The Accent is Hyundai's entry level model. Introduced for the 2006 model year, the 3rd generation Accent is far more competitive than the model it replaces. The FWD Accent sedan is powered by a 110 hp 4-cylinder engine offered with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. When configured with an optional convenience package, the Accent includes alloy wheels, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, keyless entry and heated side mirrors for under $14,500.

What Changed:

All-new 3rd generation Accent is longer, wider and taller than the model it replaces. New 1.6L 4-cylinder produces 110hp and 107 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic.
