2012 Hyundai Accent

The 2012 Hyundai Accent looks poised to raise Hyundai towards the same high water mark for small cars it’s stated in other sedan segments a year ago using its compact Elantra and mid-size Sonata.





The Accent is going to be offered in four-door sedan and five-door hatchback variants this time around, and also the new subcompact model switches into Hyundai’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design philosophy, which blends flowing, elegant sheetmetal with more pronounced, purposeful creases. Especially significant would be the distinctive, upward rear taillamps, which seem like a fresher undertake cues we have observed in the Elantra Touring.

Hyundai already revealed the 2012 Accent, in Canadian spec, earlier this The month of january, in the Montreal auto show. Although U.S. spec is anticipated to become quite different, sheetmetal and also the beauty of both hatchback and sedan is going to be virtually exactly the same. That’s confirmed below, with one of these first glimpses from the U.S.-market version below.

The 2012 Accent is anticipated to obtain an exciting-new 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter ‘Gamma’ direct-injected four-cylinder engine, combined with whether six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission-that could bring U.S. mpg to 45 mpg or beyond. Nevertheless, the brand new model provides the best energy-to-weight ratio in the class due to less curb weight compared to outgoing version.

Among the primary weak points from the current Accent continues to be safety, and Hyundai has compensated a lot more focus on it this time around around with six standard airbags plus standard stability control which connects using the electronic energy steering. As the model stays having a torsion-axle setup at the spine and struts in-front, it will get twin-tube shocks in advance along with a large stabilizer bar, which coupled with a firmer physiology should bring enhanced ride and handling.

Heated front seats, heated mirrors, along with a energy sunroof are required to become on order within the 2012 Accent, together with Bluetooth connectivity, ipod device and USB connectivity, and cruise control. Quite simply, the Accent has swept up using the occasions and it is now ready to defend myself against the kind of the Ford Fiesta and approaching 2012 Chevrolet Sonic, along with the remodeled 2012 Nissan Versa, the Mazda2, and our longtime pick within this class, the Honda Fit.

Using its Canadian introduction, Hyundai stated the Accent is “a subcompact vehicle using the roominess of the compact”-a sign the car maker has applied a few of the same packaging expertise it’s applied lately towards the all-new 2011 Elantra and Sonata sedans. Depending on these pictures, we like what we have seen.
