2008 Hyundai Accent Sedan

The Hyundai Accent Sedan is the larger of the two Accent models currently on the market. About ten inches longer than its hatchback sibling, the sedan offers slightly more interior volume than the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic -- both cars that are a segment above Accent.

The Accent is powered by a 1.6-liter DOHC in-line four cylinder engine that features four valves per cylinder with CVVT. Performance peaks at 110 horsepower at 6000 rpm and torque is 106 pound-feet at 4500 rpm. With a manual transmission, the Accent's new EPA mileage is 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. With the optional four-speed automatic transmission, the Accent's new EPA rating is 24 mpg City and 33 mpg Highway.

The four-door Accent sedan comes in a single GLS trim level with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. GLS trim includes a wide range of features, including a 172-watt six-speaker AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio/CD/MP3 audio system with auxiliary input jack, power steering, rear coat hook, tilt steering wheel, driver and passenger illuminated vanity mirrors and standard air conditioning. Carpeted floor mats are optional.

There are a total of six airbags, including dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof mounted side-curtain airbags.

The "Popular Equipment" package includes ABS with EBD, power windows, mirrors, door locks, remote keyless entry with alarm and panic alert. The GLS Premium Package includes the Popular Equipment Package, plus 15-inch alloy wheels with 195/55R15 tires.
