Hyundai Automotive South Africa (Pty) Ltd has extended the appeal of its popular Getz, Accent Sedan and Accent Hatch models by introducing new sporty derivatives to the ranges. The “SR” branded vehicles are aimed at the younger market and available in South Africa immediately.
Exterior changes to the Getz SR and Accent Sedan SR include the addition of front and side skirts, a rear spoiler and 15-inch alloys. The Accent Hatch SR comes equipped with front and rear spoilers, as well as side skirts that lower drag.
For the SR models, Hyundai SA has partnered up with AK Sport: a company with a strong reputation in the design, production and fitment of after-market parts.
”Our customers often enhance the look of their vehicles based on their personal preference,” said Stanley Anderson, Marketing and After-Sales Director at Hyundai SA. ”Unfortunately there are a number of kits on the market that are of sub-standard quality, but with the SR range we ensure that the customer receives a premium finished product. AK Sport brings with it years of experience in this field. The parts are of the highest quality and the fitment is done by skilled technicians.”
Power outputs for these models remain unchanged, with the Getz 1,4 delivering 70 kW, while the Accent offers 82 kW under the bonnet of both the sedan and hatch versions.
The SR range carries price tags of R124 900 for the Getz 1,4 SR, R139 400 for the Accent Sedan 1,6 SR and R149 900 for the Accent Hatch SR. These prices include Hyundai’s 5 year/150 000 km manufacturer’s warranty.
