Warranty

The Hyundai Accent is covered by the Hyundai Assurance Trade-In Value Guarantee, a program that predicts what your Hyundai will be worth up to two years from the purchase date. If you trade-in your vehicle between 24 and 48 months after you purchased it, Hyundai guarantees that you’ll get at least the predicted value for your trade, though you may get more.  

The 2012 Hyundai Accent also has the longest warranty coverage in its class. Its powertrain limited warranty lasts for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its new vehicle warranty lasts for five years/60,000 miles. The Accent also has seven years of coverage for perforation corrosion and five years of 24-hour roadside assistance. Both of these warranties have unlimited mileage.
