Considered one of the most dependable sub-compact cars available, the 2009 Accent received the lowest number of problems out of 100 vehicles in its class in the 2008 Vehicle Dependability Study hosted by J.D. Power and Associates. The 2009 Hyundai Accent's massive appeal is anchored in a wide variety of its features and amenities. The all new Accent boasts low emissions, an incredibly high fuel economy reaching up to 35 MPG, greater interior volume than other vehicles in its class, a collection of quality standard features to ensure safety and security, and advanced automotive technology integrated throughout the vehicle.
The 2009 Hyundai Accent comes available in three different trim levels, with six different trim options that include Manual and Automatic transmission options, as well as choices for either 2-Door or 4-Door bodystyles. Each and every Accent trim comes with a high-performance 1.6 Liter engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing which modulates the engine's intake-valve timing as it relates to the exhaust valves. The engine is capable of producing up to 110 HP and delivering over 105 pound-feet of torque. Because of the exalted engineering that backs this vehicle, the Accent possesses improved response and fuel efficiency regardless of engine speed. It has a smooth idle and produces lower emissions, as well, as is apparent in the fact it is a certified Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV). All trim options operate with Front Wheel Drive, meaning the engine's power is smoothly delivered to the front wheels via the standard 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. To top it off, some of the Accent trims also comes with a B & M Racing Short-Throw Sport Shifter (SE), as well.
The Accent interior has much to offer, as it provides increased volume and space to top any other vehicle in its class. With all of this extra space, the Accent provides features like a 6-way adustable driver seat, adjustable head restraints for all seating positions, folding armrest for the driver seat, a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, power steering, advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and more.
The Accent exterior varies from trim to trim. Power mirrors come optional with the GS and GLS models. The SE comes standard with power mirrors and a rear wiper, as well. Hyundai's 2009 Accent hatchback comes standard with an integrated roof spoiler, sport-tuned steering and suspension, aesthetically-appealing wheels, and a front variable intermittent wiper.
