Hyundai Accent 2021

Hyundai Accent Overview

Hyundai Philippines has finally brought the 2019 Accent in the local showrooms. Now on its fifth-generation, the all-new Hyundai Accent offers a sight of the brand's latest design language in a sedan package. The new look features the brand's signature 'Cascading Grille', along with the new headlight and fog lamp shapes, creating a more striking appeal, bringing it closer to its big brother, Elantra compact sedan. More changes are seen in the cabin. The all-new Hyundai Accent comes with a simpler yet curvier dashboard. This is accentuated by blue illumination, piano black, and satin chrome accents in the interior. High-level variants get leather upholstery, plus the upgrade of a push button start/stop engine. Powering the all-new Hyundai Accent sedan is a 1.6-liter CRDi diesel engine with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. For the gasoline variants, there's the 1.4-liter Kappa engine that puts out 99 hp and 132 Nm of torque. The gasoline mill is also available with a six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.

  Fuel economy is great. And considering diesel is cheaper than gasoline, I'd suggest you get the CRDi variant whether A/T or M/T.
  
  As for driving performance, the CRDi A/T performs well. You would immediately feel the speed upon releasing the brakes. Acceleration is also quick and responsive. I didn't notice any turbo lags or delays. All in all it's really fast enough.
  
  When it comes to comfort, you won't feel any pot holes that much. The ride is smooth and silent. The only downside is no matter how you drive slowly, once you hit the brakes you'll immediately feel it. That abrupt stopping/slowing down makes me a little dizzy.
  
  Looking at the outside, you will immediately notice the evolution from the previous generation. It appears to be designed with European standards with only a little hint of Asian styling. The latest gen Accent really grew bigger compared to the last one and its design obviously became more mature. Although I wish HARI included fog lamps since we bought the top-of-the-line.
  
  On the inside, there's nothing much. All plastic, no leather. However, it's to be expected since it's a subcompact sedan. Although that would've been a plus since the top-of-the-line exceeds the one million price tag. We upgraded the head unit to a 9-inch infotainment system complete with Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and a reverse camera which is outstanding. With that, your dashboard won't be boring anymore and there are other benefits like voice commands using either Google Voice or Siri.
  Other features on the inside are pretty much basic like power windows and door locks.
  
  We have yet to try squeezing five people inside so it'll be hard to say if it's spacious enough but looking at it, I'd say it's pretty enough. It can really compete with the Honda City or Nissan Almera when it comes to interior space. Lastly, the trunk space will surprise you. It's huge and can compete with the brands and models I mentioned when it comes to trunk space. Plus, there's a light in it so really a win for this one.
  
  When it comes to safety and security, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is the only feature I know it has. Keyless Entry is also an option which should've been standard on the CRDi but unfortunately it isn't.
  
  In total, the fifth generation Hyundai Accent is a great buy and you can save a lot of fuel money for years to come if you sacrifice your money for the CRDi variant. If, however, gasoline is not an issue for you then you can try other feature-packed contenders. The advantage of Accent is that it is the cheapest decent passenger car with a diesel engine, and the only sedan with a diesel engine in the Philippine market.
