The Hyundai Accent subcompact is what you similar to to call, prolonged in the tooth. The little automobile offers the lot of worth, though it isn?t as cutting edge or even as bearable as a Toyota Yaris or Ford?s new Fiesta. That looks to shift, with the brandnew indication rolled out today during a Beijing automobile uncover.


Called Verna in South Korea, a brandnew Accent seems to impersonate a character of the notlongago redesigned Hyundai Sonata. But since of a notasbig measure, it looks the little short to us. The interior looks similar to the good ascent as well as would positively have an attractive entry-level choice in a company?s lineup.

Hyundai 1.6-liter GDI engine - Click above to watch the videos after the break


We already saw the new Hyundai Verna - known as the Accent in some other parts of the world, including here in the United States - debuted at the Beijing Motor Show, but the Korean automaker had other important new tidbits to show off as well. Specifically, a direct injected version of its Lambda V6 engine, a new direct-injected 1.6-liter four and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

While all three developments are notable for various reasons, we're naturally rather drawn to the new DI V6 engine, which was shown in a longitudinal arrangement. That means we can likely expect to see this updated six in rear-wheel-drive platforms first, such as the Genesis Sedan and Coupe and the new Equus luxury cruiser. It's not a stretch to imagine this mill mated up with the eight-speed auto, either. Power for the DI V6 comes out to only 296 horses, but that's likely an underrated configuration, as it's less than what the Genesis Coupe makes now.

As for the 1.6-liter directed-injected four, you can count on that powerplant showing up in the next-gen Accent and possibly the Elantra as well. Power comes in at 138 ponies, which compares rather well with the 110 horsepower of the current non-direct-injected 1.6-liter four. Hyundai also says the 1.6 is a likely candidate for turbocharging, so that's something else to look forward to.

Click on past the break for a trio of videos showing off the new technology, if only for the stellar voiceover that we think we've heard somewhere before.

Lots of good in that, as long as they get more than 296hp out of the DI Lambda V6. I hope that's a figure for the 3.3l Lambda.
