The J.D. Power Initial Quality Study Segment Winner continues to offer tremendous features and pricing
SUPERIOR TOWNSHIP, Mich., Dec. 2, 2016 – A Value Edition comes to the already economically priced, feature-laden #accent for the 2017 model year. At just $16,450, the Value Edition costs but $705 more than the base #accent with 6-speed automatic transmission, yet includes several desirable features. Now the #accent crams even more content into its small-on-the-outside, commodious-on-the-inside, IQS-segment-winning shell.
2017 #hyundai #accent Value Edition includes:

PEPPY POWERPLANT
An all-aluminum, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, called Gamma, propels the #accent. It produces 137 peak horsepower at 6300 rpm and 123 lb-ft of torque at 4850 rpm. The Gamma makes use of several advanced technologies like Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT) on both intake and exhaust camshafts, and a variable length intake manifold. To reduce lifetime operation costs and increase reliability, the Gamma engine features a maintenance-free silent roller timing-chain. The #accent comes with either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission. With the manual, the #accent achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city, 37 highway, and 31 combined mpg.
COMPACT YET COMMODIOUS
Despite similar exterior dimensions to many of today’s traditional subcompacts, the EPA classifies the #accent as a compact sedan, rather than subcompact, due to its over 103 cubic-feet of interior volume as a sedan and 111 cubic-feet as a hatchback. The five-door also offers more cargo behind the rear seats than a Honda Fit.
Hyundai sprinkled convenient storage spaces throughout the cabin, including larger bottle holders in the front doors and a storage tray at the base of the center console. An available sliding armrest adds even more storage options. The Accent’s rear seats split 60/40 and fold for increased cargo flexibility, making it a handy IKEA™ hauler as well.
SAFETY
Six airbags help protect occupants in the event of a collision: two front airbags, as well as driver and passenger side and curtain airbags, which protect both front and rear passengers. The Accent’s standard front-seat active head restraints help prevent whiplash by automatically reducing the space between a front occupant’s head and the restraint during certain rear collisions. All this is in addition to a cadre of standard passive #safety features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control (TCS), and Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), which integrates control of the ESC and motor-driven power steering (MDPS) to provide handling assistance in slippery conditions and emergency maneuvers. The system delivers counter-steering when required to assist the driver and keep the vehicle stable.
