NOTES:
Year: 2019
Make: Hyundai
Model: Accent
Trim: SE
Korean Name: 현대 베르나 (Hyundai Verna)
Type: 4-door Subcompact Car
History: Fifth generation. Hyndai has been making the Accent - in some form or another - since 1994.
MSRP: $15,995 (with an automatic transmission)
+ 15-inch alloy wheels
Engine: 1.6L Inline 4-cylinder
Transmission: 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC capability
Horsepower: 130 hp at 6,300
MPG City: 28
MPG Highway: 38
Combined Rating: 33
Fuel Tank Capacity: 11.9 gallons
Cost for a full tank: $3.00 $35.70
+ 5-inch color LCD touchscreen
+ Bluetooth Connectivity
Handling:
+ A little rough. You do feel the bumps at highways speeds. But for normal driving, it worked great.
ACCELERATION:
So, the 0 to 60 time on the Accent is around 10 seconds on the on the "Limited" trim level using the automatic transmission. It's actually closer to 7.5 on the manual (if you're curious).
Anyway, this car is not fast. But it does get great gas mileage which is why I would be attracted to this car. Not speed.
CABIN NOISE:
+ I'm not gonna lie, it's a little louder that I would have liked. But it's not horrible. I just had to turn up the volume on my audiobook by about 10 to 20%.
FINAL THOUGHTS: 4 stars
The MSRP on this car is around $16,000, but with incentives I bet you can get this vehicle for much, much less. So if you're looking for a new car, and you trying to stick to a strict budget, I think this is a great option. You get a nice vehicle, with up to date technology, with great gas mileage for a very reasonable price.

Hello! I love cars like the Accent. I realize it's not super fancy, but this is a really good car for the price. And I kinda wish there were more options like this out there. Cheap, reliable, and fun to drive. What else do you really need?
100 Rental Cars I have a 2019 Ford Mustang ecoboost convertible with 620 miles on it as a rental from enterprise i’ve also had this car (accent) twice and I’ve tried another car similar to this one called the chevy cruze which they don’t make anymore when i travelled to Baltimore Maryland i used to always be given the cruze. Have u ever had the Chevrolet cruze as a rental ?
Thanks for reviewing the 2019 Accent, it is a great car for the money!
Yep, I've driven the Cruze a couple of times. I like it, it's a nice car. But not as nice as a 2019 Mustang! And with only 620 miles?!?! How'd you manage that?
100 Rental Cars It’s easy to get brand new cars when you rent from National. I got a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited with 90 miles on it from National a couple weeks ago.
100 Rental Cars the Mustang was half off i booked a compact car and they gave me a Mustang the people at the enterprise i rent at even give me their numbers and ask me to text them when i want a certain car
Not everyone has the cash to spend and need cheap cars. Solid basic transportation. Great review, thanks!
Thanks!
Chuck Iringtwice: Hi...Dig: Some well to do, or should I say living comfortably, peeps who live in NYC and street park occasionally, would really go for the Accent. Not only those who are financially strapped. It's one thing to be frugal and another to be practical. Leaves whatever cash one can have for other goodies. Get my drift? Peace...♐
Yes but you could get literally anything that has an armrest in the front
Right I need something to get me from point A to point B
No CVT, no turbo and no electric E brake? I'll take one in white, thank you.
Mike Morales i agree. Hyundai has so far avoided the crappy CVT
Woud take this over a Corolla any day of the week
I refuse to get anything with CVT, turbo or even GDI, if nothing else is available, I guess I'll buy only used or go back to a pedal car.
Sadly, they say the 2020 Elantra will likely have a CVT...
Hell nah I always want I have a turbo
I own this amazing machine! If anyone is thinking of owning this: It is slow in regular drive mode but if you hit the Sport Mode button in the bottom of the console under the temperature control like he mentioned, it improves a lot. I've gone pretty quick combining this with the manual shifting! I spend 20 to 25 dollars for a full tank of gas and get 420+ miles of range out of it.
highly recommend this as a first car. Some decent aftermarket parts floating around too.
Mine is on the way 2022 SE & i know is going to be awesome!👍
Your reviews are great because you look at vehicles that most people buy as opposed to the fully equipped vehicles the critics review.👍
I gave to say that this car is decent. Better then a Versa.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the Versa either. I have wanted to try out the Versa Note for a while though. It just never seems to be available at Enterprise.
Disney Fan yes the versa is so sad. The note is not much better. The Note has been dropped for 2020. A new versa will be here then. Hopefully much improved
Nissan just revealed the 2020 Nissan Versa this passed weekend
@@100RentalCars Yea the Note has been killed for 2020, shame because I thought it was decent enough that we bought one. Guess I'll have to buy all the extra stuff for it that I wanted soon then lol
100 Rental Cars I got to drive a Versa note because My Location got a 2018 Versa Note SV with 34,000 miles on it. It was a bit better then the Versa sedan but not much better.
A very down to earth and thorough car review. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
I just rented this car. Fun. Nimble. Decent steering. Smooth transmission.
Howdy, great review as always! It’s amazing how much stuff you get for how little you spend with this car and Hyundai’s/Kia’s in general ! 😸😸
Howdy! Agreed, there's quite a bit to love inside this little car.
I've got this car in the limited trim. It is VERY NICE for it's size. Even the lower model SE and SEL models. Mine has a sunroof, heated seats, Keyless entry and remote start, an 8 inch touch screen with Android auto and apple carplay. 18 inch wheels, Projector headlamps, auto opening trunk, Auto emergency braking, Blue Link and more. It's comfortable, nimble and peppy. The areas I would complain is the gas mileage. With the GDI motor, yes it's got more pep than the rest of the class, but unless you feather the gas pedal, you won't get the government estimated ratings. For me, that's ok. I think next to the Honda fit, this would be one of the top two in the class. Good video! Thumbs up
I got a limited as well and I go to work and do lyft ... Love the lil car actual kinda quick but not fast and I get the gas estimate most of the time ... But I do alot of highway driving ... My only complain is no light n the glove compartment lol oh and I might have over paid for it ( another story al together) but other than that I luv it
ToyotaCelicaDude1 It’s nice but I like my 17 Elantra Limited better 😊
@@whitney2162 Yeah, the Elantra limited would definitely be better just because it's a more expensive car. But I do agree with you, tons of better cars than this. I traded in for a Lexus 😍😍
How is it now in August 2020? Still good-no issues??
@@IPULCOLUMBIA I got rid of it in June of 2019, it had almost 50k miles on it. It was still going strong, no issues whatsoever. I always kept up on all maintenance, always replaced the oil with full synthetic every 3k miles, always used Hyundai oil filters. I did one transmission service while I had it as well 😊. Now I have a Lexus, the Accent was just too small for me...
Great review on a great car. I bought this exact model on the 4th of July and I'm very happy with my purchase. It's a beautiful little car. It reminds me of the Elantras little brother. It'll grow on you
Very good review and very good channel! I really enjoy watching your videos. 😊
Just got one in black, the basic entry model with a manual transmission and without bluetooth media capability (I'm old school - I still use mp3s so the USB is enough). Just needed a new car to get me to the office and back.
I must say it is quite fun to drive. Plus I'm a fan of how it looks. I'm really satisfied with this car.
I have the 2020 accent SE in manual, just put 6,000 miles on it in the past several months and all in all it’s a very nice car. In the winter months I average about 38 mpg city, in the warmer months and on highway driving I averaged 43-45mpg which is fantastic compared to the 27 my previous car was getting me. One notable thing about the 2020 is the engine was redesigned again (still a 1.6l) the oil is now 0w-20 instead of 5w-20 and the oil filter is now a cartridge rather than the traditional spin on as most cars have. This filter has some bonuses like being able to drain the oil with the removal of a small plug on the canister so there’s less mess, however the negative here is no local parts stores or quick lube in my area have the filter in stock so I have to buy them from the nearest dealer which is 45 minutes from home.
Also I really enjoy your reviews! Keep it up!
Thanks for info on the oil filter. I got 3 years free maintenance with my 2022. But 8k intervals seems too long to me.
Finally I found the car which my son will be driving. Cheap and high on mileage.👍
Thanks for this review!!
You're welcome!!
My mom and I brought my sister 2018 Hyundai Accent in the SEL Trim. My sister needed a bigger car and I needed another car. So I took on the Accent. The Hyundai Accent is an good vehicle. It has it's Pro's and Con's but overall if you need a cheap car this is a great choice. I recommend if you decide to buy an Accent get the SEL or Limited Trim. Personally, I like the SEL Trim better. It has Wayyyyy more then I need in a vehicle. I don't have to have all the Bells and Whistles in a vehicle. So far it has been a great small car. It will get you where you want to go and need to go.
I agree, it's a great car. Granted it doesn't have a ton of features, but who cares. It drives well and and it's a good lookin' car.
I have a much older Accent, but it's good to know that all the features that I like are still there! Although I guess that they never fixed the problem with the trunk and the gas cap! I have the same problem. Still, definitely considering another Accent when this car dies.
Thanks for the review. I got this car in December '18. Was hesitating between a used Camry/Corolla and this and finally decided to buy a new car. As I live in Eastern Europe, I got the Russian version of the car, which doesn't have sport seats or touchscreen (available on top model only), and instead gets heated seats and steering wheel and a stronger suspension system for awful Russian roads. All in all, here are my pros and cons.
Pros:
- Reliability. Obviously, it is new, but Accent is known for being very reliable and even if it breaks, it costs less to fix than a German or Japanese.
- Superb trunk space. It is bigger than Camry's! And also bigger than pretty much any hatchback, with only the height being a problem with getting some tall/wide stuff in.
- Nice options, as shown in the video
- Most plastics don't look as cheap as they actually are. If you don't touch the nice looking plastic, you wouldn't know that it's very hard.
- Standard classic engine and transmission. Mine's engine is chain-driven, don't know about NA market.
- Overall feel and quality is great for this price point
- Handsfree works great
- Great design for a compact car, especially the rear lights and this dark grey color is awesome (I have it as well). so is blue, but white and black do not look good.
- Interior looks a lot better than a used base Corolla. Also has more tech
Cons:
- Might be region-specific, but I only got 2 airbags. I wish I could have side ones as well.
- Road noise is a bit too much if you are sensitive to that stuff. I'm not.
- I feel the steering wheel cover will wear pretty quickly. Same for the buttons, so I don't press them a lot lol
Congratulations on your new car. And thanks so much for your amazing comment!
@@100RentalCars Thanks!
I love my Hyundai accent personally. Super reliable
Thanks! I’m looking at a daily driver. This looks like it could be the one.
I have the 2020 model and I love my car it's so awesome, I have the sport/eco setting which goes pretty fast.
Me too... 2020 sport SE. I love it. Super quick and fun in sport mode. Gas mileage is great.
This is great reveiw. Thanks you
Thanks!
Might meet my needs, A to B, a radio and a heater.
I think it's a great budget vehicle. I'd buy one.
I have the 2019 Accent, I noticed you did not show the cup holders in the doors. I agree with you, it is priced nicely and with Road and Track, it handles well. Although I did have to add @ 40+ more horses. I've had motorcycles with more hp. Thanks for the review. Oh mpg 40+.
Thank you for your review
You're welcome!
I almost got a civic but this car is just too simple, cheap, and reliable. I got a 2019 accent and I intend to drive it for at least a decade.
does it have seat warmers?
Are you still driving it ?
My 1.5l 1999 accent hatch with manual trans still running like a new car
I think it is a beautiful, well designed little car. It is rated as a compact rather than a subcompact car because it has so much interior space. With fewer bells and whistles, there is less to break down. If you pay more than 14K for this car, you paid too much. I like the 2020 Corolla better, but it is much more expensive and has a shorter warranty.
Christopher Calder I like the accent better. The Corolla have a crappy CVT
@@paulnadratowski3942 Toyota CVTs are well made. The CVT u want to avoid are the Jatco and Nissan combination. Any other brand runs just fine w CVT
It's a nice review.
Thanks Charles!
his voice is so relaxing
Thanks Alex!
Another great video. Very thorough The reverse camera guiding lines are better known as a back up camera with trajectory. I missed if this model has cruise control? I know some base accents and Rios make u level up to get that Thx again!
Base Model Accents have cruise control. Base Model Rio does not.
"Back up camera with trajectory". Got it. I'll use that phrase next time. Thanks!!!
@@ryanlittle6428 A popular mod on the base model Rio's are to upgrade the steering wheel to have the cruise control buttons.
Nice review! I love the new accent! I really want to see a review on it with the manual transmission. Thinking of getting one of these for next car or a Toyota Yaris ia with a manual! Let me know what you would pick. Thanks!
Thanks! I really like the new Accent, but unfortunately I haven't gotten a chance to drive the manual version or the 2019 Yaris yet. I have driven a Yaris in the past and I enjoyed it, although I feel like the quality of the Accent is superior. The Yaris, at least to me, feels very plasticy. And I realize "plasticy" isn't a real word, but it's the best way I can describe it. So I'd go with the Accent, but test drive them both and let me know what you think!
thats what i figured that the accent was the better buy cause you can usually get better discounts on them as well. Also was wondering if I should spend little more money to get into a compact car or is the accent a decent car for the money?
I had the 2014 Accent and its was perfect for me. I miss it so much and will probably update to the newer version when I move back to the states tho. It was just what I needed honestly but i'm sad to see the driver side mirror doesn't have that smaller mirror on the corner to help with your blind spot. I really enjoyed that.
I love the Accent too. It doesn't get much love on the internet, but it's a reliable, fuel efficient, practical car. What's not to love?
I had a 2013 and somebody hit me 9 months ago and I miss it soooo much. Really looking into this one 😍
I have a 14 Accent. I love it
Nice!
I have a Sonata. They're great cars
My 2013 just got totalled :(
Looks like I'm getting a 2019 accent
Helpful 👍🏻
Thanks Jocelyn! ✌️
My family bought a blue one. It’s nice.
Nice, congratulations!
Hello. I own a 2019 Hyundai Accent SE .I bought it in December 2018 as a back up car for $15,600 plus taxes and fees. Added new wheels and tinted the windows. as today September 2023 the car has a little over 16,000 miles. (still a back up car) . now with gas prices in California over $6 I'm glad I own this car. I get around 42 miles per gallon on freeway. (long run.. not in the city ) . I think is a great little car for the money. the only thing that I hate is that there is no Arm rest in the center console. . besides that I'm Happy.
Hyundai used to just include Xm radio on all of their models regardless of trim, not anymore. Nit picky but annoying that they don’t do it anymore. If I had to buy something in this class I’d probably go with an accent or fit.
Looks like a great car for uber/lift drivers, pizza etc drivers or someone just looking for a economical car for low money and cheap to maintain. I think the Elantra is a better deal and car. Another fantastic review 👍
Thanks for the kinda words. And I agree about the Elantra. In fact, I'm just putting the final touches on my edit of the 2019 Elantra GT. It's definitely my favorite out of the Corolla, Accent, Elantra group.
It's great for Uber Lyft I do it n my limited trim
Great car for a high school teen / college beginner.
Agreed. I'm not sure I'd buy at Accent at this point in my life, but there's definitely a need for this type of car.
100 Rental Cars: Hi again, friend! I'm curious: At this stage exactly what vehicle would you buy? I'd like to know. Your reviews are dynamite. I follow them, always. Peace!!! ♐
What car would I buy? Probably something electric. Maybe a Model 3 or a Nissan Leaf?
Looking at these as my first car. Waaaaay better than the Corolla
I got a 2016 accent and it was the best car to start off being a graduate from high school and starting college. I finished college and drove from Ohio to California to live there with no problems. Very reliable car to have as your first one.
I'm a Pastor. This is the car my Church purchased for me to drive around in. It gets me where I need to go. That's about the only good thing I can say. My old car was a Nissan 240sx.
Hi, did you buy the front license plate bracket online? That seems perfectly fit. If so, could you share the link? Thanks a lot.
Hi Lawrence! No, I didn't. This is a rental car, so I'm sorry to say this, but I don't know where the license plate bracket came from. Hopefully you can find something that works for you elsewhere. Good luck!
Nice little trip down Ogden lol
I really like this car.. is there any way I can get good deal on this?
The air conditioning vents for the back are underneath the driver and passenger seat.
Can you customize the car to have an arm rest and back seat pockets?
I get about 32 MPG in the city on my Sonata 2.4, and it’s only rated for 24 MPG.
G H I’d hate to be driving behind you sheesh
chocolatewheelchair I come from a family of absolute horrible drivers, so I go the speed limit. I try to drive conservatively for safety and good gas mileage. But yeah everybody tells me I drive too slow.
Hey! I see parts were filmed in Oswego and Naperville, right?
Dale Gribble Yep
Disney Fan yep
Good eye! I was driving through, so I stopped and filmed a bit.
This car runs great. I rented it and drive it on 75 miles per hour it turns out to be very stable. Much better than some Japanese cars
Center rear arm rest is a $100 option I believe
A manual transmission should be available on all trim levels. I took a trip to Ireland where 80% or better have manual transmissions including full sized cars and crossovers.
does it have a height-adjustable driver's seat?
I prefer a Toyota iA, it’s a bit sportier with a wonderful slick shifting Mazda Manual Standard. But the Accent when I’m SE trim or lower is a really good value. Also available in Manual. Big Plus!
@djkenny I agree was looking into either a ia manual or a newer accent se with manual. Not to sure what I want but I have heard that the ia is a little more fun to drive!
And comfy seats
The 2020 Accent will too have the CVT with a revised 1.6 that'll have port and direct injection.
You have the 2020 already?!? Congratulations. How do you like it?
@@100RentalCars no i read about it.
I need to buy basic car.. I have very low budget around 10k USD.. please suggest.. thanks for good review
I'd buy used
A nice little basic car. The manual transmission version is hard to find and I am almost certain that the majority of them made and sent to the USA will not be equipped with it. In Canada & Mexico, it is worth noting that there is a Hatchback version available, which is what I prefer over a sedan, but there is no such thing for the USA. Also, the manual version is only available with the base SE trim with the base radio w/ no satellite radio or HD radio.
I loved the hatchback model. It was actually the second car I ever reviewed here on UA-cam (please don't search for it, my review was truly horrible). And good to know about the manual option. I still want to try one, but I won't try to hard now knowing that they are so rare.
take the first gen for 2k and buy a rear vew camera if you need it. these cars are build to last.. mine is from 1998 and has allmost 200.000km. i maintain it properly and it still purrs like a kitten.
Umm nothing on how the seats felt in front i was wondering if they were more comfortable than elantra, nothing on navigation
So it's not push to start?
I went with a 2019 Kia Rio that is basically the same car. 4K miles in and I love it!
Congratulations! Glad to hear it's working out. Post a review if you can. I'll gladly link it up here.
I ha e the SEL which has even less😭
I want the led headlights tho
I find Hyundai/Kia's interior black buttons not good quality as they will fade and get smudged and loose their glossiness in time. Looks like they're still using the same type of plastics to this day in 2019.
Definitely not a bad little car, although they should offer a top-end model with leather.
That would be pretty cool.
And a center console arm rest.
@@zedisdead2785 it comes with a center armrest in the middle and highest trim levels.
No driver's armrest... did that get irritating after a few hours on the road?
Lol my 07 accent has the armrest
I have a 2019 SEL it has the arm rest.
Direct injection kills this one for me. After discounts a much better Elantra with a more durable engine costs barely more.
Does it have Apple car play ?
Looks exactly like my mom's 2016 Kia Rio
Nice review 👍. Any tips for buyers??? If the sticker price is 15995 what is the lowest offer I can ask the salesman man for this car that he can not resist to sell it to me? Thanks
I prefer to buy cars via email, not on person. Decide what you want, then email the dealer and ask them for their best price. Then forward that email to another dealer and ask if they can beat the price. Then do it again, and again, and again. Eventually dealers will say they can't match or beat to offer and you'll be left with the best offer IN WRITING. Give it a try! And good luck.
I got 2 grand off my msrp of 18500.
100 Rental Cars Does this work for monthly loan? Or only for cash payments?
Yes, it can work if you're getting a loan. But it's not as effective since there's extra costs involve when you finance and you won't know how much they are until you're approved. But, you can get your loan first, from a bank or something, have the money ready, and then start negotiating. If you do that, you'll be in a much better position to get a good price.
Does it have android auto?
Does any body know the exact color of this car?
It’s 6 bucks a gallon now lmaoooo
I’m about 6’ tall how was your headroom in the driver seat ? I’m interested in getting one and need an affordable car with decent headroom.
I'm six feet tall and about 165 lbs and I felt very comfortable in the Accent. I also tend to sit up rather straight and I still had zero issues with headroom. And I think this is a perfect "affordable" new car. I really like the new redesign, it feels...well, nicer than it probably actually is. In a good way. Anyway, I say go out and test drive it. I think you'll like it.
I don’t know if you touched on the 10 year 100K mile Powertrain Warranty is a great selling feature. Wait until you see the new 2020 Nissan NOTE. Looks like a Mini Maxima on the outside and on the inside a world of difference.
I didn't, I don't usually talk about warranties, but now that you mention it, maybe it is something I should start talking about. And, WOW! I just Googled the 2020 Nissan Note and you're exactly right, it looks just link a shrunken Maxima. Very cool. I hope I get a chance to drive one soon.
100 Rental Cars The new Versa won’t be on rental lots till late in the summer.
Nice car. But no arm rest?
The next trim level up comes with a center armrest.
Thanks Aamirqz! I wasn't aware of that. Good to know!
8:24 TO 8:39 HE ROUGH HANDED WITH THE GEARS AND BUTTON TOUCH HE GONNA FUCK IT UP BEFORE ITS OVER 😡
I have this car and I don’t have child lock am I missing it somewhere or it doesn’t have it 🥴
Whoever designed this with no armrest in the middle is evil
It comes standard with the next highest trim level.
aamirqz It should come standard on all the trim levels. It’s a basic thing that all cars have
And not to mention god damn fucking seat pockets in the back
My 2018 Accent had a center console/arm rest. The thing is I believe you had to go to the highest trim to get it which was stupid.
Mommy Dearest True but I would still rather just buy a higher class car that’s older for less money than a newer lower class one for more money
The horn
Found the front seat to be extremely uncomfortable.

Wheres the test drive?

Why do all hyundais have such a rough ride???
I don't think it's all Hyundais. But there low end vehicles are definitely uncomfortable.
4 lug nuts on a wheel is always a bad sign
Fairly typical of cheap economy cars. They aren't heavy and aren't designed to carry or tow any real weight so they can get away with cheaping out on the lug nuts. From my perspective as someone who has always driven a half ton pickup since I got my learners at 15 and provisional at 16, only seeing 4 does make the wheels look a bit odd though.
Why do u need 5 lug nuts on a subcompact ...
Jermaine Crump 4 lug nuts is a dead give away it’s a cheap little piece of garbage
@@chocolatewheelchair cars back the a day had 4 lugs on them I got a 94 Honda Accord with 4 lugs on the tires ... Don't know where y'all get this silly
