New Hyundai Accent

[Turbo_Aspiration]

Saw the new Accent in the M1 traffic. Same style as the Elantra and Sonata but obviously smaller.

Does anybody have any more info about pricing/specs?

Looks very nice indeed. The 1.8 goes for about R215000. Not sure about the extra's though. I still think the Kia Cerato offers better value for money.

At that price the Cerato is undoubtedly better value for money. But it's interesting how far Hyundai have come nonetheless in such a short period of time.

1998 Elantra:

2011 Elantra:

Can't speak for the others, but my post was based purely on Hyundai's progress. Nothing to do with any specific model

Pricing will be close to i20 prices...

 

[Brawler]

It looks really good.

 

[Rouxenator]

The new Accent will be the i25

Nice! Going to go for a test drive as soon as it's available.

Tested the Elantra and it's really good. A bit out of my price range though. This will fit nicely.

I would take the Hatch though, the sedan looks a bit....

 

[Turbo_Aspiration]

Agreed.

I wonder if we'll get the hatch here.

Which is the better buy, the new Accent or the i20?

It isn't released yet?

Will be soon, saw it at the Hyundai Diepriver branch in CT. Slightly cheaper than i20, and higher specs.
