Hyundai's fourth-generation Accent Hatchback is proving to be the strongest subcompact offering yet from the Korean automaker. Available in both hatchback and sedan form, the Accent features class-leading fuel economy of 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.

Another distinctive feature is the fact that the mileage rating is the same for all models and transmissions, requiring no special package to achieve

It's clear that Hyundai's latest Accent is no longer intended to sell on the basis of price alone, as this new subcompact car features strong styling and a class-leading powertrain. The new Accent is powered by a 1.6-liter direct injected four-cylinder engine that puts out 138 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 123 lb-ft of torque at 4,850 rpm.

The Accent is the first subcompact car to feature direct injection technology on a gasoline engine, and is the only car in the class to offer a six-speed manual transmission (automatics are also six-speed).

The Accent Hatchback is available in two trim levels, both of which are unique from the GLS trim level found on the sedan model. The base hatchback is the GS, while the more sporty offering is dubbed the SE.

Hyundai says the Accent Hatchback boasts class-leading storage with 21.2 cubic feet of cargo volume - besting the next-best Honda Fit, and even some compact cars.

Trim Level Breakdown
Accent GS comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission (automatic optional with included Active ECO), a trip computer, tachometer, 14-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors and door locks, keyless entry, body-colored mirrors and door handles and more.

Stepping up to the SE will add cruise control, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, premium cloth seats, piano black interior accents, a sliding center armrest, 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps and a rear spoiler.

Occupant Safety
Standard safety equipment includes front, side and head curtain airbags, Vehicle Stability Management, ESC with TCS, ABS, EBD, brake assist, four-wheel disc brakes and active front head restraints.

Key Competitors
The Accent Hatchback plays in the increasingly competitive subcompact segment against new or improved rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback, the Honda Fit, the Ford Fiesta Hatchback and the Mazda Mazda2.
