I previously blogged about the Hyundai Accent SR, which was to be a 3-door turbocharged hot hatch. What’s likely to come to Malaysia though is the sedan version of the Hyundai Accent which is what I’m blogging about now.
This Accent has different headlamps than the ones on the previous Hyundai Accent SR concepts which we saw.
The previous Accent didn’t have much identity of it’s own. It looked like a Scion tC half-cut. That is, the coupe cut into half made into a hatchback, heheh. The new Hyundai Accent sedan still has the Toyota-ish grille but has different rounder lights. Doesn’t look too bad.
The interior looks exactly like the Kia Rio‘s. Of course, they’re the same platform after all. Let’s hope Hyundai will bring this one in to replace the Accent next year. It’s beginning to look dated.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Sure the price here more than 120k after new NAP???
KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has unveiled correspondence showing he did not approve the national car status for the Naza Kia Carnival model.
"national car status",..? this was Tun Dr Mahathir mistake in the first place, to have "national car"….. if proton was not born, we will have had Honda City at probably RM40K now.!
JOHOR BARU: Technician Yong Ky Loon was among hundreds of motorists and motorcyclists who thronged the state Road Transport Department (JPJ) headquarters early yesterday to get a vehicle number plate starting with ‘JJJ’.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J …:D
lol…
J means Junk????
lol…jz kidding..
The rear looks like Lorraine.
After AP issues, don't know Hyundai still can compete POTONG cause the price will goes UP!!
the head looks like altis man !
This looks so bad. I'd never want to have this , The SR was a different case.
That looks so good , this looks so shitty. Period
Chew!! styling wise Mama only. I think it is Nothing special if not because the price is low Malaysian will not buy it lah.. Agreed bro?
YAU MO KAU….CHOU! Hyundai……bye 2 lah!
BORING! noting will make me buy an accent….its so bloody average…absolutly noting stands out…waja anytime..
that front grille is so damn familiar… hmmm
Without Pininfarina, this Hyundai is soooo ordinary.
Just like Korean MP3 player, looks like shit.
I agree with E-Nabil..Waja better still than this version of Accent. And i tout Naza gonna bring the hatchy…
Gannima: Sounds like you are one that like Hyundai Matrix's design?
what can i say… it boring. nothing abt the exterior and interior of it make me feel excited. grade = C average.
this is 'that' kind of car that you'll not look twice.
and tm ni pun satu. biarlah nazi have national status car. at least the car they produce hv lower price. and we the rakyat save RM sikit (untung la) even if nazi untung lagi besau. of course G will collect less tax, so?
just imagine.. if the nazi206 pun dpt the same status.. kan syok? more affordable good (the real 206 lah.. judgement on nazi206 quality kita tengok lah macamana) car to the masses.
wye jon,
u also think the head look like altis ar? or the singapore corolla?
how many cc ah? i think the front exterior misses something.. the foglights! where is the foglights while the 1st accent has?
I have to agree with some of the sentiments. The Accent is boring. I'd rate a Gen.2 way higher in terms of styling anytime over the this average offering from Hyundai. If there is one problem Hyundai faces with its slew of products, is design.
Inject in some flair and excitement. That's a good start. Design cues from the Hyundai Coupe perhaps? At least they got that right. At least it's desirable.
another case of the new facelift/model looking worse than the old model….just like maikai jackson : )
but dont forget that it is designed as a cheap car back then in Korea, not as premium car like waja… imagine if the tax/taarif is not counted… this car will definitely outsell all wira and iswara anytime!!!
fail.
Wira better design lah.
Not like this accent. Sooo UNbeautiful
Not much difference from the current one. Purely cosmetic changes again. The new Kia Rio looks a tad like Toyota Vios, doesn't it?
haiz,at least the accent safety is much much safer then the proton waja. have your guys see the proton waja crash test result..it's teribble !!!
And yet again, fork korean cars. Period.
The front view look just like toyota yaris.
hyundai accent waste
The design is so lame and boring. Does not look like a 2006 design at all. More like those late 80's. The headlights' yellow tint gave an illusion of "cross-eyes" to the car. Looks do-doish…., if RM40k+, can compete a bit, I think.
GORGEOUS C A R !!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing to compare, in it`s clas.
B R A V O, for HYUNDAI.
