The Accent is Hyundai's entry-level subcompact that was redesigned for 2012 and features best-in-class standard fuel economy and power from the direct-injection 1.6-liter engine. A new Accent 5-door is added and both versions feature Hyundai’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design familiar from the Sonata and Elantra designs. The Accent was first introduced in 1995 to replace the Excel, which was the first Hyundai imported to the U.S. in 1986. The second-generation Accent debuted for 2000 and received exterior updates for 2003. The third-generation Accent debuted as a 4-door sedan for the 2006 model year. The three-door GS and SE joined the lineup for 2007.
