Accent Power & Performance

Engineering

Right from the smooth-as-silk 1.5 Litre SOHC engine to the exciting 1.6 DOHC powerplant and the peppy and amazingly efficient CRDi, the Accent offers the most extensive range of technologically advanced engines in its class.

Petrol Engines

Hyundai petrol engines feature multi-point fuel injection and come with a state-of-the-art microprocessor for precise fuel delivery, high velocity air intake and exhaust ports, tumble airflow, dual intake valves, asymmetric rockers, harmonically balanced cranks and ignition spark timing. These help make a cleaner burning engine for reduced emissions. These engines are light due to the use of new materials such as space-age plastics and lightweight aluminum resulting in more fuel-efficient and more environment friendly engines.

1.5 SOHC Engine (Refined power) - The 1.5 SOHC in-line-4-cylinder engine delivers 94 ps of power and 12.5 kgm of torque, offering superior refinement and drivability that is a benchmark for cars in its class.

1.6 DOHC Engine (Technology that delivers) - Turn on the 1.6 Litre DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft) engine and feel the 102.6 ps of power rush through your veins as you take on both city and highway roads with equal ease. The engine also packs an amazing 14.4 kgm of torque, delivering peak all round performance

Diesel Engines

CRDi - Engineered for the future - Engineered to meet the latest EURO III norms, this 1.5 litre new generation 'Green engine' combines performance and handling of a petrol engine with the fuel efficiency of a diesel, delivering an unbelievable 82ps of power and 19.1kgm of torque at 2000-2700 rpm.

Working on a patented 'direct injection' technology, the CRDi engine has 'rails' that inject pressurised fuel directly into the engine thereby improving engine efficiency and reducing noise & vibrations. The CRDi also electronically controls engine pressure, fuel quantity and injection timing to deliver better fuel efficiency and lower Nox and particulate emissions, making it one of the most environmentally friendly diesels in its class.

Suspension

The dynamically tuned all wheel, Independent suspension gives the Accent surprising athleticism on the road, round the corners and on the most tricky of surfaces. The wide radials of the Accent, which come in three different sizes, are perfectly matched to the progressive action struts in the front and the rear, giving you the smoothest ride and handling among cars in its class.
