2018 Hyundai Accent Summary

While there are plenty of things that somehow improve with age (art, wine, the seemingly ageless Will Smith, to name but a few), the Hyundai Accent is sadly not one of them.

But then, neither does almost any new cars. With new technology, entertainment and safety features launching daily, and with engines that are getting cleaner, more efficient and smoother all the time, a once all-new model can be left looking positively antique in just a handful of years.

But it’s definitely even worse than normal over at Hyundai; the Korean manufacturer that continues to make great forward strides with every new model. From the members of its fast and frantic N Division to its polished SUVs, to the all-new i30 small car, Hyundai is going from strength to strength with neck-breaking speed.

All of which creates a little problem for the pint-sized Accent, which - having launched back in 2011 - is now starting to feel its age. And unlike the Fresh Prince, it isn’t holding up quite so well. 

So in lieu of an all new version, Hyundai streamlined the existing Accent family into one value-packed model in 2017, taking the axe to the Active and SR models and replacing both with a single, Sport trim level, which is available in sedan and hatchback guise.

And in creating the Sport, Hyundai aims to blend the best of the Accent range into one handy package. So have they taught this old dog new tricks?

2024 Peugeot E-3008 Summary

Peugeot says by 2025 it "will offer the widest range of electric cars of any generalist brand in Europe". Which is a bold call when you think about Volkswagen Group powering up its EV efforts across multiple brands, Stellantis stablemates like Fiat and Opel/Vauxhall pushing hard on zero emissions and traditional Gallic rival Renault Group dialling up the voltage of its line-up.

But the storied French maker is putting its electrified money where its mouth is. Locally, the E-2008 small SUV and E-Partner light commercial van arrived in the second half of last year.

Peugeot Automobiles Australia has confirmed they'll be joined by the E-308 hatch, next-size-up E-Expert van and this car, the mid-size E-3008 SUV, in the second half of 2024. And beyond that, the city-sized E-208 is scheduled for on-sale here in 2025.

So, it's all happening in terms of new products, but are they any good? CarsGuide was invited to a pre-release drive of the new third-generation 3008 in pure-electric E-3008 form at the car's global launch to find out.
