Advanced High Strength Steel at the Core
The ACCENT was developed to be the segment benchmark for driving dynamics and safety while delivering outstanding fuel efficiency and maintaining Hyundai's unbeatable value position. Key to achieving those goals was the car's use of Advanced High Strength Steel. ACCENT is composed of 54.5 percent Advanced High Strength Steel—up 13 percentage points from the fourth generation—from the company's captive Hyundai Steel plant. In addition, ACCENT's torsional rigidity improved by 32 percent.

This new, rigid chassis improves noise isolation and overall driving dynamics. The application of Advanced High Strength Steel also improves collision energy management without adding weight, helping to reduce fuel consumption and deliver better driving feel.

Improved ride comfort, handling and stability are achieved through key developments in the suspension. ACCENT's steering feel has been refined with improvements to steering efficiency, while enhancements to handling and ride comfort have been made by raising the rear roll center and increasing the leverage ratio of the rear shock absorbers. The standard Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) system instantly adjusts to changing driving conditions for greater precision and steering feel while improving fuel economy.

Striking Exterior Design
The design of the new ACCENT exhibits confidence and sophistication with sculpted body forms and smoothly contoured lines delivering a new interpretation of Hyundai's signature design language.

The car features Hyundai's cascading grille, a visual signature integral to the company's identity. The grille is flanked by wraparound headlights and available LED signature daytime running lights.

ACCENT's sweeping roof profile and sharp character lines run the length of the car. These character lines meet available slim LED wraparound taillights. Features such as 17-inch alloy wheels and side mirror LED turn signal indicators add to the upscale feel of the car. The car's form is also functional, achieving balance between design and engineering for standout styling with aerodynamic improvements. The underside of the car is also sculpted for aerodynamics, and a new front-lip spoiler, together with a lower ride height, contributes to ACCENT's efficient design. All of these attributes allow the 2018 ACCENT to slip through the wind with a 0.28 coefficient of drag.

Compared with the last generation, the ACCENT is larger and has more interior room. ACCENT is wider by 1.2 inches, and the overall length has increased by 0.6 inches, yet its height remains unchanged, giving the car a more grounded stance. The wheelbase has also increased by 0.4 inches, pushing the wheels farther to the corners and improving interior roominess.
