New Accent. New Motion

SYDNEY – July 27, 2011: Hyundai Motor Company’s all-new Accent hatch and sedan light-car is now starting to arrive in Australian showrooms.

All-new Accent echoes Hyundai’s ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities.’ philosophy, delivering advanced safety technology, an efficient powertrain and contemporary styling to the competitive light-car segment.

Designed at Hyundai’s Namyang R&D Centre in Korea, the all-new Accent range joins the Hyundai line-up demonstrating the company’s signature “Fluidic Sculpture” design language.

The exterior lines project a futuristic, dynamic, and sleek stance, making Accent striking and distinctive at first glance. Accent’s eye-catching sculptured lines are highlighted by Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille. The swept-back headlights incorporating a two-piece black bezel design and bonnet character lines provide for a distinctive look.

The all-new Accent offers a generous and airy cabin design with plenty of space and comfort for driver and passengers alike. As with the all-new Elantra and i45, the all-new Accent benefits from Hyundai’s expertise in interior packaging and craftsmanship. The symmetrically designed Y-shaped dash and the metallic and piano-black effect finishes within the cockpit, deliver a premium high quality finish to the interior.

All-new Accent will be available with a 1.6-litre MPI petrol engine featuring continuous variable valve timing (CVVT), with the choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions. Three trim levels will be available across the range - Active, Elite and Premium.
