.

There is even a video.

The result is a pretty decent ground clearance. See the result of the suspension lift below in the photo.

When designing a suspension and choosing the amount of ground clearance, any car manufacturer is looking for a middle ground between handling and cross-country ability. Perhaps the easiest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase clearance is to install wheels with “high” tires. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase the ground clearance by another centimeter. Do not forget that a major change in ground clearance can damage Hyundai Getz CV joints. After all, "grenades" will have to work from a slightly different angle. But this only applies to the front axle. At the back, attention should be paid to the length of the brake hoses.

I will not grovel a lot, I will tell you more briefly and specifically, without soap operas.

Getz - the machine is good, but has a number of its drawbacks along with positive qualities... I bought a car in the summer of 2008 and at the moment (10/20/09) I have already wound 30,000 km - TO2 is ahead, Getz 1.6 automatic transmission equipment. Everything is in order, the car is absolutely on the move, but there was one warranty repair - the sensor responsible for automatic switching speeds. For two days I went to the third one constantly, and then passed it to the service. Repaired everything under warranty, but an important fact for the reader of this review will be the words of the software manager warranty repair v official salon: "... You know, this happens with many Getses, this is a factory defect, we are often contacted with this breakdown ...". In all other respects, the car has no wild and serious complaints in a year of driving.

Disadvantages:

Of course, there were "crickets" - the plastic interior affects, the torpedo creaks, the right front door and something behind, and could not identify what.

The suspension is harsh, it is good when you fully feel the turn (you often have to feel, I drive 120-140 km / h a lot, since the track allows), but still I would like more compensation for bumps and potholes, moving, then you will really be thrilled and shaken. So when choosing this car, take a test drive and take a ride on the rails, immediately decide whether you need it or not.

Noise isolation is lame, at high speed there is a hum in the cabin, loud music, of course, fixes everything.

Now about the music: my radio tape recorder is not the most authoritative, but still the volume and bass are normal, and these very basses so really shattered the plastic on the door (in the door of the speaker) that now the plastic on the door began to rattle during playback. In short, those who love R "n" B, electronic music and other bass compositions - get ready for extraneous sounds.

Now a little about high-speed behavior: at the start of the Getz 1.6, the automatic transmission is, of course, good, up to 90 km / h rushing is excellent when the trigger is actively pressed, but then the strength ends, all agility stops at a speed of 100 km / h, sharp changes and overtaking by such a speed must be carried out well prepared and thought over, and the downshift button (and there is one) is not particularly effective here.

The luggage carrier "kick-ass" is too small, you can go to hypermarkets, but, for example, I drove for winter wheels and had to put a couple of wheels into the salon. Well, as they say, the car is not designed for large-scale transportation.

Consumption: I drive constantly from the Moscow region to Moscow (~ 45 km one way), there is a highway and traffic jams along the way, while the consumption is 9.3 liters / 100 km. Here is such a small machine !!! I don’t know if it’s an imperfection or a submachine gun so hawala, but the fact is with such an expense on the face.

The rear wiper is not very well thought out - it has only one operating mode and it is NOT with a delay, but with a constant movement of the wiper. Personally, I would like it to move with a delay, with a fast one.

Of the advantages:

Small dimensions: I can park anywhere, and most importantly, turns can be done on such small areas that it will take your breath away;

Decent ground clearance (ground clearance). I can climb decent bardyurs, even this surprised me, I thought it would be worse. It happens, of course, I strike the crankcase, but this is when I become completely impudent with the height. In the village and on the river all the bumps were subdued;

The distance for the legs of the rear passengers is normal, of course, you won't be able to stretch out, but you won't have to sit with your ears propped up on your knees;

Convenient shelf under the steering wheel, the drain of unnecessary things fits there, uh ...;

When the air conditioner is on, the power drops, but the car still remains a maneuverable zinger. By the way, this also applies to full cabin when there are 5 people in the car. Sitting five of us is not very comfortable (as in many cars), but the car does not lose its maneuverability.

Well, in general, probably so. In terms of price / quality, the car has a solid top five. The cost of the car corresponds to the shortcomings that exist. Most of them are not particularly annoying, but there are some that I would like to exclude (I personally do not like the stiffer suspension and rear wiper). 30,000 km is already a significant mileage for a car of this class and, as they say, it has not pumped up yet (with the exception of a factory defect, but there are such cars in top-end cars). Personal opinion - satisfied, although the car was bought with a wife in mind. I go myself and with pleasure.

• Goats ass on bumps and waves on the track, afraid of rut with a regular size. Consumption is not a runabout. Clearance too small for snowdrifts, especially when installing protection.

Little clearance almost any ride on a track leads to the fact that the protection presses the engine mount and vibration appears. Consumption 10-12 liters ... in a city with a condender
• Short clearance
• short clearance, high fuel consumption
• Rigid suspension Small clearance
• clearance smallish.
• Little clearance
• Short clearance, low-power
• Small clearance.
• poor interior ventilation, low clearance
• small clearance
• Weak suspension, small clearance... No air conditioner
• small clearance.
• Small clearance... thin metal case.
• Short clearance and the engine on the machine with the included condenser barely pulls
• Clearance too small, native speakers are lousy.
• small clearance.
• Small trunk, low clearance.
• Not high clearance, relatively high consumption for such a car, a weak paintwork.
• Behind, there is either a shelf, or something in the trunk lid ... in general, there is something in the back. Short clearance, especially if a crankcase guard is installed.

The Hyundai Getz's ground clearance is the distance between the road and the lowest part of the car. To be more precise, the clearance is considered, according to the factory standards, from the threshold vehicle to the road. Ground clearance directly affects the vehicle's aerodynamics as well as streamlining.

Clearance

The Hyundai Getz's ground clearance is 135 mm. But be careful when leaving on vacation or returning with purchases: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance.

If desired, the clearance of any car can be increased using spacers for shock absorbers. The car will get higher. However, it will lose its former stability at high speeds and will lose a lot in maneuverability. The clearance can be reduced, for this, as a rule, it is enough to replace standard shock absorbers for tuning: handling and stability will please you immediately.

Methods for increasing ground clearance

Since the road surface on the territory of the CIS countries, basically, leaves much to be desired, pits and bumps, many Goetz owners are trying to increase the clearance height in order to avoid damage to the protective elements of the body, such as bumpers and door sills. This can be done in several ways. The most common are the installation of spacers or springs with shock absorbers. Let's consider both options.

Spacers

Spacers are rubber-metal plates that are inserted between the body and the shock absorber to increase the vehicle's ride height. These refinement parts can be found in Goetz's auto markets or auto dealerships. Since the cost is much lower than shock absorbers and springs, spacers are preferred by most motorists.

Consider the sequence of work to install the spacers:

1. We dismantle the shock absorber strut along with all the components.
2. We dismantle the metal cover that fixes the spring.
3. Install the spacer so that it is between the two metal plates.
4. We mount the mounting bolts, with which the stand will then be fixed to the glass.
5. Installing the rack on a standard seat.

Thus, you can increase the ground clearance on the Hyundai Getz by 10-15 mm.

Shock absorbers and springs

Another way to increase ground clearance on the Getz is by installing tall dampers and springs. To do this, you will need to find a set of non-standard chassis to increase ground clearance. Usually motorists go to tuning stores or car market for purchasing this kind of spare parts.

Installation is done by hand. Old parts are dismantled from the car, and new ones are easily installed in the old seat. So, there is no need to alter or customize anything. The only caveat is that there may be large fastening bolts that need to be cut after installation on the car.

Conclusion

The Hyundai Getz clearance for all body types is one and is 135 mm, according to the technical documentation provided by the manufacturer. So, in order to increase the ground clearance, motorists use different methods. The most common is the installation of spacers.
