Hyundai offers the Accent in three trims: SE, SEL, and Limited. The base model SE comes nicely equipped at an MSRP of $16,645. Next, you find additional features and available option packages with that same great style moving to the SEL. The Accent SEL starts at an MSRP of $17,900 before adding options. The top-tier Limited trim adds some sophisticated features with only a modest increase in MSRP to $19,600.

Powertrain

Every Accent comes with the same powertrain, a 1.6-liter Smartstream inline four-cylinder engine with 16 valves with continuously variable valve timing technology. Hyundai pairs this engine with an intelligent variable transmission that delivers smooth shifting and responsive acceleration. As a result, this powertrain rates at 120 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque.

Thanks to the suspension system on this unibody design, the front-wheel-drive platform gives you plenty of traction and control. On the front, you have MacPherson struts with coil springs and gas shock absorbers. You get a Torsion axle with coil springs and monotube shock absorbers for the rear suspension.

This lightweight construction combined with the tuned suspension system blends power, control, and efficiency perfectly. As a result, the Accent out-performs the competition with a 33 mpg rating driving on surface roads, a 41 mpg rating on highways, and a 36 mpg rating combined.

Exterior Style

A hexagonal grille framed with chrome trim dominates the front fascia. Wrapping LED headlights and low-slung fog lamps add to the aggressive style. Soft curves and sharp lines give the Accent its athletic profile. Rolling on stylish 17-inch alloy wheels, the Accent grabs everyone's attention.

Other exterior features include body-color heated sideview mirrors with power-adjustment capability. The one-touch triple turn signal, power sunroof, and hands-free smart trunk release add convenience. LED daytime running lights and taillights keep the Accent illuminated for all to see.

Interior Comfort and Technology

Premium cloth upholstery comes in various colors, and the top Limited trim features heated seats as a standard item. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat sets up for multiple cargo and passenger configurations. Power windows and doors come with every model. SE and SEL models use a remote keyless entry system. The Limited trim adds a proximity key with a push-button start.

You get an AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with four speakers on the base SE trim. The 5-inch touch screen operates this system and features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth technology. You can use the steering wheel-mounted controls to use the infotainment center or speak intuitive and straightforward commands. The infotainment system comes with pre-installed apps, or you can download your favorites. Multiple USB ports keep you and your passengers connected and charged.

Hyundai equipped the SEL and Limited trims with a 7-inch touch-screen display audio system with six speakers. It also has smartphone connectivity enabling hands-free calling, texting, navigating, etc. In addition, these models come with a free trial subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio.

Driver-Assist Technology

The modern Accent comes with the latest driver-assist systems to elevate your Chicago commute and keep you safe. These systems use a combination of radar and cameras to monitor your Accent's surroundings. You'll receive visual and audio cues alerting you to potential hazards, and in some instances, these systems can provide emergency brake support to help avoid possible collisions.

The suite includes a forward-collision warning system that scans the way forward for cars, objects, and even pedestrians. In addition, a rearview camera system projects a live feed to your display audio system to give you a clear picture of what's behind you. This video includes dynamic gridlines to help you back up with confidence.
