Hyundai’s 2018 Accent is a cost-effective sedan with an unbeatable warranty but not a lot of thrills or luxury. The redesigned Accent is no longer available in hatchback form, takes some visual cues from larger Hyundais, and looks more upscale than past versions, but it’s still a totally practical option available at a great price. Our reviewer recommends some features available only to premium trims, but even the flagship Limited has an MSRP of less than $19K.
All Accents use a 130-hp 1.6-liter 4-cylinder with 119 lb-ft of torque redesigned to improve efficiency and power in the city. A 6-speed manual is available only in the base trim, with all others using a 6-speed automatic our reviewer found slow in responding to input. The Accent packs 90 cubic feet of passenger space, putting it into competition with compacts, rather than subcompacts, and while every Accent includes Bluetooth and a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available only to the SEL and Limited.

Love this little car. I've been in this car many times (Uber/Lyft) and even with four people in the car it had no problem zipping around town and going up those San Francisco hills. It felt solid and well made. Best of all me being 6"1" tall and at just under 300 lbs I had no problem sitting in the back and getting in and out was a breeze. This is def my next city car.
I actually own a 2018 Hyundai Accent SE in Frost white; bought it in April. I absolutely love the car. Even with just the base model I think it has great options (touch screen, backup cam) it looks great, I average 42mpg (and have gotten to 49.5mpg!) and I think the engine has good pep when you meed it. I paid $13,800 for it brand new w/ military discount, 5-yr free roadside, 100,000 mile warranty. Amazing deal, and my son's rear facing convertible carseat fits fine in it. By far the best looking car in its class, in my opinion. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Just thought I would give y'all an owner's opinion!
Amanda Newton hell yeah nobody needs a v8 to get to work, get a hyundai accent for amazing gas mileage and to build worthwhile credit
I got the SEL (I'm forgetful so automatic headlights are a must for me) and I love it! I get around the same fuel economy as you, and it has a perfect amount of space for me. Perfect for road trips with my boyfriend and dog.
i would say all the same i have the 19 preffered hatchback and its been an amazing car
Hyundai accent is called as diesel rocket in india beacuse it comes with 1.6 L diesel engine and people are crazy for it.
I ended up buying a 2018 Accent the weeks ago for my 100mile a day commute. I got the base SE with the 6 speed manual transmission. Came with everything I wanted. Get 41.5 MPG average. Very happy with this car so far. This is my sixth Hyundai since 1999 and all have been great cars. By the way the 2018 Accent is actually built at a KIA plant in Mexico.
Can I ask why it is your "sixth" car? Is it because the cars break down or because you generally like to switch up every couple of years? I'm only asking because if I do buy this car, I want it to last for more than 10 years. Are Hyundai's reliable?
scott baber Yes ! Please let us know, I’m considering this car and I need it to last years with proper maintenance of course !
You'd pay more for the Fit, get much less warranty... My pick - the Accent Limited.
Got the 2018 back in 2018. Got it for about 13.3k before taxes brand new. Love it!
Currently at 40k miles and still going strong. No problems, no indicator lights, AC runs every time I drive, and I get a solid 35-39MPG average.
This guy is WRONG! J.D Power gave the 2018-2019 Hyundai Accent a 4 out 5 points for long term reliability. It's more reliable then the Honda Fit.
I just emailed a local dealer for a price quote..Never done that before. AND I just discovered this re-design 10 minutes ago. I really like it..In a manual of course.
I have a 2010 Hyundai Accent and love it. Basic and just what I need. I do want to get a new car after nursing school in December and I'm really interested in the 2018 model.
The Fit has no charisma, just utility. The Accent is a brilliant example of good design and romantic automobile style. It's a matter of what you want.
Christopher Calder EXACTLY!
When will be available in Central America market?
Does this have adaptive cruise control with stop and go in traffic?
Accent hatchback is available in Canada! Come buy it here, taking advantage of the lower CDN$, and bring it home.
megarutabega that model is not USA certified yet, for emissions, and stupid rules about speedometer, etc. Buying it in Canada, and importing it only by an individual, is a federal and state paperwork nightmare. Plus, the warranty is not honored.
Do you have any Hyandai accents that are older? , 2008 or even older models
The Accent looks a lil better than the Elantra lol
B. F. XD
I chose this car over the Fit, and I don't regret my choice. It was around 3k cheaper, has a better warranty, and has all the features I wanted. It also is more stylish, in my opinion.
magpie what trim did you pick up? I’m in the market for a reliable inexpensive car. Are you satisfied with it?
isoygblitz I have the SEL. At my dealership, it ended up being about $700 more than the SE, so it made sense. The SE doesn't have some features like automatic headlights (I'm forgetful), but if you don't need bells and whistles it's nice. I like the car a lot! It fits everything I need, has great fuel economy, and drives well.
Right. I can't believe he recommended Honda fit. He lost all credibility. He Should be fired before he completely ruins this channel.
My Nana had one we absolutely loved it now she has a Kona
Very nice
I,d go with the Hyundai Accent because of the warranty and nice looking.
Love that car, wow I really like it very much.
This car lunched in India tell
Looks fantastic with alloys. I would buy if it had HID/LED headlamps. I feel that's such an underrated safety feature. Especially in Midwest winter where there is 4 hours of sunlight a day at best
Blake Swan get the limited , that one has day time running lights . I plan to get that one .
I have a Corolla XSE and have front DRLs and never knew how much I truly needed them. Also in the Midwest and experience 4 seasons so I get that.
Looks way better than the fit and that itself why I'd choose this over the fit lol
Waited anxiously for this car to arrive in Canada, and was disappointed when I sat in one at the Toronto Auto Show. No leg room for rear passengers, even young kids. Ended up buying the Kia Forte (sister company) and am very happy. But the accent is a great looking car.
Looking in the wrong class buddy This is a subcompact car but it has the most interior run in its glass pretty much so you're not going to find Uber amount of legroom in these vehicles although it's plenty comfortable for over 6 footers
@@user-rt5iw8hi1r Yeah, that was 6 years ago. Still wish I bought it, but my Forte has been a phenomenal car, with room in the back for the kids who are much bigger now. In hindsight I maybe should have gotten an SUV, but the fuel savings on the Forte are great.
Is it only in Canada that you can get a 2018 hatchback?
Yes, the hatchback is available only in Canada including 2019 and 2020 model years, they tend to sell more than the sedan version here.
Hyundai did a damn good job on the Accent
Right. Hey it is no luxury or sports car. But at its price range it is a great looking little car that does what it is supposed to do. I think the reviewer was unnecessarily harsh.
I really like this car. I just can't seem to find one in Europe.....
Kinda mad my 2021 SE doesn’t come w a sunroof
In India it is called VERNA and it is the best selling compact sedan
no Hatch for US market? Because there IS a 2018 5-door hatch somewhere else, search on youTube.!!!
Accent hatchback 2018 is available in Canadá, México and some countries in South América. In Europe I'ts a Huyndai i20. But US gets the superior Elantra GT, which is not for sale in México.
i got a manual tranny six speed and its fun to drive
This is the nicest Accent that they have made. However, I would spend a little more for a Elantra value edition. Just saying
canonlybeme4life that’s what I bought
canonlybeme4life mileage is pretty much the same too , which there is no reason the accent can’t achieve better mileage
Can I ask why you prefer the Elantra vs Accent?
Forget it! Kia Rio hatchback looks incredible. That's the one to get.
2013 has 138 hp and a 6 sp auto no cvt..more powerful and better tranmy options in 4th gen
'15 & maybe some early '16 Fit's are coming off lease. As long as it's under 3 years old & under 36K miles you can add a Honda Extended Warranty.
Ivan Vojt so that would be a 2016 or newer? Since it goes a year ahead?
Who pays good money for a CVT? Honda's are like apple phones and Nike sneakers: highly overrated, grossly overpriced.
Hope all you Honda cult members who replied below are not driving around in those death traps with Takata airbags. Highly overrated, grossly overpriced, that is a Honda.
Why “Gurus” ?
Jeet Patel lol they trying to be cute
I’m not rich so I’ll stick to used. More features for less. You just have to research to get a quality one.
this is gr8 car in it's range.i find it perfect for youngsters
Found out it's made in Mexico is this true?
Yes, it is true. It is assembled in KIA's factory in Pesquería, Nuevo León (near Monterrey).
Bring back the hatch.
This car is known as Hyundai Verna in India.
Odd that you did not mention the Toyota Yaris IA This Mazda 2 makeover comes off as better than this Accent in many areas.
Diesel variant for me
There is no diesel in US
If anybody at Hyundai USA had any brains, the limited would come with the 1.4L turbo and 7 speed DCT. Guess we will have to wait until they replace another CEO. Or, promote somebody over from the European division.
JR S or the 1.4T with a manual. Would buy in a heartbeat
JR S .. idiot.. more parts,, more problems... syn oil... higher insurance.. your just stupid... go buy a vette, genius!
Get an elantra then. This is a minimalist car.
Got mine for 12000
How is it going? Any problems?
Entertainment centers? Heated seats? Complex lane change features? Dude, it is an economy car. What do you expect? Also, it is not meant to be a sports car. Why are you worried about passing people at 65mph? Is it comfortable to drive? Check. Does it handle reasonably well? Check. Does it have enough room inside for you and maybe a passenger or two? Check. Add in the best warranty in the business and I think the Accent is a great economy car. No hatchback? Who cares. They are ugly anyway. Great review, but please keep in mind the type of machine you are reviewing and what its purpose is. Peace.
Honda Fit ..ugly, sales have fallen every year! The Accent is a stylish small car for cheap $$$$$$
Bextar636 the fit now looks like a deformed mini van. I hate it
The Honda Fit has higher resale value, lower ownership costs, is more practical AND economical.
DeadofWinter321 so is a mini van. Doesn't mean I want to drive one. If all that concerns you is reliablity and resale, don't buy a car. Clearly you just want something autonomous
I had a Cívic SI but it had several issues with the electronics. Really fun to drive and great engine. But those faulty electronics made me sell it. Now I own a Leon FR, I'ts almost flawless but it has some annoying interior noises.
Keith Barry has no right to express his own opinion, there is no other car that is better then the Hyundai Accent. It's a very reliable car that gets excellent fuel economy not to methon the vehicle hasn't been discussed much within the past several years.
The Accent is 'AFFORDABLE!" Yeah, compared with the others, but $14,000.00 is NOT affordable for millions of American Families. PERIOD!
I only paid 12000 for mine
If your credit is decent you should be able to afford it...if not then nobody said you need a new or almost brand new car either.
Uhh what ???? U want a car for free or what ? 14,000 is affordable as fuck if you have just decent credit . That’s like $220 /a month for car payments. If you want to make less than $200 payments on a car then you have no business buying a brand new car and need to get a used car.
