By 2006, Hyundai was no longer a stranger on any market, and the Accent was one of its best-selling products.
When it introduced the four-door sedan version, Hyundai aimed to the families that asked for more but couldn't afford it. It wasn't a very sophisticated car and, thanks to its affordable price, it wasn't a burden on the budget. Last but not least, the Korean brand was already known for its reliable products, and that helped its sales department.
The sedan was a simple vehicle built for simple people. It didn't offer any aggressive stance or ferocious look. Its soft edges and curved surfaces resembled the bio-design era, which was already gone from the market. But its customers didn't care about that: all they wanted was a user-friendly vehicle, and the sedan was just that.
Inside, the carmaker installed gray upholstery and gray door panels. It was not the best plastic available from Hyundai, but it was stain-resistant and easy to clean. For young families with small kids or toddlers, that was a huge advantage. There was room for two adults in the rear if they were not taller than average, and the trunk was large enough for a weekend trip for a family of two-and-a-half.
Under the hood, Hyundai installed a choice of three engines: two gasoline and a turbo-diesel. They were paired as standard to a 5-speed manual gearbox, while a four-speed automatic transmission was available for the gasoline-powered versions.
