Accent

Hyundai's smallest and least-expensive vehicle is relaunched for 2006 and provides added power and becomes larger and more stylish-looking in the process. Sharing platforms and components with the Kia Rio, the new Accent is longer, wider, and taller than before, with added backseat legroom, increased shoulder clearance, and more available headroom. Coming only in a single trim level, the GLS sedan, the Accent comes wrapped in contemporary-looking bodywork, with halogen headlights, and larger wheels and tires. A new 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) delivers 110 horsepower; it can be teamed with either a five-speed manual gearbox, or a four-speed automatic. Power rack-and-pinion steering is standard, as are no less than six airbags, including front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted front/rear side curtain airbags. A 60/40-split fold-down rear seat expands the trunk's cargo-carrying abilities and comes with a folding center armrest that sports dual cupholders. All Hyundais are backed by a five-year/60,000 comprehensive warranty, with ten-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain coverage.
