Mazda MAZDA6 vs. Hyundai Accent Review

Utility
The Hyundai Accent and the Mazda MAZDA6 can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Performance
As far as horsepower, the Mazda packs quite a wallop and will knock the Hyundai down a few rungs. On the flip side, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Mazda MAZDA6 is tremendously heavier than the Hyundai Accent. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Mazda MAZDA6 than the Hyundai Accent because of its bigger tank. The Hyundai Accent fits in smaller parking spaces than the Mazda MAZDA6. The Mazda MAZDA6's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the Accent may give a more agile feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Hyundai Accent to the dealership as the Mazda MAZDA6. When it comes to MSRP, the Hyundai Accent costs tremendously less than the Mazda MAZDA6.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Accent and the Mazda MAZDA6 most definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Mazda MAZDA6's engine is tremendously larger than the Hyundai Accent's. Note that more sizeable engines may use more gas than smaller ones. The Hyundai Accent could learn a lesson or two from the Mazda MAZDA6 with respect to torque.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Hyundai Accent offers a bit more head room than the MAZDA6, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Mazda MAZDA6 make it considerably more spacious for your passengers than the Hyundai.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the MAZDA6 isn't quite as generous as the Hyundai's.
