Default 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatch

A few months back we saw the sedan previewed, here is the new hatchback...



^ Looks really good from that angle.



^ Not so much from the rear. Taillights are a bit over sized but not too bad. Visibility looks to be awful through the rear.

Another good job by Hyundai.

I feel like they should change the name, the accent hatch just carries a bad stigma with it

This size/configuration of an economy hatch is so difficult to design with good style...

Actually, I think most people have a problem more with the Hyundai name, not necessarily Accent. Why do you think every time there's a Hyundai related thread here it's 5+ pages long?

Not a bad little car. Hyundai's interiors have become consistently handsome.
