2022 Accent Performance

It should be noted from the start that the 2022 Hyundai Accent has not been built for performance driving, not by a long shot. Hyundai has bestowed just enough power for the Accent to competently complete all the basics expected from a car in this price bracket and class. With a small capacity four-cylinder engine under the hood, things don't seem too promising, and stomping on the gas pedal reveals the car's lack of power. Still, if you're only after a daily commuter that will do the A to B run without complaint while using a sliver of fuel, then this will work perfectly for you. All trim levels share the same powertrain, which levels the playing field. Hyundai doesn't provide a 0 to 60 time or top speed figure but independent testing suggests that it should reach 60 mph in around 9.6 seconds. You won't find any AWD option here; the Accent is strictly an FWD car and offers similar performance to the Kia Rio and Nissan Versa.

Engine and Transmission

Those looking for strong performance should look elsewhere. The Hyundai Accent sedan comes fitted with a small 1.6-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that delivers the bare necessities. You won't find the low down torque of a diesel or turbo car here. All three trim levels share the same engine, which develops 120 hp and 113 lb-ft of torque high up in the rev range, which means that this car will have to live high up in the rev range to get anywhere with convincing urgency. The Accent does well in the city and feels nippy enough to keep up with traffic, but it is on the highway where things fall apart. Accelerating up to highway cruising speeds takes longer than we would like, and once up to speed, it becomes difficult to perform any sort of brisk overtaking maneuver. You'll have to push the little engine, which in turn creates an unrefined and coarse protestation. Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels via a CVT automatic.

2022 Accent Gas Mileage

With a small capacity four-cylinder engine and a low curb weight, the commuter vehicle known as the Accent is the perfect candidate for low gas mileage figures. This lightweight Korean impresses with best mpg figures of 33/41/36 mpg city/highway/combined. The Nissan Versa CVT, by comparison, will achieve best figures of 32/40/35 mpg. The 2022 Hyundai Accent is fitted with an 11.9-gallon fuel tank, which should give it a maximum range of 428.4 miles.
