Unless Hyundai’s sneak peek has something to do with the interior décor of the 2012 Accent shown at the annual Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival, there’s really not much to say about the South Korean firm’s cropped photo-posting on Twitter.
True, Hyundai will premiere its new sub-compact for the first time in the USA at the upcoming New York International Auto Show, but it won’t be a first per se as we’ve seen the new car in Beijing, in Moscow with a different name and face and more recently, at the 2011 Montreal Auto Show in January (see the video after the break).
The South Korean company’s redesigned entry in the competitive sub-compact segment features a more expressive design that borrows the lines of the latest Sonata and Elantra models, and will be offered with a new more fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine said to reach 40mpg on the highway.
