The all-new Accent has been designed and engineered to provide power with fuel efficiency. The lightweight Gamma 1.6L engine uses continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) to deliver the precise air-fuel mixture required to meet engine demands and minimise fuel consumption. This, coupled with an aerodynamic body that minimises the coefficient of drag, adds up to a remarkable performance.

The all-new Accent’s Gamma 1.6 CVVT engine utilises an aluminium block, low friction moving parts and CVVT technology to deliver up to 91kW of power at 6,300rpm while producing 156Nm of torque at 4200rpm. Combined fuel consumption is a low 6.0L/100km (manual) and 6.4L/100km (automatic)*.

Hyundai has engineered the all-new Accent’s transmissions so that they do not require servicing under normal driving conditions. The new ergonomic 5-speed Manual transmission includes a redesigned reverse gear selection for easier operation. The Automatic transmission (pictured) features HiVec (Hyundai intelligent Vehicle Electronic control), with overdrive and lock-up converter, that adapts to your driving style. It also offers a sports mode for more dynamic driving.

To provide maximum ride comfort, the all-new Accent’s suspension and steering has been specifically tuned to meet Australia’s unique road conditions. The long wheelbase of the new Accent contributes to a smooth ride with enhanced stability. Comprehensive use of sealing and sound muffling materials ensures a quite, refined drive.

The all-new Accent is proud to have attained an ANCAP 5 star rating, the highest for a motor vehicle in Australia. Equipped with a wide range of active and passive safety measures designed to help avoid accidents and minimise the effects of a collision. The all-new Accent features 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC incorporating TCS and Vehicle Stability Management (VSM).

The all-new Accent provides a high level of structural safety through the use of high tensile-strength steel, side intrusion beams and the integration of a Collision Load Dispersion mechanism that distributes the force of an impact in three ways to minimize floor deformation and maintain the integrity of the cabin. Overall chassis stiffness has been improved by 18%.

The six airbag system consists of driver and front passenger side thorax airbags as well as curtain airbags for front and rear seat passengers.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) enhances safety under emergency braking situations by preventing your brakes from locking up and distributing braking force according to your vehicle’s load.

In an emergency manoeuvre, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle on track, while Hyundai’s Traction Control System (TCS) monitors your grip, reducing wheel spin so that you can accelerate on slippery or uneven road surfaces.

The all-new Accent features the advanced safety of Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). This state-of-the-art technology helps maintain control of the vehicle by applying counter-steering assistance, guiding the driver to the correct steering direction. This innovative safety technology combines the intelligence of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS) to help maintain the correct steering position in instances where the driver reacts too slowly or tries to steer in the incorrect direction to maintain vehicle control.

When you are reversing, a camera built into the rear boot/hatch handle of the all-new Accent displays the area behind the vehicle on an LCD screen that’s integrated into the rear-view mirror. (Premium only).

Body-coloured sensors mounted on the rear bumper enhance safety while reversing by sounding an audible alarm when an obstacle is detected. (Premium only).

To avoid unwanted entry whilst you are in the car, the all-new Accent offers extra personal security through the speed-activated Hyundai Active Locking Operation (HALO) system, which locks all the doors while you are driving, and then unlocks them once the key is removed from the ignition. Front seat occupants can override the system to easily exit the car.

An authorised Hyundai Dealer can independently deactivate HALO feature.
