St. Peters, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/16/2011 -- St. Charles Hyundai is proud to announce that the all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent is available to St. Louis customers at the local Hyundai dealership. Offering major value for the price, the Hyundai Accent is a great subcompact for drivers on budgets that are looking for sedan value.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent comes available in four-door and five-door versions. The Accent is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that still pushes 138 horsepower. Fuel efficiency is a major benefit for the Accent, attaining 40 mpg on the highway. The 2012 Hyundai Accent was redesigned and is a major improvement from the last version, increasing horsepower by more than 25% and improving fuel economy by 18%.

Automatic transmission Accent vehicles come with the Hyundai Active ECO System that aligns engine and transmission response to deliver the highest fuel economy possible. The new ECO system gives drivers an added 7% improvement of efficiency compared to other vehicles that don’t have the feature.

Even though it’s just a subcompact, the Accent provides plenty of space for drivers to store items. The 60/40 split fold-down rear seats allow for flexibility to carry longer items that can’t fit in the trunk. The five-door Accent allows for an impressive 111.3 cubic feet of storage.

Accent owners will love the technology that comes with the Accent. With steering-wheel-mounted controls, drivers can keep their eyes on the road and shift music volume, channels and more. A Bluetooth hands-free phone system allows owners to speak on their cell phone safely as well. With an available iPod/USB auxiliary input jack, passengers can enjoy plenty of entertainment from their device.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent comes loaded with Hyundai’s great safety features to help protect passengers. The Accent comes with electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking system, and more to keep the car gripped to the road and the driver in control. Passengers are also protected with six airbags including front, front side-impact, and side-curtain air bags in the unfortunate incident of a collision.

Drivers will love all the value the 2012 Hyundai Accent offers from efficiency, technology, and safety.
