Spied: All-New Hyundai Accent (Verna) Caught Undisguised

This time, rocking in an alluring tone of red AND sans disguise. While there is currently much debate as to whether the above car is the all-new Accent or perhaps the upcoming Elantra, rest assured - this is the new Accent. The person who sent this to us stated that the naked Accent, named Verna in South Korea, was caught during a commercial shoot in Korea's Incheon International Airport.

From the spy shots, it is very apparent that the redesigned Accent is essentially a miniaturized counterpart of the YF Sonata. Another embodiment of Hyundai's new "Fluidic Sculpture" design scheme, the RB Accent incorporates a steeper windshield rake, stretched headlamps, sleek side profile, short front & rear overhangs, and a short boot deck. The side window profile is a familiar sight from the current Elantra, YF Sonata, and the upcoming redesigned Elantra (MD), and side mirrors with turn signals add a touch of elegance.

With regards to the upcoming Accent's powertrain line-up, we have no information. The RB Accent is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2011 as a 2012 model. Stay tuned for more information and images as they become available to us.
