Review of the updated flagship of the Hyundai concern - the new Accent of 2013

New cars "Hyundai" "Accent", produced in Russia under the name Solaris, initially bribe their appearance, because the Koreans managed to find a middle ground between the dynamism and compactness of the car. Not to notice the new Accent in the road flow is simply impossible, because its design was very emotional and expressive.

The top version from the base is easily distinguished by the "predatory" fog lights, and all the sedan's complete sets are equipped with 15-inch wheel disks. Already at first glance it becomes clear that the external appearance of the new "Hendai" is clearly not economized: the body is distinguished with relief sidewalls, aggressive optics of the front lights, vyshtampovki on the hood, sloping roof, spectacular taillights. What can I say about "Hyundai"? The new "Accent" from the design point of view has turned out quite sound, moreover it looks much more expensive than its value. All elements are written very harmoniously, and therefore at this stage we can say one thing: Hyundai Accent is designed for buyers who love the eyes, because with detailed familiarity, you can find weighty shortcomings.

Interior

As for the interior decoration of Hyundai, the new "Accent" does not at all evoke a sense of budget. The quality of the materials is not bad, although everything is made of harsh plastic. The driver's seat has a sufficient level of adjustments, ergonomics are verified to shine, and the optional set contains all the necessary elements that contribute to comfortable driving. The basic version of "Classic" got air conditioning, an on-board computer, an audio system, front electric windows, two airbags, an immobilizer, and various accessories that pleases the eye with a pleasing design. More expensive options include climate control, light and rain sensors , rear view camera, Supervision instrument panel, Bluetooth service, ESC and TSC security systems. There is not too much space behind it, but it is quite enough for passengers of medium height. Separate mention deserves a spacious trunk with 465 liters of volume, which is enough for a car class B.

In general, the interior turned out to be quite good, although it upsets the quality of the materials and the somewhat crackling sound of the radio tape recorder, which is not peculiar to the products of the Hyundai concern. New "Accent" got a very beautiful shell, and therefore had to stint on individual details, which were the elements of the cabin.

Technical features

The impeccable dignity of the new "Accent" can be considered dynamic. On the Russian market, it is available in two versions: with a 107-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, as well as a 123-horsepower 1.6-liter engine. Both versions are aggregated by a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed "automatic". Acceleration to 100 km / h takes a little more than 11 seconds, where even when the desired "hundred" is reached under the right pedal, there is a proper supply of thrust. Controllability can boast impressive reaction acuity and the presence of a fixed zero zone. As for the character of "Hyundai", the new "Accent" excellently shows itself in high-speed corners, without unnerving the user by early slipping. If the driver makes any mistake, the wonderful equipment will always help him, correcting the trajectory of the movement. But the suspension somewhat spoiled the general impression of its excessive rigidity, because of what many potholes are transferred to the car salon. Yes, and the total noise insulation is carried out on a rather feeble level, which adds a spoonful of tar.

Conclusion

We conclude our review with a refinement of the price. The cost of the new "Hyundai" "Accent" in the basic configuration will be 467,900 rubles for the version of 1.4 liters and 512,900 rubles for the version of 1.6 liters. Top car will cost you 698,900 rubles (version with 1.4 liters no).
