In 2006, Beijing Hyundai decided to introduce an economy car, the Accent, with a price of 7.98-102800 yuan. Its main competitors aimed at Volkswagen POLO, Toyota Wechi and Honda Feido, and won the top sales in the small car market soon after its launch with a unique price advantage.

Yuehua belongs to the replacement model of Renner, but its positioning is slightly higher than that of Renner.
