GS and GL models got a twin-cam, 1.6-liter engine that produced 105 horsepower. Topping the line was the GL four-door sedan. An automatic transmission was optional in all but the L model, which came only with manual shift. Power brakes now were standard in the L.
2002 Hyundai Accent:
Air conditioning became standard on GS and GL editions and optional for the L this year.

The accent is unchanged for 2004.
