Year to Year Changes
1996 Hyundai Accent:
A sporty new GT with a more-potent, 105-horsepower, dual-overhead-cam engine arrived early in '96. Unique GT features included a firmer suspension and performance tires on 14-inch alloy wheels, a tachometer, rear spoiler, fog lamps, full cloth interior trim, and a stereo system with four speakers.
1997 Hyundai Accent:
Sedans adopted a GL designation this year, while base hatchbacks were called GS.
1998 Hyundai Accent:
Hyundai dropped the GT model and its 105-horsepower engine for '98. Other changes include revised front and rear fascias and new headlights.
1999 Hyundai Accent:
Gone were the optional antilock brakes. However, Hyundai did add an impressive new warranty and cut prices, both of which mean little to used car buyers. A redesigned Accent emerged for 2000.
