The Accent is the car to look out for. With Hyundai’s Santro giving tough competition to Maruti Zen, it remains to be seen if this is repeated in the luxury segment too.

The Accent is a much better looking car than the Hyundai, with its new look grille that is being marketed as the smiling look. Powered by the 1500 cc, 12 valve, 4- cylinder MPFI Hyundai Alpha engine, the Accent will be Euro II compliant from the day of its launch.

The interiors are new too. It has a three-way adjustable seat and a three-spoke steering wheel. The car will feature an air conditioning system that was tested in the Thar Desert.

The Accent comes with a 1500 cc petrol engine and the alternative TUD 5.
