The Hyundai Accent was designed to keep you moving and leave boredom behind. Accent was named a Best Car Buy for 2009 by NADAguides.com among top Sub-compacts under $15,000. We know how important it is to stretch a dollar today and nothing in Hyundai’s lineup of great cars and SUVs stretches a dollar like the Hyundai Accent. Utility can be a wonderful thing if it comes in the form a Chicago Hyundai Accent from World Hyundai Matteson.
Backed by America’s Best Warranty and boasting more interior room than the class-above Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, the thoughtfully designed Accent 4-Door gets up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway and caters to passengers and drivers alike. You can show up in style too as Hyundai has built a great inexpensive vehicle that won’t let you down.
The Accent 4-Door generates 110 horsepower and gets up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway thanks to Continuously Variable Valve Timing, an innovative technology that boosts fuel efficiency at all speeds. It’s also thoughtfully green, a certified Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV).
The Hyundai Accent’s curb appeal is hard to miss, but its reliability is even more attractive. After all it is a Hyundai and that’s what we have all come to expect from this great company. You’ll be turning heads all around Chicago in this car!
During manufacturing, we scan each car’s body using highly sensitive lasers calibrated to detect variances of less than a millimeter. Under such intense scrutiny, tiny flaws or inconsistencies in panel gaps or alignments simply have nowhere to hide. Not many other manufacturers can say they have put that much effort into building a car with a price point so low. That is just how Hyundai does it!
We also rely on one of the most sensitive instruments ever created—our hands—to check crucial nuts, bolts, cables, and power components. They’re just part of the hundreds of stringent quality checks each Accent has to pass as it moves along the line. Trained assembly people will check and recheck your car for any flaws before giving it a passing grade.
Finally, each Accent faces a 4.97-mile test-drive to ferret out any little squeaks, creaks, or rattles that can’t be detected on the factory floor. Every button, function, and system also gets checked carefully. If it can’t pass the muster, it can’t wear a Hyundai badge.
Sound excessive for such an affordable car? Not if you expect that car to live up to America’s Best Warranty. Hyundai, Smart Move.
As you drive a car, its frame tends to twist back and forth. If the frame flexes too much, however, the ride can become mushy and indistinct.
The Hyundai Accent’s unibody is 39% more rigid than its predecessor. That not only makes it safer, it also produces more precise handling and steering and a smoother and quieter ride.
To make that quiet even more quiet, they also employed triple door seals and improved the engine’s isolation to reduce its noise and vibration.
The net effect is a peaceful, sure-footed ride, which raises a worthwhile point about the Accent. When considering a car, what you get is certainly important. But so is what you don’t. Hyundai is always looking out for you, even in a car like the Accent.
The Hyundai Accent’s economical 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine delivers up to 36 miles per gallon. With 110 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque, it’s perfect for both stop-and-go city driving as well as worry-free on-ramp entry. Power is not something you will have to worry about when the time comes.
Its spirited responsiveness comes courtesy of double overhead cams and Continuously Variable Valve Timing, an innovative technology that perfectly times the engine’s intake and exhaust valves. That widens the power band, boosts fuel efficiency at all speeds, and smooths the idle.
The Accent also offers a choice of transmissions. Choose from a sporty five-speed manual transmission or a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic that utilizes intelligent gearing ratios for improved fuel economy at freeway speeds.What was that line again about good things coming in small packages? No matter what your driving preference, you can’t go wrong in a Hyundai Accent.
The Hyundai Accent’s efficient Alpha-series engine is the product of a multimillion dollar investment into powertrain research.
Its remarkable quality and reliability come not just from its engineering, but its top-notch construction as well. But again, this is Hyundai we’re talking about. Would you expect any less?
Each engine is painstakingly assembled by hand to exacting standards. So exact, in fact, that as a final quality check, each engine is run without fluids. Unless the machining and assembly are precisely to spec, the engine doesn’t leave the factory. This is truly an amazing set of standards that Hyundai has created for itself. We are always striving to be the best.
The end result is an engine truly worthy of its industry leading 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Hyundai has long been a leader in safety. We were the first among our competitors to make side-impact airbags standard on all our models, and the Accent continues that tradition.
It comes with dual front, dual front side-impact, and two side-curtain airbags. Six airbags in total. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that this combination can reduce fatalities by 45%. Hyundai is thinking about your family every time it builds an Accent.
Those front airbags are also intelligent. They can automatically adjust their deployment speed based on impact speed and seat position. This provides you with an even safer ride.
But what good are all those airbags if they go off even a fraction of a second too late? That’s why our airbag systems are constructed with gold-plated electrical connectors—to help ensure accurate and reliable deployment. As any engineer worth his salt can tell you, gold resists corrosion in a way no other metal does. So that airbag system will have as much integrity years from now as it did the day you drove the car off the lot. Ever hear the term ‘as good as gold’? How about ‘as good as Hyundai’?
The Hyundai Accent uses a four-sensor four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help keep you and your passengers safe (optional).
ABS works by rapidly pulsing the brakes of each wheel as necessary to help prevent wheel lockup during emergency maneuvers or while braking under slippery road conditions. This helps stop the loss of control, the prime cause of accidents.
EBD works in tandem with ABS by balancing the braking forces at each wheel under dynamic conditions, again helping you to maintain control.
Together, they form a system of active safety (technologies that help avoid accidents in the first place, not just reduce their effects) that can offer peace of mind for miles to come. And that is just what Hyundai wants you to enjoy: peace of mind when driving.
Settle into a Hyundai Accent’s seat and it is clear our engineers have actually studied homosapiens. Roomy, supportive, and comfortable, they’re upholstered with a durable yet breathable cloth that inspires driving confidence by actually helping to hold you in place. Who else would think of something like this?
Considerable thought, too, was devoted to the Accent’s ergonomics. From the gearshift to the climate controls to the numerous storage spaces and cup-holders, everything feels convenient and within easy reach. Again, something Hyundai knows you will appreciate in your day to day drive.
And while the Accent’s spacious interior is eye opening, it has also been designed to help keep your eyes where they belong—on the road.
The radio, for instance, is mounted higher, so you don’t have to look away when switching from AC/DC to Taylor Swift. The speedometer and tachometer use bright easy-to-read fonts, while all dials are large, intuitively placed, and easy to use.
That’s interior design that goes beyond simple cosmetics.
For storage, no less than ten easy-to-reach compartments have been placed throughout the interior. These include an in-dash storage box, a passenger-side seat back pocket, and front door map pockets, which we’ve seen used for snacks, laptops, and an outfield’s worth of baseball gloves.
