It is been dubbed as the 2011 Hyundai Accent. It has been close to 12 years since the Accent is doing duties in India. Across the world, it has been replaced by modern looking sedans from its stables namely the Hyundai Accent and the Hyundai RB. However as is the norm in India, the Accent slots beneath the Hyundai Verna. The refresh would actually be a last ditch attempt at pumping up the old saloon’s sales.
