The Hyundai Accent Executive has been designed by keeping in mind all the serenity and elegant concepts once adorned by its ancestors. The all new Accent Executive boasts of some remarkable features that are indeed fantastically incorporated in the genome of the car. The Interiors welcome you into a completely refreshing ambience with upscale beige surroundings that charm you in every possible manner. The Interiors house great and ample space. The front seats have adjustable head rests although the feature is absent at the rear portion of the cabin. The Seating arrangement is well planned. The Seats are spacious and very comfortable with the fabric. The seats at the rear have an arm rest embedded with the fabric cloth (absent in some cases). The best thing about the seating arrangement is that the car has ample of space for you to relax yourself in every manner. There is quite a huge legroom both in the front and at the rear portion of the cabin. There is ample headroom as well. The rear seats of the car are highly cushioned and there are pillows to comfort you on longer journeys as well.

The front doors have a magazine storage space and bottle holders at the sides just beneath the door trims. The centre junction of the cabin near to the hand brake lies another storage space in the form of cup holders. The car has a huge boot space that is perhaps the most appreciable factor when on a longer haul.

The Dashboard has been very elegantly designed and has been kept wide to give it an imposing look. The beautiful instrument cluster in front of the leather wrapped steering wheel looks amazingly wonderful. The well lit and illuminated display of the cluster houses the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, warning alarms etc. The wooden silky finish that surrounds the cluster looks simply magnetic and highly attractive. The magnificent outlining of the cluster panel is adorable and extremely appreciable. The Steering wheel has a tilt steering mechanism which is common now days. The Centre console has also been transformed into the silky lusture of the wooden- metal alloy like finish that looks dazzling in appearance. The Centre console has been well incorporated with AC vents, temperature controls, an ashtray and a cigarette lighter.

Hyundai Accent Exteriors and Features

The Hyundai Accent Executive is not just confined to the lovable interiors but its beautiful exteriors command a unique simplicity yet beauty of their own. The front fascia consists of a chrome front grille that looks simply elegant. The integrated bumper above which resides the Hyundai logo looks stunning and very sporty. Hyundai Accent has a high roofline that looks fascinating indeed. The typical rectangular- curvy headlights look very dramatic. Apart from the front, equally adorable is its rear with the éclair rectangular squared tail lamps and the body colored bumper. The Side windings run across and throughout the sides to the front and the back. The High mounted Brilliance stop lamp with clear lens is another notable aspect that adds both completeness and utility to the sedan. The alloy wheels with full wheel covers make Accent Executive look a standalone in competition. With extraordinary craftsmanship, Hyundai has succeeded in reviving the boldness in the brand. The amazing design, look and visibility are the evidences of the fact. With incredible exterior features, the sedan has emerged as an eye magnet in the segment. The exquisite chrome rear garnish, body colored waistline moulding with chrome inserts complement beauty and style in every aspect making this Executive on wheels look fascinating with each and every breath that it tends to take away.  

Safety Features in Hyundai Accent

The only point where you would find the Hyundai Accent Executive behind other cars of the segment is the fact that the car lacks most of the advanced safety features like the ABS, EBD, airbags etc. It seems that in order to make the sedan within the reach of the common man and to reduce its cost for the same, Hyundai has omitted these features. However the car is loaded with anti- submarine seats that have been designed in order to prevent damage caused by sudden extreme application of brakes. Also the high mounted stop lamp at the rear keeps other drivers at the back alert at all times whenever the brakes are applied. The front fog lamps are also very useful while driving through mist in the winters. A similar application can be of the rear defogger that keeps the glass at the back fog- free thereby enhancing the visibility through the back. Also the collapsible steering column prevents injury to the driver’s chest in case of an on head collision. On the other hand, the central door locking is useful keeping the door locks of the car child- proof.

Hyundai Accent Driving and Handling

The super responsive power steering of the new Hyundai Accent Executive is such that it makes you feel that the car is almost mass- free. The extremely sporty steering helps you fling over almost all sorts of terrain with an ease. The gear shift is smooth and brakes are a true delight. The tyres help maintain a constant grip on to the roads. The car easily reaches its top speed and even at higher speeds, it remains confined within the controls of the driver. Also the noise dampening system keeps the car environment at peace and the tilt steering mechanism is wonderful in terms of driving comfort. The car is well supported with an advanced pair of suspensions. The front has the McPherson Strut type suspension with coil spring and stabilizer bar and the rear has the dual link suspension with coil spring and anti roll bar.  The suspensions are firm and help hold onto bumpy rides.

Hyundai Accent Accessories

Hyundai Accent Executive doesn’t come with much stock accessories and even an audio system is absent. It seems that the fact can be well related to the concept of cost reduction. Although the car can be well configured and customized through a wide range of accessories available from Hyundai itself.

Hyundai Accent Conclusion

Hyundai Accent is priced at an economical range, much within the reach of a common man. A sedan loaded with power, style and efficiency yet lacks safety but would definitely make it to the best among its competitors in the segment.
