According to topgear.com.ph, this little hyundai beast will start roaming our streets like a Santa Claus before Christmas!


Hyundai Asia Resources, distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Philippines, has confirmed that the all-new Accent will be launched on December 2.

No less than Hyundai president and chief executive Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo, disclosed the information at the sidelines of the Thought Leadership Forum hosted by the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors (AVID). Perez-Agudo is the president of AVID, which has 15 members including companies like British United Automobiles (Mini), CATS Motors (Chrysler, Dodge and Mercedes-Benz), Foton Motors, Scandinavian Motors (Volvo).

Hyundai's top executive refused to give more details about the Accent but another source from the company revealed that a gasoline-powered Accent will be unveiled next week. The diesel-fueled Accent will still be sold locally but a new variant will likely follow next year.

The gasoline-fed Accent comes in two variants: a 1.4-liter Mutiport Fuel Injection engine that produces 107hp and a 1.6-liter Gamma GDI engine that churns out 140hp. Both engines are offered with either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission.

The Philippine arrival of the Accent comes a month after the car was launched in Korea. This means Filipino motorists get a crack at the Accent ahead of the motorists in Russia and the United States, where the car will be launched in the first quarter of 2011.
