Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

To the majority, the Accent isn't a bad-looking car, but it isn't particularly sexy either. Most report the four-door sedan is the least appealing, while the hatchback looks marginally sporty.

  • "Far from cheap or plain, the Hyundai Accent looks elegant and substantial. ... The Accent sedan is more buttoned-down conservative than the more youthful Kia Rio, with which is shares its basic construction. ... The two-door Accent is unashamedly a hatchback, and makes no pretense to a separate trunk lid." -- New Car Test Drive
  • "Offers a look that is neither inspiring nor offensive." -- Car.com
  • "While the SE three-door is sporty and expressive, we think the Accent sedan is pretty plain vanilla. Its design is clean, functional and fairly aerodynamic, but hardly exciting." -- Kelley Blue Book
