Texan Hyundai serving Houston is proud to confirm that WardsAuto World has named the 1.6-liter GDI Gamma engine that debuted on the 2012 Accent one of the Ward’s 10 Best Engines.

The Hyundai Accent is available with the 1.6-liter GDI Gamma engine paired with a proprietary six-speed automatic or manual transmission. This combination results in best-in-class fuel economy of 30 mpg city/40 mpg highway and best-in-class 138 horsepower.

“Hyundai spent three years on the list with its excellent Tau 5.0-liter V-8, but 2012 brings evidence the auto maker can deliver world-class small engines as well,” writes WardsAuto World Executive Editor, Tom Murphy. “The new 1.6-liter DI Gamma four-cylinder is powering entry level vehicles such as the Hyundai Accent and demonstrates its versatility in the Hyundai Veloster three-door coupe. Mated with an excellent six-speed manual transmission for our evaluation, this package makes the Accent an easy pick for B-class car shoppers. Priced a shade above $14,000, the Gamma-equipped Accent is an excellent value that will surprise and delight any first-time buyer.”

Stylish Accent Has Houston Hyundai Fans Talking

Houston Hyundai fans can experience the 2012 Hyundai Accent and its .6-liter GDI Gamma engine at Texan Hyundai. Still affordable and still stylish, the new 2012 Hyundai Accent already has Houston Hyundai shoppers talking, as it now boasts Hyundai’s upscale “fluidic sculpture” design, best-in-class fuel economy, a spacious interior, plenty of standard safety features, and surprising technology.

The 2012 Accent might just be the best weapon against rising fuel prices for Houston Hyundai shoppers.  The new Accent averages 30mpg in the city and a whopping 40mpg on the highway.

The new Accent’s EPA also beats out many comparable vehicles, like the Honda Fit and the Toyota Yaris.

Its interior is also sure to please, as Accent’s surprisingly spacious cabin has the roominess of a compact, a class above its actual subcompact category. The new Accent GLS’s interior is also equipped with great features like a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, power locks, and air conditioning.

In terms of safety, the 2012 Hyundai Accent continues Hyundai’s commitment to safety for drivers and passengers. The new 2012 Accent now boasts even more standard safety features than before.
