Hyundai Accent

Introduced in 1995, the Accent has long been one of Hyundai's most affordable models. But its low price hasn't kept the Accent from evolving into one of the best options in the subcompact segment. Its most recent generation, which debuted in 2018, offers a stylish exterior design, a comfortable and well-equipped interior, and a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers adequate performance for daily driving along with impressive fuel economy. However, the Accent isn't without some downsides. For instance, some find its engine less refined than the competition. Additionally, many desirable tech features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and forward collision mitigation, are either optional or limited to higher trim levels. Buyers should also note that Hyundai discontinued the Accent after the 2022 model year.
