Hyundai’s subcompact car has received a major overhaul for 2018, with all-new styling, a redesigned cockpit as well as new driving and infotainment technologies. Still offered in sedan and five-door hatchback body styles, the Accent is equipped with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 132 horsepower, matched to a manual or automatic transmission. The 2018 edition is longer, wider and slightly more spacious than the outgoing generation.
