http://PetalumaHyundai.com 707-981-4203 The 2012 Hyundai Accent's engine is a new 1.6-liter direct-injection four-cylinder that produces 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. The front-wheel-drive Accent is available with either a standard six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed automatic with a fuel-economy-boosting Eco mode. In performance testing, an Accent GLS with the automatic went from zero to 60 mph in 9.8 seconds - a quick time for the class. EPA fuel economy estimates with either transmission are an impressive 30 mpg city/40 mpg highway and 33 mpg combined with the automatic transmission. Combined mileage estimates are 34 mpg with the manual.
