Hyundai to launch new car Accent in October

Hyundai Motor India would launch its new model, the Accent, in October and the new car will be Euro-II compliant, the company said today.

Earlier, Hyundai Motor Company and HMI had jointly decided to adopt the international name Accent for its new car, code named LC.

Powered by 1500 cc engine, the 12-valve, four-cylinder Accent will have an indigenisation level of 70 per cent from the start of its commercial production in the country.

HMI has already started pilot production of the car at its Madras plant and the mass production is expected to begin by early next month.

Meanwhile, the company today unveiled the Accent at the Frankfurt motor show in Germany, a statement by HMC said.
