Comprehensive Safety and the 2019 Accent
Accent offers a wide array of advanced safety technologies to provide another layer of protection for passengers. For example, Accent offers available Forward Collision-avoidance Assist that utilizes a front forward facing radar to help detect a vehicle and warn the driver of a potential collision. If the driver does not react to avoid the impact, the system may apply emergency braking.

A six-airbag system is standard, along with Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management, Traction Control and ABS.
