"It's not even that depressing to drive." Woo hoo! Sign me up!
Sounds like a party!
But what if you're depressed?
The Accent is actually a good looking vehicle for it’s segment.
"It's not depressing to drive!" Okay you sold me. I'll take one. =D
Johnny FD sounds exciting!
Its not that bad.... I have one in white, its a Rental bcause my Honda Civic os Fμ€k up!!!
I prefer My Honda... Fuel economy Civic WINS 👍
It took me a second, as I was first watching this I honestly thought it was an Elantra and not the Accent! Great job redesigning it Hyundai, you sure fooled me!
Acc0rd79 was literally just about to write the same thing.
Full packed one only cost $17k? Damn, here in Costa Rica a full packed one costs almost $25k even though we earn a lot less incomings from our jobs :(
Here in India we've got 1.6L diesel as well with 260Nm of torque, gem of an engine
Of course with every redesign cars get wider and longer ... this Accent doesn't look so 'sub-compact' anymore ...
It's considered a compact car now, and the Elantra is considered a midsize car now lol
This car is in india..its called Hyundai verna. There is they called Hyundai ascent.
Baasil F. Yep that’s correct , I have a 2018 Elantra it really does have all the room you need for most people.
I love the new Accent!! Its so cute!!
Great review and a great little car. I actually think it looks better than an Elantra and as good as the Sonata in its own way. I like the tightness of the design. My old 1984 Honda Civic only had 75 HP; the Accent has 130 and has about 5 more cubic feet of interior space than the 84 Honda. The 1995 Camry only had 125 HP, and people thought that was enough for that midsize sedan. The new Accent is now officially a "compact car", not a "subcompact car according to the EPA. In truth, it is big enough for most families. Think of all the families of five that made do with a Volkswagen Beetle during the 1960s. Now everyone wants a war wagon with all wheel drive, a big engine, and a giant gas tank.
Looks great, but I wish the US got the hatchback as well! Sedans in this class don't make much sense to me as they require extra length for a trunk which makes it more of a compact anyway. Plus it's generally less practical than the hatch sibling, and rear headroom might be compromised. Obviously it boils down to preference and needs but if you're looking for value, the hatch is the clear choice.
Graham Jefferson We already get the Elantra GT hatchback, so therefore, there is no need for an Accent hatchback anymore
I have this Verna crdi vgt black colour
Beautiful car
Props to her for not hiding that she and this channel is CANADIAN! 🇨🇦
She couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. =D

Craig Cole is Canadian? Crikey!
What the f is that supposed to mean? Is it bad to be Canadian?
It's late December in Canada and the Hyundai Canada website doesn't even offer the 2018 Accent in their build and price. Production delays? Kind of waiting to see this before I make my final buying decision.
Just bought one of these today for my 100 mile a day commute. Got the base with 6 speed manual. Well equipped for a stripper.
Brilliant review and lovely looking car. Wish the Accent saloon was available in the UK, we only get the i30 hatch and estate. The Accent looks so stylish - guess I have to keep my Hyundai ix35 for a while longer. :-)
Excellent, thanks. Look forward to seeing it.
Good job on the design it looks really good I should of bought this over the 17 civic
This girl looks nice too,
And what about safety and crash test level
I didn't find any crash test of this model
I want the hatch and go to Canada to buy it
Overall nice car, I love Hyundai accents, but I want the hatch! Come on Hyundai!
Great Video
Thank you😎
just watch the IIS small overlap crash tests and you will not buy this car. my in laws rented one and had a driver come from opposite lane over and hit them and the Hyundai disintegrated.
both almost died and had to have major surgery.
good no cheap... cheap no good
I wish the hatch manual with optional features were available here in the U.S.
No one offers what I want, so I went with exactly what I didn't- a CVT automatic, sedan, and a stoic driving car. A 2016 Toyota Corolla S Premium. If I can't have what I want, might as well settle all out in the opposite direction.
seriously? Once again the US doesn't get the hatchback version?
Once again? We've been getting the hatchbacks for the last couple generations, so as far as I know, it's only the 2018's and up where we won't get one. The Kia Rio will still be offered in both sedan and hatch models, so that's good at least. Coincidentally, the Rio hatch looks almost identical to the European Hyundai i20, which is actually the starting point for Hyundai's WRC...
Sad to know this car doesn't have independent rear suspension just like the original Accent
are there any subcompacts sold in US that does?
This Guy Honda civic
Civic is a compact, a size class up from Accent. Other subcompacts like Versa and Yaris don't have IRS either.
This Guy its ok to pay a little extra for a Japanese import with loads of features rather than spending hard earned money for a car that looks good but doesn't have sporty handling, at least the previous generation accent had all Independent suspension and it was a group B rally car.
This Guy not sure why companies are avoiding independent suspension in budget cars, at least Tata Nano and Suzuki Esteem had Independent suspension, even the previous generations Hyundai elantra had link type independent rear suspension. It's not that expensive to produce and off course it improves handling and safety
Hyundai acdent front grill in SEA doesnt look like this..Racist..
In my country, the model with this face lift is named as Elantra or Avante. The model named Accent is a 1.4L car with a different face lift.
I bought a 2009 hyundai accent hatchback brand new.I have been driving it for ten years in canadian winters.It does not have any rust at all.It has 186000 klms on it and it runs perfect.It still has the original brakes and exhaust system.It is a really well made car that i still like driving.If i needed a new car i would buy the new accent hands down.
Weird that they seem to be making the Accent superior (looks and features) to the Kia Rio. They used to be twins more or less. Now the Rio seems kind of inferior after watching reviews of both, although you can still get the Rio in a hatchback in the US.
i want one, but i can't afford the interest rate on the loan, and the used ones are also out of my price reach
This will be my new daily driver. Luckily I'm in Canada so I'm def getting the hatch
First like, first comment
hyundai gets a bad name but look where they came from they are so so nice now
Cmon Hyundai, give it a turbo!
Stay_salty_fam lol it 14,000 dollar what you expect 😂 but it look very sexy for it price
CineRaphael up the price 2 grand and add it! Or put the 2 liter from the soul.
we have one now. its color white and we will have it by next week
any idea when this car model will be released in the philippines?
It looks great, but I can't bear the thought of buying a new car in 2018 with freakin' HALOGENS.
I prefer the colour temperature of halogens, but the higher efficiency of the newer tech is compelling, and of course, not having to replace the bulbs periodically is convenient too. OK, more light doesn't hurt either.
Nice job Hyundai, ya come a long why! This will look nice stanced!
The interior kinda looks like the last Dodge Dart...
this is a good review
Hi
Im impressed with the new Design of the Accent it got SWAG!
This look exactly Hyundai Verna India 2017..
navtej singh its the same car....this is known as verna in south asia
they are the same
A green submariner on wrist 👌🏽
Another WIS! I was taking screenshots trying to figure that out, and my GF was like, why all these shots of this girl?! Ha, they will never understand. I was trying to narrow it down, and of course the oyster bracelet is a giveaway.
Hatchback available in Canada. Hooray!!!
its not the same here in ph
nice car good review, audio sounds odd though
I rented one. Loved it. I thought it was fun to drive.
This is rally a hard sell over the Elantra. Youndont even get disc brakes at all four wheels on this thing
Blake Swan Really? I have a 2017 Accent and I have all disc brakes...?
GoldenProdigy yup they went to drums in the rear for 2018 ☹️
Blake Swan only on the base model
Hope this will be available in Manila.
These things made a lot of sense.
Not in the market for any more gas cars but I will gladly watch any video with her in it
She's 100% of awesomeness
EVs for Donkeys 2018 I like her bubbliness and spontaneity.
This is Verna or Elantra marketed as Accent overseas
Amarendra Nath Elantra is a different car. Verna and Accent are the same cars.
Those headlights are huge on that car
looks like an Elantra
Mice car, great value
1:51 - She should mentioned the Audi grill.
авто с характером
Man this looks great what happened with the rio?
Yeah, the Rio and the Forte didn't age well.
l3n1x well even the new one looks awful. I actually like the current rio
It is not accent ...it's a Hyundai Verna 2017-2018
In left hand drive markets Hyundai Verna is called the Hyundai Accent.
Infact Hyundai Accent is the official name given to this model.
Just that, in India and Indian sub-continent it was & is known by the name Verna.
In India its know as Verna.!!!
What about Europe?
It's sold only in Russia as Solaris I guess.
Another Hyundai fail. It's December and we still don't have the pricing. POS.
Mark of Excellence didn't look did ya...$15,559 for the base #17,995 for the top-line, shark racing will be making a turbo kit that'll up the HP to 150HP for around $1000
She’s cute!
That mpg is unimpressive. The new accord 1.5t 192hp does better in the city. 30/38/32
Luke Hoisington the accord is a midsize sedan. This is a subcompact car
Manny Byas right that's the point. The midsize sedan gets better city mpg.
Luke Hoisington ~ Is it in the same price range as the Accord???
I don't think so.
Review Guru the class isn't the point. Way less power and same fuel economy as a larger roomier car.
Agreed. Even the Civic does better than this!
its a verna not accent
Tejas dhaliwal- In the US and Canada it isn't
Angel Figueroa oh
Angel Figueroa does it has smoke headlamps?
Tejas dhaliwal- Im not sure, haven't seen it in person
Angel Figueroa ok...in video...i think its having
The similarities between this car and the Mercedes Benz S65 AMG are enormous. I'd pick this car over the AMG any day.
nope, it looks ugly.
