Did you know there was a Hybrid version of the 2006-2010 Hyundai Accent?

Neither did I! It was apparently only sold in South Korea and only distributed to government agencies.

I didn’t know that but also worth mentioning that the (non-hybrid) 2006-11 Accent was sold in Mexico as the Dodge Attitude.

Every time I watch dash cam videos, I always see obscure cars in Canada and Mexico that weren’t sold in America. It’s almost like a flex of “hey, I don’t live in the United States.”  The Attitude is one of them. Honorable mentions include the Acura Civics, the Mercedes B-Class, and the X-Trail.

Si, and it was a piece of garbage.

And now the Attitude is a Mirage G4 with a Dodge badge and crosshair grille lazily slapped on.

That truly is a very random fact.
I wonder what kind of mileage it got, probably similar to a Prius C

The original was even lazier - they blacked out the Hyundai badges and put the Ram head logo of the day in:

The B-Class was actually sold here in limited numbers from 2014 to 2017 . Someone down the road from me has one. It’s red.

The best part is Attitudes have a Hyundai logo on the hubcaps.

Not sure! I would imagine not much different if not slightly worse...the MC generation of Accent was around slightly before the Prius C.

The ‘Acura’ Civics are not super common, but common enough I see one every day or two when I am out and about. :)

Thanks for the heads up about the Attitude/Accent in Mexico....already knew that, but pretty weird! In fact, I wrote an Accent article the other year because why not write on on my mundane crappy Korean ecobox that I love? :P

Is it electric? I’d be interested in one if I could have a gasoline engine.

However, somehow the second generation is even lazier. They didn’t even get rid of the Hyundai badges.

I believe so.  I think all US market B-classes are electric.  I’ve only ever seen the one near me one the road once and wasn’t listening.  I mainly see it in an apartment complex parking lot.
