Hyundai Accent (06-09) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
The Hyundai Accent Atlantic was launched in 2006 as a special edition of the Accent range. However, this Accent was significantly different from previous versions of the car with improved quality, more appealing styling and a new engine. Only one version of the Accent Atlantic is available, and it's a three-door model. Customers had the choice of an optional four-speed automatic transmission and metallic paint as the only extras. Good value, and Hyundai's warranty offers reassurance against faults for five years.

Safety

A fairly low airbag count at two (driver and passenger), and ABS has been fitted to mainstream cars in Europe since 2004, so no great effort seems to have been made here.

Reliability

Hyundais are generally reliable, and up to five years old the Accent Atlantic is covered by a comprehensive warranty, so owners have a good degree of reassurance that the car should behave itself.
