2012 Hyundai Accent
Last Updated:
This is the Canadian model, but the US version should be pretty much the same.
We will also be getting a sedan.
The engine is the 1.6 Liter with 138hp. With the choice of a 6 speed manual or Auto.

This according to Hyundai will "Kick Fiesta's Butt"
Yes. If it it can come in at 11-12k, it has a chance. Maybe not blow out the Fiesta, but probably outsell it.
That said… I think the Fiesta is still better then this and the Chevy Sonic in driving dynamics. But the Sonic comes with more standard hp… base. Hopefully the Ecoboost will not carry a huge premium over the base model (which is already slightly overpriced).
They still haven't figured out the grille: the oval-ish upper "smile" doesn't mix well with the tentative hexagonal motif.
The rest of the exterior styling looks great
Nor much different from the previous model. Just added a couple of dramatic lines along the side.
I would have expected more as the Sonata is very impressive.
The flambar oscillator design into returning bi-optimy character lines makes for a stylish car.
I wonder what kind of accent it has?
this is the bad front end design, the other one is more upscale..and i'm agree with you anonymous:
''the oval-ish upper "smile" doesn't mix well with the tentative hexagonal motif''
Looking good so far… It appears that the only truly 'questionable' design in Hyundai's future is the Veloster.
I don't see this kicking the Fiesta's butt. Not even close. But it's perfectly fine, and I'm sure it'll sell well.
The front looks like a bad photoshop….let's hope it looks better than this.
