Hyundai Motor Begins Selling New Accent Diesel With Double Clutch Transmission


SEOUL, Jan. 8 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea's largest automaker, said Thursday it started selling the refreshed Accent diesel subcompact equipped with its own transmission technology that guarantees better fuel efficiency and a sporty driving experience.

The Accent diesel adopts the seven-speed "Double Clutch Transmission" for the first time for a domestically-produced model. It applies two separate clutches to improve response time and lower noise.

The transmission, developed by Hyundai Motor, will help improve fuel efficiency significantly, the company said. The 2015 Accent diesel also boats a fuel efficiency of 18.3 km per liter, the best among same-class vehicles produced by local automakers.
