Meet and Greet the 2012 Hyundai Accent

April 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Say hello to our little 2012 Hyundai Accent making its first appearance in the United States at the New York Auto Show. This vehicle will surely be on your short list this year with its best-in-class standard fuel economy and power.

“The 2012 Hyundai Accent reinvigorates the subcompact segment, similar to what the game-changing Sonata and Elantra have done in their categories,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Accent’s class-leading standard fuel economy is another showcase of Hyundai’s dedication to improving fuel efficiency with advancements to traditional gasoline powered vehicles and is the fourth nameplate in Hyundai’s lineup delivering 40 mpg on the highway.”

The all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent brings out a popular subcompact sedan with the new top-of-the-line functional five-door vehicle. Accent redefines expectations in the subcompact category by offering the company’s distinctive and upscale “Fluidic Sculpture” design, best-in-class standard fuel economy, exceptional roominess and a full complement of standard safety features.

Despite surprising technology and a significant increase in safety features, Hyundai will hold the line on pricing from the prior generation to continue delivering unmistakable value to customers. This 2012 Accent will comes to our lot this summer and really give you a new option in terms of a vehicle with great fuel economy, looks and style to match.
