Hyundai Accent Eco LPG released

Hyundai released an LPG variant of its popular sedan model - accent.
Named as Accent Eco can run on petrol as well as LPG and comes with a
two year manufacturer warranty from Hyundai. Hyundai mentioned that
sufficient design factors are considered to design the LP fuel tank and
says it has a special toroidal design and does not eat up the luggage room.

LPG versions are preferred by a segment of car users due to their
economy over the petrol variants. Getting a fuel conversion done is
troublesome for a customer on their new vehicle with just petrol version
due to warranty limitations and lack of availability of trusted
conversion kits. Such a move from Hyundai can certainly attract buyers
to opt for LPG versions for superior economy, with built in LPG system.

Accent LPG Eco is stated to price around 5.3 Lakhs - Ex Showroom in
Delhi while you may get the petrol only model for around 5 Lakhs (Delhi,
