After debuting as a concept at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show as the Hyundai TB, the Getz premiered globally at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show.{{cite web|url=http://www.hyundai-presselounge.de/-/1033/-/getz:-neuer-kleinwagen-von-hyundai-feiert-weltpremiere-in-genf.html |title=Getz: neuer Kleinwagen von Hyundai feiert Weltpremiere in Genf |language=de |publisher=Hyundai Presselounge |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140219020553/http://www.hyundai-presselounge.de/-/1033/-/getz%3A-neuer-kleinwagen-von-hyundai-feiert-weltpremiere-in-genf.html |archive-date=19 February 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }} It was designed at Hyundai's European engineering center in Frankfurt, Germany, and was released in three- and five-door hatchback body styles.{{cite web |title=Annual Report 2003 |url=http://worldwide.hyundai.com/wcm/idc/groups/sggeneralcontent/@hmc/documents/sitecontent/mdaw/mdi2/~edisp/hw026556.pdf |publisher=Hyundai Motor Company |access-date=14 April 2013 |page=27 |date=28 June 2006 |archive-date=16 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016064606/http://worldwide.hyundai.com/wcm/idc/groups/sggeneralcontent/@hmc/documents/sitecontent/mdaw/mdi2/~edisp/hw026556.pdf |url-status=dead }}

The Getz was manufactured at the factory in Ulsan, South Korea, between 2002 and 2011, and at the Hyundai Motor India factory in Chennai, India, between 2004 and 2009. It was also assembled for the local markets in Barcelona, Venezuela (MMC Automotriz), in Kulim, Malaysia (Inokom) and in Taipei, Taiwan (SYM Motors).

In the autumn of 2005, the facelifted Getz debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show with revised front and rear styling, rounded headlights, redesigned grille, an updated 1.5-litre diesel engine (in Europe), a new 1.4-litre petrol engine, upgraded dash and interior fascia and trim.{{cite web |url=http://europe.autonews.com/article/20050905/ANE/509050819/2005-frankfurt-a-to-z |title=2005 Frankfurt A-to-Z |publisher=Automotive News Europe |date=5 September 2005 |access-date=13 April 2016}}{{cite press release |url=http://www.hyundaipressoffice.co.uk/doc/282/424539164f2ac078530ea.doc |title=HyundaI's biggest selling model Getz new looks and engines |format=Doc |publisher=Hyundai Motor UK |date=30 September 2005 |access-date=13 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413010429/http://www.hyundaipressoffice.co.uk/doc/282/424539164f2ac078530ea.doc |archive-date=13 April 2016 |url-status=dead }}

In the United Kingdom, air conditioning and side airbags were fitted to the CDX as standard equipment.

The facelifted model was not offered in Venezuela (where it marketed as the Dodge Brisa), the local division of Hyundai continuing to sell the pre-2005 model.{{cite web |url=http://hyundai-motor.com.ve/cms/content/view/247/117/ |title=Getz |publisher=Hyundai Motor Venezuela |access-date=23 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100723130633/http://hyundai-motor.com.ve/cms/content/view/247/117/ |archive-date=23 July 2010}}

In Venezuela, the Hyundai Getz was assembled locally featuring its 1.6 Litre petrol engine, mated to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Also the Getz was badge-engineered as the Dodge Brisa in its 1.3-litre, 4-speed manual transmission configuration. This new model replaced the Accent-based Brisa that debuted in that market in April 2002. In recent years, Hyundai Getz where factory equipped with a CNG kit, allowing dual fuel use of petrol or natural gas. Assembly of the Getz ended in 2014 in Venezuela.

In Malaysia, the Getz was locally assembled as the Inokom Getz. The model offers both manual and automatic transmission with a single 1.4-litre petrol engine option.{{cite web |url=http://www1.inokom.com.my/index.php@option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=35.html |title=Inokom Getz |publisher=Inokom Corporation Sdn Bhd |access-date=26 September 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} In the last quarter of 2009, Inokom launched a limited edition Getz SE, which featured leather interior, sporty body kit and grill and side mirrors with indicators. Only 300 units of this variant were produced.

Between 2008 and 2014, Australian company Blade Electric Vehicles sold a fully electric conversion of the Getz called the Blade Electron.{{cite web |title=Blade Electron |url=http://blade.id.au |website=Blade Electron |access-date=26 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226011455/http://blade.id.au/ |archive-date=26 February 2015 |url-status=dead }} Built in Victoria, it was the first commercially-available electric car in Australia and retailed for AU$52,000.{{cite web |last1=Hutchison |first1=Angelique |title='Blade Electron Mk VI' electric car |url=https://collection.powerhouse.com.au/object/593543 |website=Powerhouse Museum |access-date=26 November 2023}} In New Zealand, the vehicle was distributed at Hyundai dealerships{{cite web |url=http://www.evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=19303 |title=Hyundai Will Sell Electric Car in New Zealand |publisher=EV World |access-date=29 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160425015455/http://www.evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=19303 |archive-date=25 April 2016 |url-status=dead }}

The first generation Blade Electron model had a top speed of {{convert|120|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} and a range of {{Convert|120|km}} on a full charge. {{cite web |title=Electric Hyundai Getz now available in Australia |url=http://envirofuel.com.au/2008/02/19/electric-hyundai-getz-now-available-in-australia/ |publisher=Envirofuel |date=19 February 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113052734/http://envirofuel.com.au/2008/02/19/electric-hyundai-getz-now-available-in-australia/ |archive-date=13 January 2010}} Blade Electric Vehicles had an agreement with Hyundai to honor the warranty on original components that were not modified during the conversion process. Around 50 vehicles were produced, and four were still believed to be in operation as of 2019.

At launch there were three petrol engines available, a 1.1-litre, a 1.3-litre and a 1.5-litre, and one diesel option, a 1.5-litre three-cylinder unit, licensed from VM Motori.{{cite web |title=A 315 SOHC – 1500 cc – 3 Cyl. – 12 Valve |url=http://www.vmmotori.it/en/01/00/01/dettaglio.jsp?id=46 |publisher=VM Motori S.p.A. |access-date=14 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090120200327/http://vmmotori.it/en/01/00/01/dettaglio.jsp?id=46 |archive-date=20 January 2009 |url-status=dead }} When the Getz was introduced to the market in Australia it was brought out with only the 1.5l petrol G4EC engine{{Citation needed|date=February 2020}}. After the facelift in 2005, a new 1.4-litre petrol engine replaced the 1.3-litre unit, and a new 1.5-litre diesel with variable geometry turbocharger and two power output levels, was introduced in place of the three-cylinder option. The Diesel engines never made it to Australia. But the introduction of the 1.4 L DOHC and the 1.6 L DOHC replaced the 1.5 L motor. The 1.4 L Engine though very efficient and reliable was no power plant when it came to using the a/c whilst climbing a hill. Especially in the automatic transmission{{cite web |title=Hyundai Getz speicifations |url=http://www.auto-types.com/hyundai/ |publisher=Auto-types.com |access-date=14 April 2013 |archive-date=16 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160716030734/http://www.auto-types.com/hyundai/ |url-status=dead }} However, the availability of engine options varied depending on market.

There were four-speed automatic transmission options, with overdrive and torque converter,{{cite web |title=Hyundai Getz specifications |url=http://www.hyundai.com.au/MultiMediaFiles/Cars/getz/pdf/Hyundai_getz_Specifications.pdf |publisher=Hyundai Motor Company Australia |access-date=14 April 2013 |date=19 May 2011}} for the 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre petrol versions, and after the facelift also for the 1.4-litre, and five-speed manual options for all engines.

It was described as a "reasonably balanced performance" and "generally good" in-car protection for children. It was noted, however, that the design of the car did little to protect pedestrians. An additional point was scored for the seat belt reminder that is provided for the driver.{{cite web |title=Hyundai Getz |url=http://www.euroncap.com/tests/hyundai_getz_2004/199.aspx |publisher=Euro NCAP |access-date=14 April 2013}}

The Getz continued to be sold in the Australian market until December 2010.{{cite web |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/E901C2359CAD0C4DCA2577D00083D3CE |title=Hyundai 2011 i25 – Accent to fill Getz shoes for Hyundai |publisher=GoAuto |date=4 November 2010 |access-date=1 April 2012 |archive-date=30 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101230045217/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/E901C2359CAD0C4DCA2577D00083D3CE |url-status=dead }} In India, the car was discontinued due to falling demand as compared to the warm response received by the i20 and the introduction of the new Euro 4 emission norms from May 2010.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}

In mid-2011, the Click was replaced in the South Korean market by the Hyundai Accent WIT. In Japan, where it was known as the TB, the car was discontinued shortly before Hyundai officially announced the departure of its passenger car division from the market in late-2009. Countries that do not offer the i20 or Accent hatchback have designated the i10 as the Getz's replacement. In addition, Hyundai owned subsidiary, Kia and its Picanto series has also replaced the Getz in the small car market.

Hyundai produced 1,390,084 variants of the Getz between 2002 and 2011. 153,000 were sold in Australia.{{Cite web|title=Hyundai Getz gone for good|url=https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/hyundai-getz-gone-for-good-18907|access-date=2022-02-17|website=CarsGuide|language=en}}
