Hyundai Accent
Hyundai Motor America debuted the all-new 2018 Accent at the 2017 Orange County International Auto Show. The 2018 Hyundai Accent enters its fifth generation by building on the strengths of its predecessors with Hyundai's modern engineering prowess. The result is a car with an expressive design, a high-tech interior, a more efficient powertrain, reduced cabin noise and remarkably improved driving dynamics. The company also infused its newest subcompact car with the latest safety and convenience features. The 2018 Accent will arrive in Hyundai dealerships in the fall of 2017.
Advanced High Strength Steel at the Core
The all-new Hyundai Accent was developed to be the segment benchmark for driving dynamics and safety while delivering outstanding fuel efficiency and maintaining Hyundai's unbeatable value position. Key to achieving those goals was the car's use of Advanced High Strength Steel. Accent is composed of 54.5 percent Advanced High Strength Steel - up 13 percentage points from the fourth generation - from the company's captive Hyundai Steel plant. In addition, Hyundai Accent's torsional rigidity improved by 32 percent.
This new, rigid chassis improves noise isolation and overall driving dynamics. The application of Advanced High Strength Steel also improves collision energy management without adding weight, helping to reduce fuel consumption and deliver better driving feel.
Improved ride comfort, handling and stability are achieved through key developments in the suspension. Accent's steering feel has been refined with improvements to steering efficiency, while enhancements to handling and ride comfort have been made by raising the rear roll center and increasing the leverage ratio of the rear shock absorbers. The standard Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) system instantly adjusts to changing driving conditions for greater precision and steering feel while improving fuel economy.
