2012 Hyundai Accent Review

Efficient 5-Door Hatchback

A three-quarter front view of a blue 2012 Hyundai Accent

In short: A well-priced, fuel-efficient 5-door hatchback.

Earning a class-leading 34 mpg combined and offering up to 47.5 cubic feet of storage space, this economical 5-door hatchback is all about utilizing space efficiently. The addition of decent acceleration, a low starting price and a surprising amount of standard equipment make the Hyundai Accent a day tripper's dream.
