Frankfurt Motor Show: Hyundai Accent SR, Getz

[Overheat]

Hyundai has sported up its rather unsporting Accent three-door hatch for the Frankfurt crowd: the Accent SR is fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, five-speed auto gearbox, lowered suspension and a wider track, sitting on 18-inch wheels with 225/40R tyres. Its cabin is finished in leather with aluminium trim, with a new-design fascia featuring an eight-inch display screen, touch-screen controls and USB ports.

More pertinently, the Getz supermini - Hyundai's best-seller in Europe - has received a minor facelift, gaining new rounded headlights and a redesigned grille. The range has also gained a new diesel engine, a more economical 1.5-litre unit which will come in 88bhp and 110bhp forms. Hyundai also displayed the Portico hybrid crossover concept seen last January in Detroit, though made no further announcements about its potential for production.

WTF? A funky looking Hyundai?? That can't be right...

The rear brake vent is a bit naff - but apart from that it's quite neat
