The Accent is often a big improvement over previous
generations of Hyundai's smallest cars, and it's now a solid choice from the
subcompact class - It's a more traditional econocar effort than some of the hatchbacks
and sedans in the actual segment, emphasizing big interior place and strong
value, with predictable performance to visit with.

2015 Hyundai Accent
|
Compared to its predecessor, it's endowed with a more
elegant look as well as a higher-grade interior to match your competition. The
Hyundai Accent came into its for the 2012 model yr, when it was completely
redesigned with some of the same 'Fluidic Sculpture' influences as other
Hyundai types of the period and it was also equipped better than ever, and
given a hefty assisting of maturity that some models much like the Fiat 500 and
Ford Fiesta remain arguably lacking. The Nissan Versa, Toyota Fit, and
Chevrolet Sonic are generally other definite mainstream rivals, as may be the
nearly mechanically identical Kia Rio.
Certainly the more attractive
2015 Hyundai Accent model may be
the 5 door hatchback - While the four-door sedan is fine--perhaps slightly
homely--the five-door nails the pattern, mixing the usual hatchback profile
with the cues and details that have fallen to define Hyundai's first modern-day
design language. The layout is simple and clean, and the combination of
structured controls and nice low-gloss plastics gives it lots of presence for
the price.

2015 Hyundai Accent
|
The actual Hyundai Accent accelerates, steers, and handles
within the adequate, predictable way, although it's no performance standout.
That mentioned, its direct-injection 1. 6-liter four-cylinder engine is quite
fuel-stingy, and it mates very well with either the manual gearbox, that
features a light clutch, or the smooth-shifting six-speed automatic which
includes a Sport mode and information control.
Even compared to other modest cars of its kind, the Hyundai
Accent won't rate very will with the actual NHTSA or the IIHS - It scores four
stars with the federal government, although there are extra notes in regards to
the performance in side crashes. Throughout IIHS testing, the Hyundai Accent
receives a score of 'Poor' about the agency's new small frontal overlap check.
The test was implemented after the Hyundai Accent was designed, and so like
many other older models very easy fare well since it didn't have the luxury of
being designed for it.
The
2015 Hyundai Accent is well-equipped, however, not luxurious.
Unlike in some subcompact types, you won't find leather upholstery, some sort
of navigation system, or a sunroof about the options list--the consequence of a
really simplified set of build combos. For 2013, Hyundai added lots of
additional standard features (including air con and power accessories), while
raising the camp price by about $2, 000. This season the changes are relatively
little, with an updated-and-improved base head unit, a new one-touch turn
transmission, sliding sun visors, and some sort of driver's blind-spot mirror.

2015 Hyundai Accent Review and Release Date
|
For 2015, Hyundai has offered the Accent a light freshening.
There is a new grille design up the front, while GL and GLS types also get
revised headlights and the GLS gets its own sportier taillamp glimpse. Some
feature content has already been moved around and repackaged, there are new wheel
designs, and the inner gets new fabric choices. SE models are also renamed as
Sport.
The Hyundai Accent is one of several Hyundai models that had
its fuel-economy numbers revised after the company overstated them to the
actual EPA. Officially, the 2012 and 2013 models were affected, whilst Hyundai
also downgraded the automatic's area number (from 27 mpg in order to 26) from
2014 to 2015. The 2015 ratings are twenty six mpg city and 37 highway for your
automatic model and 27/38 for those equipped with the manual.
