LEDs, which have been smoothly integrated into the front and rear end, form the head and taillights for Hyundai's new concept. As a tribute to outdoor enthusiasts, Hyundai has also added a fold-away, integrated bicycle carrier.

On the inside, the layout is set up in a simple and minimalist fashion to reduce confusion and stress. The driver is face with a straightforward multi-function speedometer unit, while all other vital information, including the car's climate control and stereo system, are controlled through a central LCD display system.

Despite the car's small size, Hyundai has ensured that performance is reasonable. Driving the front wheels is a 1.8-liter inline-four with variable valve timing that produces 140 horsepower.

While the E³ is yet another fine Hyundai concept car, only time will tell if the production Accent will encompass such impressive features.
