All New Hyundai Accent – Space with Style

Hyundai has totally redesigned the New Accent for 2006 with new styling, new interior, more powerful engine, sophisticated suspension, and more standard safety equipment

First Glance: Value never looked so good
If fuel prices are ugly, then small is certainly beautiful. Add additional priorities like quality, value for money and driving pleasure, and one might be tempted to suggest that Hyundai’s New Accent is downright gorgeous.

Compared to the previous model the 2006 New Accent offers more interior roominess and remarkably large trunk. The New Accent encompasses a handsome, rounded profile featuring a roofline that sweeps from hood to trunk in one long curve. Head and taillights make a statement of their own: they're huge.

In the Driver's Seat: Sense and Sensibility
Any thoughts of "cheap" fly out the window when you climb into the seat of this little beauty. The dashboard, for example, speaks of quality with its curvaceous, two-tone effect, while instruments and controls are nicely laid out. All within easy reach and operable without taking one's eyes off the road.

Sightlines - what you can see outside when seated - are excellent all-round, making for a safer, more relaxed journey. The high roof provides easy access and means tall people fit comfortably.
The New Accent's 1.4 liter 4-cylinder DOHC engine, with continuously variable valve timing, now produces horsepower of 95 ps and while it idles quietly and cruises in relative silence.
Remarkably for its price, the New Accent has a sophisticated 4-wheel-independent suspension system. Combine this with a wider track, longer wheelbase and larger wheels and tires than its forebears, and you have a small sedan that handles in a sporting manner while still delivering a smooth ride.
That, friends, is a lot of car for little money. Especially when you consider the reputation for quality that's making everyone sit up and take notice; even major Japanese manufacturers are listening.
It is ideally suited to today's economics, particularly fuel costs, and New Accent offers what most drivers need. The interior is roomy, the trunk spacious, the ride comfortable and normally quiet. Those who like to add a little "spirit" to their driving needn't be disappointed, New Accent has enough oomph for all tastes.

The 2006 New Accent is number four in Hyundai’s “24/7” campaign to release seven new models over the next twenty-four months. It follows the Tucson, Sonata and Azera and precedes the next Santa Fe, an as-yet-unnamed minivan, and a new Elantra.
