Despite looking the same, the subcompact Hyundai Accent makes big moves toward improved efficiency for 2020.
Last year’s 1.6-liter engine was completely redesigned. It now makes 120 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque. While the 6-speed manual transmission still comes standard, the optional 6-speed automatic transmission has been swapped for a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). These changes boost the Accent’s fuel economy to 33 mpg city, 41 highway, and 36 combined. As before, all Accents are front-wheel drive (FWD).
Hyundai offers the Accent in SE, SEL, and Limited trims. The base SE trim includes a 5-inch touchscreen, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and Bluetooth connectivity. The SEL trim comes with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and dual USB charging ports. Finally, the Limited trim gets 17-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, Hyundai's Blue Link telematics, keyless access, and keyless start.
The Accent comes standard with airbags and a reversing camera. Nicer trims include a blind-spot mirror, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. The Hyundai Accent earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2019.
The Hyundai Accent remains a value-focused subcompact sedan, albeit one that’s quite a bit more efficient than it was last year. It competes with other subcompact sedans like the Nissan Versa and Kia Rio.
Engine revs do not drop right away when shifting 2020 Hyundai Accent manual transmission even when I take my foot completely off gas pedal. The over rev can be very excessive depending on how fast I wish to accelerate. Like in traffic. Making upshifts very jerky and difficult to match engine revs to the gear selected.
