Hyundai unveiled the fourth generation of the Accent in Korea in 2010 and started sales in the North American continent in the following year for the 2012 model-year.
The fourth generation of the Accent was launched in 2011 at the Montreal Auto Show, and the sedan was the kind of vehicle suitable for commuters and car-rental companies. In addition, its reliability and low running costs helped Hyundai sell the vehicle in huge numbers. Last but not least, since it produced it in three trim levels with either a manual or an automatic gearbox, it had something to offer for any budget.
From the outside, Hyundai's design team tried to offer the car a sporty look with the hexagonal-shaped front grille and the swept-back headlights. In addition, the lower bumper featured a pair of scoops for the fog lamps when fitted. The base trim level featured steel wheels, while the other two grades sat on standard 16" alloys. With its four-door bodywork and the short deck in the back, the Accent looked good enough for most customers looking for an affordable vehicle.
Inside, Hyundai installed all the necessary comfort features needed by a commuter. Thus, the Accent came equipped with power windows and central locking. In addition, the air conditioning unit was standard. Finally, a decent sound system accompanied the drivers and their passengers on their commute.
Depending on the market and trims, the Accent came fitted with either a 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injected system or a few turbo-diesel options. Moreover, customers could get the car with either a five- or six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.
