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.
