Hyundai entered the US market in 1986 with the Excel, a car that couldn’t match Japanese reliability or build quality, but offered more equipment than Hondas or Toyotas at a lower price. It’s a tradeoff many buyers were still willing to accept when the Accent replaced the Excel in the mid-90s.
Now in its fourth generation, the entry-level Accent continues Hyundai’s tradition of offering more equipment for a bargain price. Even better, the Korean automaker has greatly improved the Accent’s fit, finish and reliability—an important achievement backed up by an industry-leading 10-year warranty.
