Sharing the limelight with Entourage was the 2-door hatchback sibling of the redesigned Hyundai Accent. Accent is Hyundai's smallest car and was unveiled late last year. The hatchback will be offered in GS or sportier SE trim levels. SE adds performance sport-tuned suspension and 16-inch alloy wheels.

The sedan's 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine powers the hatchback, along with a standard 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic. Rivaling Scion's tC for customer customization are the 35-plus optional accessories available. The Accent GS will start at $10,915 when it arrives in dealerships this spring.

Hyundai introduced its first minivan to the North American market at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. Sharing chassis and engine with the redesigned Kia Sedona that goes on sale this spring, the Hyundai Entourage will be powered by a 244-hp 3.8-liter V6 mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.

As seen with Hyundai's new Azera and the recently redesigned Sonata, the South Korean automaker is focusing on increasing standard safety features in its new vehicles. Entourage will come equipped with electronic stability control, traction control, an antilock brake system with electronic brake-force distribution, six airbags including curtain side airbags that protect all three rows of occupants, and whiplash-protecting active head restraints for front-seat occupants. Entourage was to have been the first minivan on the market to have dual power sliding side doors as standard equipment. However, at the last minute, Hyundai decided to add a base model with manual sliding doors. That left power doors standard on the GLS and Limited models. Entourage will go head-to-head with minivan rivals Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Dodge Caravan.
