Hyundai Accent Hatchback Performance & Safety

So far on so little.

Hyundai of Oakville

Accent Hatchback

The primary measure of a small car is fuel consumption, and the Hyundai Accent is at the top of its game.

With superior Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine technology, the Accent is able to precisely control the injection of fuel and delivers an impressive 138 horsepower, 123 lb-ft of torque and 5.3L/100 km highway fuel economy.

And if it can make you go further, we’ve incorporated it: An offset crankshaft design, an electronic throttle control, and even rolling resistance silica tires that reduce friction with the road. It all adds up to greater fuel efficiency.

What others believe are premium safety features, we believe should be standard. Safety is not a luxury, but a necessity. Every Accent comes standard with six airbags1, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS) ², and front active head restraints.

_{¹ The Supplemental Restraint (Airbag) System (SRS) is designed to work with the 3-point seatbelt system. The SRS deploys in certain frontal and/or side impact conditions where significant injury is likely. The SRS is not a substitute for seatbelts, which must still be worn at all times. Children under the age of 13 should be securely restrained in the rear seat. NEVER place a child seat in the front seat of a Hyundai vehicle.

2 Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS) are meant to enhance conscientious driving habits and are not a substitute for safe driving practices.}

Peformance Highlights

Blue Gamma Engine

Lightweight to enhance fuel economy, a 1.6L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) Dual CVVT 4-cylinder engine with 6-speed manual or automatic transmission produces an impressive 138 horsepower at 6300 rpm with 123 lb-ft of torque at 4700 rpm.

4-wheel Disc Brakes

4-wheel disc brakes add that extra level of safety by using the back wheels as well as the front to make for more fast, effective stops.

Safety Highlights

Six Standard Airbags¹

Six airbags¹ provide all-round protection. One for the driver, one for the front-seat passenger, two curtain airbags running the length of the cabin, plus two side airbags.

Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)²

The Vehicle Stability Management system comprises a network of safety features for the Accent. VSM monitors and coordinates advanced safety systems like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS)² to make sure they are all working in sync, maximizing their effectiveness.

Front Active Head Restraints

Standard on the Accent are front active head restraints. In the event of a rear-end collision, the restraints move forward before your head moves back, providing added protection against whiplash. As well, adjustable head restraints and 3-point seatbelts are standard for each seating position.
