New 2009 Hyundai Accent

You wouldn’t think it, but when it comes to fuel economy, affordability and standard features, the 2009 Hyundai Accent proves to be on the best overall values on the road today.

Building on impressive fuel efficiency, the Accent raises its own bar to 26-27 MPG in the city and 33-35 MPG on the highway. The Accent is synonymous with versatility and is available in the base GS and sporty SE two-door hatchback or the GLS four-door sedan. Both the hatchback and sedan come with a 1.6-liter, 110-horsepower I-4 engine that is mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. SE models feature an upgraded, sport-tuned suspension and B&M racing sport shifter to provide sharper handling and crisp, short-throw shifting. The Accent is so trusted that J.D. Power and Associates named the 2009 Accent the “Most dependable sub-compact car”. According to that statement, the Accent beats out the likes of the Chevrolet Aveo, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris.

When it comes to interior room, the Accent has more than the Honda Civic and Toyota Carolla, and has the most of any 3-door in its class. Amenities include a standard 8-way adjustable driver seat to find that perfect driving position. The 60/40 split folding rear seat creates a generous amount of rear cargo room. An available CD audio system with 6 speakers and 172 watts provides excellent audio quality. SE models add standard air conditioning, fog lights, power windows, locks, and mirrors, and a remote keyless entry system.   A sunroof and cruise control are new optional features that will liven up your drive. And just in case you questioned the Accent’s durability, a 10-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty should erase any doubts.

Hyundai knows that small cars can make big impacts. That’s why dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side impact airbags, and roof-mounted side curtain airbags come standard to protect front and rear passengers in a collision. An available anti-lock braking system and Electronic Brake-force Distribution help prevent wheel lockup and maintain control on slippery surfaces. The standard tire pressure monitoring system alerts the driver to any significant drops in pressure.

When it comes time to purchase your new car, look at the facts. An unbeatable warranty, excellent fuel economy, abundant safety features and several amenities prove the 2009 Hyundai Accent to be one of the smartest purchases you can make.
