Accent
05 Jul 2007
Hyundai Accent provides a comfortable drive, with a feeling of luxury thrown in. Cup-holders, draw-out trays of tetrapacks and aluminium beverage cans are some of the features that recreate the feeling of sitting in a cosy, well-appointed room.
The superbly silent AC system in the Accent is designed to maintain a comfortable ambience. Irrespective of the outside temperature, the ultra-sensitive automatic temperature sensors, coupled with the powerful air-conditioner and heating systems, deliver multidirectional airflow through specially designed flow control ducts.
A four-cylinder 1495cc Alpha engine powers the Hyundai Accent. It has three valves per cylinder and aluminium alloy cylinder head. High velocity intake and exhaust ports, tumble airflow, dual intake valves, asymmetric rockers and harmonically balanced cranks are some the design elements that make for power refinement and economy.
Accent is indeed a luxury sedan.
