HD 2018 Hyundai Accent | CarGurus Test Drive Review

Shop the new Hyundai Accent: Hyundai’s 2018 Accent is a cost-effective sedan with an unbeatable warranty but not a lot of thrills or luxury. The redesigned Accent is no longer available in hatchback form, takes some visual cues from larger Hyundais, and looks more upscale than past versions, but it’s still a totally practical option available at a great price. Our reviewer recommends some features available only to premium trims, but even the flagship Limited has an MSRP of less than $19K. All Accents use a 130-hp 1.6-liter 4-cylinder with 119 lb-ft of torque redesigned to improve efficiency and power in the city. A 6-speed manual is available only in the base trim, with all others using a 6-speed automatic our reviewer found slow in responding to input. The Accent packs 90 cubic feet of passenger space, putting it into competition with compacts, rather than subcompacts, and while every Accent includes Bluetooth and a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available only to the SEL and Limited.
