Lost in the hooplah surrounding the more highly-touted models in Hyundai->ke201's sedan line - we're looking at you Genesis->ke2924 and Sonata->ke1859 - is the kid brother in the family, the Hyundai Accent->ke478 - or Verna, depending on what part of the globe you're in.

Well, kid brother finally got his chance in the spotlight after Hyundai unveiled the Accent at the 2010 Beijing Motor Show->ke2062 as the Verna. With design cues that look eerily similar to the Sonata, the Hyundai Accent comes with a number of engine platforms, including 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter variants that, according to Hyundai, would come with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.

The Accent is scheduled to drop in China at the latter part of the year with the other markets scheduled to follow suit sometime in the next year. In the meantime, you can check out this video of the 2011 Hyundai Accent getting his moment in the sun in Beijing.
