Hyundai Accent

The Hyundai Accent’s unibody is 39% more rigid than its predecessor. That not only makes it safer, it also produces more precise handling and steering and a smoother and quieter ride. To make that quiet even more quiet, Hyundai Accent's also employed triple door seals and improved the engine’s isolation to reduce its noise and vibration. The net effect is a peaceful, sure-footed ride, which raises a worthwhile point about the Accent. The Hyundai Accent’s economical 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine delivers up to 36 miles per gallon. With 110 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque, it’s perfect for both stop-and-go city driving as well as worry-free on-ramp entry.

The Hyundai Accent’s efficient Alpha-series engine is the product of a multimillion dollar investment into powertrain research. Its remarkable quality and reliability come not just from its engineering, but its top-notch construction as well. Each engine is painstakingly assembled by hand to exacting standards. So exacting, in fact, that as a final quality check each engine is run without fluids. Unless the machining and assembly are precisely to spec, the engine doesn’t leave the factory. The end result is an engine truly worthy of its industry leading 10-year/100,000-mile warranty. The Hyundai Accent uses a four-sensor four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help keep you and your passengers safe (optional).
