Hyundai\u2019s new Accent was the star of the companies exhibit at this year\u2019s Beijing Auto Show, but the debut of two new engines and a new automatic transmission will have broader implications for the rest of the company\u2019s lineup. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the 2.4L GDI four-cylinder in the Sonata (pictured above), two new gasoline direct-injection engines were unveiled at Beijing, a 1.6L four cylinder putting out 138 horsepower, a 28 horsepower bump over Hyundai\u2019s current 1.6L four banger. The 1.6 GDI should appear in the Accent, Elantra, certain Kia models and the upcoming Veloster compact sports car. <\/p>\n

Even more enticing was the mention in a product video that the 1.6 could potentially be turbocharged and paired up with a dual-clutch gearbox, though no timeline was given for either technology.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s long awaited GDI version of the Lambda V6 was also previewed, although the engine was only rated at 296 horsepower, which is a few ponies less than the current Lambda makes in Hyundai\u2019s Genesis Coupe. <\/p>\n

One can assume that there will be different variations, and that the engine will see a bump in power when it comes Stateside. Hyundai also joins Lexus in the elite 8-speed automatic club, and it\u2019s a sure bet that the Genesis Sedan and Coupe will get the new 8-speed auto option.<\/p>\n
