Just in case you had any inkling that the new 2012 Hyundai Accent could keep its sub-$10,000 starting price, you can give up those hopes now. The subcompact will start at $12,445, excluding $760 for destination, when it goes on sale later this summer. However, it will be the least expensive 40 mpg car on the market.

The base price is for the sedan body style, which gets you the new, punchier 138-horsepower engine capable of 30/40 mpg city/highway, a six-speed manual transmission, power door locks and cabin air filter. Standard safety features include active headrests, electronic stability control and six airbags. A six-speed automatic is optional, and it’s paired with cruise control, an Eco mode to optimize fuel economy, air conditioning, six-speaker stereo and power windows and locks for an extra $2,750 ($15,195).
The new five-door hatchback body style starts at $14,595 and includes the same features as the base sedan, plus power mirrors and windows, air conditioning, six-speaker stereo with satellite radio and USB integration. An automatic transmission is a $1,200 option, and it gets you cruise control.
The Accent starts significantly higher than the just-announced Nissan Versa, a clear indication of two divergent approaches to the subcompact class. The Accent is shaping up to be a more premium product over the Versa.
Still, it’s not like the new Accent is expensive for the class: the Ford Fiesta ($13,320), Honda Fit ($15,100) and Toyota Yaris ($12,955) all have higher starting prices. It's also significantly less than the aging model it replaces. The 2012 hatchback starts $750 less than the new 2011 version, but now the base model doesn't include air conditioning standard, that comes as part of a $1,750 option package evaporating the savings for a majority of buyers.
