2006-2007 Hyundai Accent Review
Hyundai's smallest car was redesigned for 2006, adding size, power, and safety features. Accent debuted as a GLS four-door sedan, but a sporty two-door hatchback arrived early in calendar 2006 (as a 2007 model). Compared to the 2002-2005 sedan, the 2006 model was 1.8 inches longer, an inch wider, and 3 inches taller, on a 2.3-inch longer wheelbase. Accent's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine gained 6 horsepower for 110 total. Transmission choices were a five-speed manual and optional four-speed automatic. Newly standard were front torso side airbags, head-protecting curtain side airbags, and antilock brakes. Also included: height-adjustable front seats, split folding rear seatbacks, and a CD player. Air conditioning was a standalone option and included in a Premium Sport Package, along with power windows, power heated mirrors, keyless entry, and 15-inch alloy wheels to replace 14-inch steel rims. Accent shared its underskin design with the front-wheel-drive Kia Rio, but differed in styling, content mix, and pricing. Rivals also included the Chevrolet Aveo, Ford Focus, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris. Hyundai offered one of the industry's longest warranties: 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10/100,000 powertrain coverage, with 5-year/unlimited-mileage roadside assistance.
Year to Year Changes
2007 Hyundai Accent: Except for the addition of a two-door hatchback as an early 2007 model, Accent changed little this year. Antilock braking for sedans slipped from standard equipment to the options list for 2007. ABS was standard on the SE, optional for GLS, but unavailable on GS models.
