Overview

Having been redesigned in 2018, the Hyundai Accentpromises to be an enticing option in the subcompact sedan class. It is one of the most affordable offerings available in the market today, with prices starting as low as $16,000. But despite its accessible nature, the Accent is resiliently built and structurally sound. It comes with a comprehensive warranty package and since belongs to a user-friendly brand, even its after-sales service is amply impressive. It nails the brief of being a perfect family hauler and delivers class-leading performance with its top-notch frugality and engine options. 

 

With minor changes to its trim structure, the 2019 Hyundai Accent remains largely unchanged. It’s still the capacious sedan that vaunts an ergonomic setup and further adds to its likability with its refined driving demeanor. While it is not the quickest option in its class, the Accent’s high safety and reliability ratings make it an instant superstar. In its segment, the Korean sedan competes with the likes of the Mitsubishi Mirage G4, the Toyota Yaris, and the Nissan Versa.

Buying Advice

Absolutely! The Hyundai Accent name tag has registered phenomenal success ever since it was first introduced. Now, the vehicle is a part of its fifth generation, yet its capabilities remain unquestioned. It is the perfect daily driver and has cemented its place with its ergonomic design and setup. While it has its set of flaws, the subcompact sedan is what traditional buyers in the segment are looking for without having to splurge considerably.

              Great little car

              Pros - ["gas mileage is great", "very dependable"]

              Cons - ["kind of smaller inside than I would prefer", "closed transmission system, can't check/change fluid"]

              Has a lot of get up n go when you need power it's there. We tend to average about 38 mpg because we do mainly highway driving. Interior is nice, and easy to clean and maintain. We've had no problems with it in the 2 years we've owned it.

              Hyundai Accent: Reliable, Affordable, and An Easy Ride.

              Pros - ["The car is great on gas and I have gotten up to 43 miles mpg. Your average mile range after filling up is between 350-400.", "The car drives smooth and handles well. Even though it is a compact sedan, the car withstands weather conditions, road conditions, and other drivers as well."]

              Cons - ["The car can go through oil more than other sedans similar in size and makeup.", "The car's seats are not accommodating for people over 6 foot tall. It is a compact sedan and that has to be considered if you are 6 foot and up."]

              My Hyundai Accent has proved to be reliable, affordable, and an overall easy ride in more than a few ways. From buying my Accent with 14k miles on it and currently having 78k on it, it has had no major issues. Other than regular maintenance (brakes, rotors, tires, oil changes), I've had a recall fixed. Another way the Accent screams reliability is the miles per gallon. At it's best, I've gotten m...
