Hyundai Accent SR Auto Show Photo

A preview of the all-new Accent to come, this concept seems timed perfectly to coincide with the imminent onslaught of Asian pocket rockets, led by the Honda Civic Si, and soon to be followed by Nissan with its anti-Scion brigade. The SR looks like a tuner car right on the stand, with a full body kit, rear brake air inlets, and rear hatch spoiler. Dramatic wheel arches and large 18-inch wheels further fuel the sporting image. The interior looks Tron inspired with a blue glow around controls, including the center console touch screen and high-tech gauge cluster. The eight-inch LCD display features three USB ports for a variety of multimedia applications. Ample use of leather and aluminum trim give the well-appointed interior a sporty feel. Powertrain details weren't revealed, but it is known that the car is fitted with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a five-speed automatic transmission. Hyundai has given the usual disclaimer that this is a concept, and some elements may go in to production, yaddah, yaddah. We hope the SR eventually joins the range with limited changes, as this could bring some fire to the resurging hot hatch segment.
