More style and extra features are the two promises from Hyundai for the 2018 model year.

The exterior of the 2018 model sees a front grille, headlight bezel colour, and exterior colour palette. You have yourself a comfortable cabin with all the switchgear laid out nicely and there is plenty of space and mod cons to keep your journey relaxed and entertained

A mesh-style upper grille with a dark chrome surround and the matching lower grille is joined by a new metallic silver finish to the white bezel strip on the upper edge of the headlights at the front end. This is in a bid to enhance the sporty feeling of the car.

The Interior is subtle and includes a speedometer font, tachometer graphics, and a rev-counter redline.

The same 1.6-litre GDi ‘Gamma’ engine outputting 103kW/167Nm is found under the Accent Sport’s hood. You get the latest high-performance, low-emission GDi petrol engine that delivers a nippy 103 kW of power and 167 Nm of torque. You can easily cruise the motorways, and it has a comfortable ride that copes very well with bumpy city streets.  The engine can average around 6 to 6.5 litres/100 km.  Smooth and comfortable is how you would describe the stable Hyundai Accent’s ride.
