A new Value Edition of Hyundai's Accent subcompact sedan comes with Bluetooth connectivity, steering-wheel audio controls, cruise control, a sliding center armrest and storage box, rear disc brakes and 16-inch alloy wheels. All of those features were available last year as part of two option packages.
That is the only significant change for the Accent, which returns in sedan and four-door hatchback body styles for 2017, the latter in SE and better-equipped Sport versions. All models come with a 137-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions.
The Accent comes with attractive base prices that start in the $15,000 range (including destination) and many features that most shoppers would consider must-haves, such as air conditioning, power windows and locks, and remote entry. Adding an automatic transmission and other optional equipment can quickly push the price closer to $18,000, however.
You shouldn't expect to pay full MSRP, though. The Accent competes with subcompacts such as the Honda Fit, Chevrolet Sonic and Ford Fiesta that have become harder to sell during a time of low gas prices and growing consumer preference for small SUVs instead of small cars. In addition, not much has changed for the new model year, so there is no need to wait for the 2017s.
