2006 - 2010 Hyundai Accent

[carlocaraddict]

from autoindex.org

Over the years, Hyundai and value have become synonymous. Now, with the introduction of the all-new 2006 Accent, Hyundai raises the bar, delivering a higher level of value and sophistication in the small car class.

This third-generation Accent delivers class-leading safety features and a powerful, fuel-efficient CVVT engine, all wrapped in a sleek, new exterior design. The new Accent is also larger in every exterior dimension, which translates into the most interior volume for a sedan in its class. All this provides today's drivers with affordable and reliable transportation that's refined, confident and comfortable.

"The Accent has always been a popular vehicle, but recently, this segment has become highly competitive," said Robert F. Cosmai, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "We believe drivers will once again embrace this all-new Accent with its segment-leading standard safety features, increased interior space, and content that is typically not available in this segment, all of which should accelerate this Accent to the front of the pack."

This new Accent is more elegant than its predecessor with crisp modern lines, distinctive halogen headlights, and larger wheels and tires that combined provide a strong character. Compared to the competition, Accent has a more refined appearance with body-color door handles, mirrors, bodyside molding, and rear tailgate garnish. The roof-mounted rod antenna not only looks good, but also provides exceptional reception.

The new Accent is roomier than the current model and, more importantly, the competition. Compared to the out-going 2005 model, the 2006 Accent is 1.8 inches longer overall, providing 1.5 inches of greater rear legroom. It's 1.0 inch wider, which translates to class-leading rear shoulder room of 53.1 inches. It's 3.0 inches taller, delivering 0.7 inch of greater front headroom. And, it rides on a wheelbase stretched by 2.3 inches. With an interior volume of 104.4 cubic feet, Accent delivers the most interior volume (passenger and cargo) for a sedan in its class.

"We're really moving the needle on interior packaging with the 2006 Accent," said Robert F. Cosmai. "Increasing the height of the vehicle 3 inches and moving the driver's seating position up 2 inches opens up all kinds of room and flexibility in the cabin. We used this to our advantage in the new Accent - although it's only 1.8 inches longer, it feels like it's moved up a whole class in interior roominess."

The 2006 Accent comes in one well-equipped body style, the GLS sedan. Class-leading safety features include dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted side curtain airbags for both front and outboard rear seat occupants. Standard side curtain airbags provide an important advantage for Accent owners, as this feature is optional or not available on most models in this class. All Accents come equipped with front seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, which are designed to tighten the seatbelt in the event of a collision. All seating positions have adjustable headrests that can assist in the event of a rear accident, and the rear headrests are shingle-style for improved rear visibility.

Under the hood, Accent has the most powerful engine in its class. It's new 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) delivers 110 horsepower and 107 lbs.-ft. of torque (estimated). This new technology not only enhances power output, it also reduces emissions - the new Accent is projected to receive Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) certification. It comes teamed with a 5-speed manual transmission, or an optional 4-speed automatic.

The interior design has also moved upscale with a new, distinctive two-tone color scheme. Standard equipment includes an AM/FM/CD audio system with 4 speakers, a convenient tilt steering wheel, 8-way driver's seat with adjustable armrest, driver and passenger vanity mirrors, front seatback pockets, and a versatile 60/40 split fold-down rear seat that has a folding center armrest with dual cupholders. For added comfort, air conditioning and a Convenience Package are available. The Convenience Package includes power windows featuring driver's auto down, illuminated switches on all four doors, and driver's side power window reserve, power heated mirrors, and power door locks with keyless entry with panic, and 6 speakers.

The 2006 Accent features a surprising level of storage. Accent delivers greater trunk space than its predecessor with an additional 0.8 cubic feet of space for a total of 12.4 cubic feet. Accent has plenty of areas in which to store items, too. There's a bottle holder and storage pockets located in every door panel, plus storage trays are located in the front and rear.

"Today's drivers are more demanding, whether they're in the market for a luxury sedan, like our all-new Azera, or looking for maximum value at an affordable price, which the new Accent delivers," said Cosmai, "This is just another example of how Hyundai is responding to the needs of American drivers and providing them with vehicles that are fun to drive and economical to own."

The all-new, affordable Accent delivers a comfortable ride and responsive handling thanks to a front MacPherson strut suspension with coil springs, and a coupled torsion beam rear suspension with coil springs. Unlike some of its competitors, Accent has standard power rack-and-pinion steering for precise feel.

Leave it to Hyundai to deliver everything a small car driver could want, in the form of the all-new 2006 Hyundai Accent.

The Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty
As with every vehicle Hyundai sells in the U.S., every 2006 Accent comes equipped with The Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty, a package that reflects Hyundai's confidence in the quality of its products.

The Hyundai Advantage includes limited bumper-to-bumper coverage for five years or 60,000 miles, which exceeds the coverage on many cars costing more than twice as much. In addition, Accent buyers receive 24-hour roadside assistance coverage at no extra charge for five years (no mileage limit) and that service includes emergency towing, lockout service and limited coverage for trip-interruption expenses.

Hyundai also provides Accent buyers with industry-leading limited powertrain coverage - 10 years or 100,000 miles - and that coverage remains in effect when ownership of the car is transferred to other family members. Even if the car is sold, Hyundai backs Accent's powertrain for 5 years/60,000 miles. Anti-perforation coverage is provided for seven years/unlimited miles. There is no deductible on any of these coverages.

Hyundai and its corporate sibling Kia made their names by building entry-level cars for first-time buyers. The 2006 Accent continues that tradition.

Sharing the architecture of the Kia Rio, the foor-door, third-generation Accent is longer, wider, taller and roomier than the previous Accent. It has a less extended rear end and a more stylized and prominent C-pillar than the Rio.

The new Accent comes only in one trim level, GLS; gone for now is the GT trim.

Residing in an automobile class not known for its power, the Accent holds a 1.6-liter four-cylinder that produces 110 horsepower. A four-speed-automatic or five-speed-manual transmission is available.

The low-priced vehicle comes standard with six airbags. The Accent also features a 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty. Eventually, XM Satellite Radio will come standard as well, the company said.

The Accent is due to arrive at dealerships this fall. Hyundai has not yet announced the price of the car.

If you just need a car for point A to B i'd prefer the celerio more of city use. Kung you need the space and will use the car about 15k kms and above per year i'd choose the diesel. On diesel engines the more kms you use it the more economical but kung short trips lang mostly better get the gas variant.

Diesels mas mahal konti maintenance. More oil needed sa change oil. Filters mas mahal wether oil or air filters. Major Engine parts mas mahal compared sa gas. If your turbo breaks down also pricey din. Sa gas engine lesser ang cost to maintain.

Akala ng iba vehicle expert ako kaya daming nagtatanong sa akin. hehehehe
Kaya itutuloy ko na ang pagpangap.

Guys, kumusta po ang accent 2006-2010. Meron akong friend going home from Saudi.
Plano niyang mag negosyo nang maliit , kailangan kotse importante matipid sa gas kahit small car. Ang budget niya
is 200,000 +/- 30,000 pesos.

Kinokonsider niya iyong matipid sa gasolina So ang iniisip niya is Alto, Celerio, Picanto, mirage, i10, eon, and pumasok nga ang Accent kasi kahit hinde small car matipid naman yata sa Diesel?

Kumusta po ba ang Accent na 2009 model diesel? worth it bang bilhin or mas mabuti pa small car nalang talaga.

[dr. d]

get an old altis or an old vios, siguro.
parts should be a'plenty, for repairs.

buying a pre-owned car is always a gamble.
"did the previous owner take good care of it or not?"

kung sa tipid, hands down sa hyundai accent CRDi... kahit yung officemate ko, pag ginamit nag palit daw sila ng erpats nya ng oto, napaka tipid daw talaga yung accent compared sa honda city nya.. both manual yun ha..

yung neighbor namin, may 2009 accent din, mukhang wala sya balak ibenta eh, at enjoy sa tipid at tibay nung kotse..

check din sya sa mga repo, madami yung latest model ng accent na diesel dun.. puro manual lang

madalas complain dyan si yung mga rubber bushings sa harap,.. pero madali lang palitan

[carlocaraddict]

cool.

[kotiko]

Vios + Optra = Accent! :D ehehe

[KrisKros]

Its.....ok. It doesnt stand out among the other "regular" cars we see on a daily basis. If i saw it, I wouldn't give it another glance, once is enough. The only car I like from Hyundai..is the Hyundai Tiburon aka the Coupe.




In the states, it costs as much as Hondas n Corollas.. so affordable... pero dito.. not so common, so, mataas ng price yan d2.
