Overview

The 2013 Hyundai Accent makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact sedan class. With standalone trim on offer, the Hyundai Accent has a base MSRP of $14,545. 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 a 6-speed manual transmission. Together, they produce 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 8.8 seconds, the Accent maintains a combined fuel economy of 32 MPG. Hyundai offers the Accent in 8 stunning colors, with the Century White being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

For just $1,000, Hyundai offers a 6-speed automatic transmission as an optional. It also makes the 2013 Accent Sedan eligible for the Premium Package worth $1,200 which doesn’t come with the manual transmission.
