Hyundai has launched a truly special edition of its popular Getz in Malaysia. When others add a spoiler or two with special paint and label it a special edition, Hyundai was left with limited choices for its special edition stand apart – so they chose the option of removing the all-important Hyundai logo from the grill.
Since its launch in Malaysia, Hyundai has sold 20,000 units of the vehicle. We don’t know if this is a figure to boast about. Whatever its status maybe, the Getz SE, limited to 300 units, certainly looks unique.
Starting with the “Icing White” special color to the new grille and bumper, the car looks more gutsy. The side mirrors like a special edition, have LED indicators. The rear bumper is new as well. 15 inch Dunlop rubbers are wrapped around alloys.
Step inside the Getz SE and you’ll notice the brushed aluminium supplementing it with richness. The seats are leather. the inside, the center dashboard and the door handles has a new brushed-aluminium look to them.
The SE version is for both the 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic options.

If only we were Malaysians, we would be lucky to buy the Honda Jazz Grade S Modulo limited edition, which basically is a top-end Jazz fitted with the Modulo kit. Nevertheless it looks like fun.
The Modulo kit for the Honda Jazz is made up of front and rear lip spoiler, side skirts, and a tailgate spoiler. And listen to this- you can choose any color to kit the car as long as it is blue.
A mere 100 units of the kitted Jazz is available and Honda charges nothing extra.
The Malaysian Honda wing could not have managed to sell the allotted blue color top-end variants. And as a result, it began stagnating in their stockyard leading them to such a decision.
The Honda Jazz is based on the City‘s platform, and its success can be measured by the 500,000 examples, which have left production lines to European homes. Honda kitted the Civic and sold it at a premium in the country, so speaking with that in mind, the Modulo kit might make it here in a while.

The Chevrolet Captiva, when I last checked, was the best selling SUV in India ahead of its peers CR-V, Endevour and Pajero. In other parts of the world the story isn’t very different, like in Malaysia for instance.
To continue its good run in the Malaysian market, General Motors has unveiled a new feature-rich variants of the Captiva to extend the gap to the X-Trail and CR-V.
Several versions of the Chevrolet Captiva 7-seater are on sale in Malaysia but all of them come with either the 2.0-liter turbo diesel that produces 320Nm of torque from 2,000rpm making it easy to drive in the city or the 2.4-liter petrol that is good for 136hp and 220Nm at 2,200rpm. Both engines share relationships with the same 5-speed auto box.
