Little Koreans coming with Kia Picanto and Hyundai Accent - The Sunshine Coast Daily
For starters, Kia has confirmed its baby Picanto is Australia bound early next year, while Hyundai has launched a revised and cheaper Accent range starting at $14,990, down $2000 from before. It also said an indicative price of $14,990 was likely: $1000 cheaper than the Rio three-door hatch and $2000 less than the Rio five-door hatch manuals. The price would be two grand more than rival five-door Suzuki Celerio and Holden Barina Spark, or three grand more than cheapie Mitsubishi Mirage five-door hatch, although these are manual transmission prices. On the Hyundai front, the revised Accent range now replaces the outgoing Hyundai i20 model. The entry-level sedan or hatchback Accent Active now starts at $14,990 before on-roads, and comes with a 74kW/133Nm 1. 4-litre engine with six-speed manual or optional CVT with sequential manual mode ($2000 premium). All Accents have been given ANCAP 5-star ratings, feature six airbags, 5-inch touchscreens, Bluetooth and steering wheel audio controls, while SR models gain 16-inch alloys, fog lights, cruise control and roof mounted rear spoiler.
