2006 Hyundai Accent Auto Show Photo

We’ve seen that grille somewhere. That’s it -- the Toyota Echo. Not the first car we’d emulate. The ’06 Accent’s egg shape body is a bit more pleasing, though. The model used to be the Korean maker’s bread-and-butter, but it has since gone on to great success with value-priced mid-size cars and cute utes. So for North America, Hyundai will sell the Accent in only one form, as the well-equipped four-door GLS. The new car is just 1.8-inches taller than the car it replaces, but Hyundai says that with a three-inch height increase and a two-inch driver’s seat height increase, it feels like it’s in a larger size category. Engine is a 110-horsepower 1.6-liter four with continuous variable valve timing, with five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. On-sale in the fall, its features include tilt steering wheel, eight-way driver’s seat, AM/FM/CD with free XM for three months, 60/40 fold-down rear seat and six airbags.
