The Accent was engineered to outperform. It features an engine that provides consistent power in a variety of driving situations and delivers 40 MPG Hwy for greater standard fuel efficiency than any other car in its class.
The all-new Accent features an eco-efficient 1.6L Gamma GDI engine that generates 138 horsepower, a full 25% more power than its predecessor. The Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing helps improve torque and enhance fuel efficiency so you spend less time at the pump. This 4-cylinder can be coupled with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®.
Using less fuel is better for your wallet, and better for the environment. The Accent is engineered to be the class leader in standard fuel efficiency with 40 MPG on the highway for either a manual or an automatic transmission. In fact, it is an 18% improvement over its manual-transmission predecessor and greater than any competitor in its class.
The Accent 4-door has an exceptional coefficient of drag, estimated at a mere 0.30, thanks in part to the aerodynamic improvements in its design. Such improvements include its aerodynamic body, shielded tire and optimized engine undercover to help minimize resistance.
All Accent models with automatic transmission have an Active ECO System that modifies engine and transmission control for improved fuel economy. In fact, based on internal tests this system provides up to a 7% improvement in real-world fuel economy over vehicles without this feature.
The standard low rolling resistance silica tires ensure a more efficient ride. Less friction means less energy needed to get you moving.
