We haven't had a Hyundai Accent in Europe in many years, but this four-door model would suit our own market here in Ireland.
Compared to the existing US and Asian car, there are new front bumpers and a restyled front grille. It will be built at Hyundai's new St Petersburg plant from January, with sales starting in Russia soon after.
The engines available initially will be a 107hp 1.4-litre with 135Nm of torque or a 124hp 1.6-litre with 168Nm of torque. There will be a choice of five-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
If the model did come to Europe it would need a diesel option, with the firm's existing 90hp and 115hp 1.6-litre units likely to fit the bill.
