Looks like Hyundai still has more coming down the road. Although there was some speculation of a 2012 Hyundai Veloster Turbo making an appearance at the 2011 New York Auto Show, we have found out that something else will be dropping in from Korea.
That, my friends, will be the 2012 Hyundai Accent.
Although there are no official shots of the vehicle yet, it's pretty clear from this teaser shot at the Coachella Festival -- Hi, girls -- that the 2012 Accent will be a four-door hatchback. Additionally, we're expecting this to be yet another Hyundai that hits that 40 mpg mark.
Hyundai's press release follows:
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 14, 2011 - Hyundai will join music fans in Indio, Calif., this weekend for the Coachella Valley Music & arts Festival. The “Base Camp Powered by Hyundai” includes a host of services and conveniences for festival attendees such as a shaded lounge, recharging station, WiFi access, live stream of the Coachella webcast, an opportunity to film a video postcard from inside the new 2012 Accent, play video games inside the all-new 2012 Hyundai Veloster, and more.
Hyundai started to reveal its inner audiophile last winter when it featured popular YouTube band Pomplamoose in advertising. At Coachella, Hyundai is looking to strengthen that connection with passionate music fans. With new and redesigned models like Veloster, Accent and Elantra all entering the Hyundai lineup in the same year, the brand offers fresh options at accessible price points for customers who are always looking for “what’s next.”
Hyundai knows that Coachella fans often share more than just a passion for music, but also a passion for the environment. Sustainability is a primary focus for Hyundai and the models on display at Coachella all achieve 40 miles per gallon fuel economy on the highway. In all, Hyundai will offer four models that achieve 40 mpg highway fuel economy in 2011...
