We are getting used to the idea of the desirable small cars, but the idea of a desirable Hyundai feels crisp and fresh. (The 2011 Hyundai Sonata was the first to land on our list of 10). The latest creation to invent the Korean company has revitalized a car, hoping to marry the convenience novel two, the Accent. Stylistically, it is an evolution of the ability of the company that made its debut on the Sonata, though it seems less "Faces of Volkswagen CC" in this small package.
As it was in its previous generation Accent is available in either four-door sedan or an odd number of doors. This time, the latter ranging from three-door and five-door hatchback / wagon. (The five-door, as is the case with most of today's compact, looks better than the sedan.) In a role reversal, the sedan is now cheaper of the two body styles, with the dolly base is more than $ 2,000 more than the four doors. Overall length is now 172.0 inches to 162.0 for the sedan and wagon. Both ride on a wheelbase of 101.2 inches, which is 2.8 longer than the outgoing model. "The width is 0.2 inches to 66.9. (It is also important to 22 percent of the platform increases the rigidity of its predecessor.)
Standard height-adjustable driver's seat means that escaped from the circus freaks have a pretty face. Even if the passengers in the rear seat of the sedan 0.6-inch head space in the sacrifice is not only a significant impact on the volume calculations, is a critical loss for the riders along. Another reason to favor the dimensions of the loading doors. It can hold 21 cubic feet behind the rear seat, compared to the sedan 14 to swallow the load. Hyundai says that the 14 cubic meters is enough for four golf clubs that may be involved only if they are loose. Although the sedan's rear seat is a 60/40 split folds to place items longer, you can visit 48 cubic feet, if you drop the rear seats of cars.
Sorority Who Stole My Letters?
Under the hood is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder, in Gamma-voiced Hyundai books and also see an obligation under the hood Veloster to come. The aluminum block will help undercut its predecessor, the new engine weighs 40 pounds. Changing the timing of both intake and exhaust cams and direct injection, four makes 138 hp and 123 Nm of torque, both of which are easily my competitors rank higher than most of its competitors. Honda Fit Musters 117, Ford 120, the new Nissan Versa 109, and the Mazda 2 small feather-100. (Only in 2012 Chevrolet Sonic can not be compared to one of the 138 hp engines.) Has estimated that from 2450-2650 pounds, Accent buses do not have to lug around a lot (if any) plus the weight of the crowd. The power passes through both a manual or automatic transmission, along with six speeds, the front wheels.
The automatic transmission comes with Hill Start Assist to prevent back when you stop, a function much more useful with the manuals, but it is not available on the Accent stick shift.
In the short road, we have not had the opportunity to test the automatic transmission, but did not find the manual half satisfactory. The shifter is light and crisp, with jets significantly short, but the clutch is a disappointment. Offers nearly zero, even if you feel not so empty and soulless as a clutch Toyota and uses only the first two or three inches from his long journey. But Hyundai says that nearly 20 percent of buyers choose to emphasize their own ranks. They can not let the clutch in the most rewarding business, but these customers also applaud. Cars with a transmission of an "Eco" mode, which modifies the crossing points on the autopilot manual to get an arrow in the IP address that makes them totally upshift too soon.
While boasting the power of Hyundai Accent class leading to weight ratio makes the engine not all have the effect we hoped. Like almost all similar diminutive engines, the 1.6 does not do much until the higher rpm. Power builds smoothly, however, and the engine seems happy enough to be wound on. Accent achieves EPA fuel economy numbers of 30 mpg city and 40 highway regardless of transmission choice, although the manual will have a more mpg in the EPA combined test: 34 vs. 33rd Hyundai says the car should be 9, 4 seconds to reach 60 km / h with a manual and 9.8 with an automatic, we can neither confirm nor deny this when we started to fall asleep at 49 km / h, but we believe the cars will be slightly faster at 8.8 and 9.3 seconds. Cars in this class is not intended to be rocket sleds, naturally, and Accent will be enough for most buyers Peppy. But the pace is a reminder that it's really an economy car.
Rather on the inside
Drivers may need this reminder, because it looks like an economy car inside. The interior is typical of the current Hyundai car, with luxury materials throughout. The satin silver and piano black high-level models are elegant enough to be within a supportive environment cosmopolitan. Note that we are not asking that the stress of a dumpster, even in the lowest levels of finish available with the combination of silver and black high quality materials and thoughtful design that the car feel much richer its low price might suggest.
The seats are very comfortable, with soft supports that are so discreet you never knew were there before he was on the basis that in the corners. Again, the demands on the sides will not be very high. With MacPherson strut front suspension and rear torsion beam, the accent is very slick and smooth, but almost to a fault. While it is wonderfully quiet on the road, the sponge docks struggle to control body movements. Curves aggressive movements of the body seems the chief of all the torsion axle, engage the trajectory control. Hyundai, however, probably will not try to tell them that this is an economy car for the enthusiast. Accent is a calm and relaxed affordable transportation. Let the sportiness of the Honda Fit or a used GTI.
Warning: the list to go
The material point of view, Hyundai leave almost nothing to its competitors. The list of standard equipment and optional bed, as if the product planners went through similar documents to all individual competitors and said yes to everything. Presentations based standard GLS Sedan $ 13,205 includes adjustable front head restraints, disc brakes on all four wheels, a tilt steering wheel, power driver's seat of six locks, and front, side curtain airbags front and two occupies the place. The automatic transmission is part of an upgrade of $ 2750 including air conditioning, power windows and mirrors, and a sound system with six premium speakers, CD player, satellite radio, and USB and auxiliary input jacks. Less automatically, all these things can be added to manual car for $ 1750.
The five-door starts at $ 15.355 GS trim, which includes all the latest sedans based on the stereo, electric windows, mirrors and locks, and keyless entry. Automatic option is $ 1,200 for the GS door, and even cruise control NABS. At the top is a caravan SE, which adds cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, Bluetooth, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an elegant piano-black interior, 16-inch aluminum wheels and rear spoiler. Automatic is $ 1000 as an alternative independent SE.
Although complete a compact car is a bit 'stiffer and more, the new Accent should be left to the buyers want very little. This is an attractive and appreciate the deep blue, vibrant red, brown and metallic green electric-design options, a well-equipped, and one of the most affordable new car on the market today. In other words, it is desirable for a small car again, and again hoped Hyundai.
