The dimensions of the updated Accent have grown: the length is now 4405 mm (+30 mm), and the width is 1720 mm (+20 mm). The wheelbase has also increased by 30 mm and reached 2600 mm. The trunk volume has grown by 10 liters, to 480 liters.
Inside, a new steering wheel and instrument panel are installed, and the center console has a slight turn toward the driver. Improved quality of finishing materials is also claimed. The list of available equipment has been expanded with an updated multimedia system with a 7-inch display, navigation, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Under the hood, there are fewer changes: as before, two gasoline engines are offered. The base 1.4-liter engine now produces 100 hp instead of the previous 107 hp. The 1.6-liter power unit, developing 123 hp, has also undergone some refinements, but its output remains the same.
The engines are paired with a six-speed manual gearbox or a new automatic with the same number of gears. Thanks to the updated transmissions, average fuel consumption has been slightly reduced: for the 1.4-liter engine it is 5.7 liters per 100 km (6.4 liters with automatic), and for the 1.6-liter — 6 liters per 100 km (6.7 liters with automatic).
Prices for the Ukrainian market for the new Accent will be announced closer to the start of sales, which are planned for spring.
