Overview

The 2011 Hyundai Accent makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact sedan class. With a standalone trim on offer, the Hyundai Accent has a base MSRP of $13,695. It competes directly with the Kia Rio, the Ford Fiesta, and the Chevrolet Sonic. Only a 1.6L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 110 horsepower and 106 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.4 seconds, the Accent maintains a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG. Hyundai offers the Accent in 9 stunning colors, with the Platinum Silver being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Hyundai Accent comes in a single trim level that offers no frills. The Premium Equipment Group is a must-have to gain your hands on keyless entry, power accessories, and more.
