I have bought my new Accent Executive, in April 2009. Since the day I purchased it, I fell in love with it. Its an Amazing Car, before buying it, I already had the Driving experience of almost 75,000 KMs in Maruti - 800, so it was a tough descision to switch over from Maruti to Hyundai for me. But today I can say, I am proud of my Descision to buy this gracious old fashioned " Aunty " from Hyundai. The Engine is smooth & powerful, accleration is great, even the feul economy is ok, with arround 10 - 11 Kmpl in City and arround 15 kmpl on the highways, after the first two services. A/C is one of its best features, its better than Logan, Indigo, Dizare, and even Aveo's A/C when it comes to cooling One can definately go for this beuty without any hesitation... Hyundai is not going to wave it off..... they just can not.....as the popular saying of " OLD IS GOLD ", comes really true with this mechine.A total Value for money Car, Good style, Powerful A/C, Gerat EngineLess Ground Clearance, Length

I just bought this car two weeks back. I was looking for Hyundai i20 before deciding on accent. The reason for selecting accent is of course, you are getting a better engine than i20 for the same price. While i20 has got 1200 cc engine and is little sluggish (I found all hatchback little sluggish on power, the worst being Punto), accent is powerful compared to i20 or all other hatchbacks. But at the same time, it will be foolish to compare accent to any hatchback except the price range.

As far as driving quality, the engine is powerful (better than linea, which has got less power at a higher price) and stable. The response of the engine is also good. I really like its gear, which is very smooth. I believe its a common feature in all Hyudai car. It has got lots of space inside the car and the foot rest next to the clause is a good feature to give rest to one of your feet while driving. The steering wheel is also quite smooth and very responsive. As far as negative aspect goes, I believe the dashboard should be little more stylish. But at the price, it seems to be a good buy.

The seating is comfortable and can accomodate 5 peoplr easily. The front and back space is quite enough for a comfy seating. The cup holder should have been little big to accomodate at least mineral bottle or cold drinks bottle. The AC is quite powerful and even at the minimum speed it becomes really cold inside the car (may be bcoz of rainy season). The car remote should have a buzzer while closing the window and it helps in locating your car while parking in a crowded parking lot.

Overall, I will rate it good because of its driving quality but the mileage (6.5 on an average in the city with full AC) could have been better.

Hi,

Am writing this review with a view to share my experience related to the purchase of this car in the month of June this year, if you guys trust, better buy a car which is not outdated, having variants available.

I realise this now, if you see, A/C loovers are loose, most of the defects even dealers wonder.

This car might have queened the segment, but majority of you would agree that its high time to look at alternatives, no doubt the car is better compared to the alternates available with Maruti & GM in terms of power and efforts of company directly touching base with the customers to resolve their problems, but I feel look at the alternates available.

Best wishes,

Kapil Malik

Power wise goodoutdated

 

Exterior Exteriors are classy and gives a royal feel to viewers and the user. Only thing not up to the mark is that the nose is too long which can be reduced. This helps in easy maneuvering in heavy traffic.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Wooden finish console is great and anyone who sees it simply falls in love with it.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is powerful and gears get a bit rusty with age. Poor mileage is one thing that pinches the most. I derive 10 KMPL in city without AC and 15 KMPL on highway without AC. Expect more at least on the highways.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth and great. I drive non-stop 4 hours and never even feel fatigued. I have driven 1500 kms in 48 hours but did not feel strained. I am very happy with it.

 

Final Words Overall a good luxurious car with great driving pleasure. But like all proud Indians, mileage is something very important to me. If the engine capacity can be reduced to 1200 or 1300 cc, i feel mileage can be improved to customer's liking.

 

space and luxurymileage

Some of the Pros:
* Best value for money for the price.
* 97BHp engine (on paper); has nice drivability overall
* Quite spacious in front and back. Plenty of leg-room. Boot space also quite good.
* Driving comfort is decent. Suspension works fairly well.
* Brakes are decent.
* Stock tyres are 13” Bridgestone and provide good grip and comfort, low noise.
* Fuel economy is better than expected. Engine is yet to run-in but I get > 10kmpl in city (with mixed A/C) and got approx.15kmpl in my highway drive (with mixed A/C) @ speeds 60-90kmph.
* Known to be quite reliable and problem-free.Dependable Hyundai service
* Car has adjustable headlamps, body colored mirrors and side-skirts.
* Steering gives feedback at upto moderate speeds.Have to check at high speeds.
* A/C is quite good and fast-acting in the front. Have to check at the back.
* With windows closed and A/C on, there is almost complete silence in the car. Great for enjoying music :-)

Some of the Cons:
-- Steering is heavy, though car has power steering.
-- Gearbox is notchy. 1st-2nd and 2nd- 3rd are particularly so. Quick throws are not possible and I have to change gears slowly for smooth shifts.
-- Clutch does not release smoothly. I can hear a small sound when it releases.
-- Acceleration is gentle and gradual. Stomping on the pedal doesn’t produce immediate response. Particularly with A/C on. Of course after the engine is run-in this may change.
-- Engine is not very smooth. With windows down, sound is almost as much as the Swift diesel. Again, may change after it is run-in properly.
-- Headlights are just average. Especially on the highways, I felt they are quite insufficient. Am upgrading to HID lamps.
-- Seating is low. I’m about 5’10” but when I’m reversing, the view is not confidence-inspiring. From the back of the car, more than ½ the car length is not visible while reversing. No provision to raise the seats also.
-- Rear view mirror though clear, is small and does not offer sufficient view. Even with both side mirrors setup + the rear view, the rear view coverage is not complete. As it is, I keep the left-side mirror folded to prevent it from being hit & broken.
-- Not many storage spaces in the car. Nothing at all for the passengers at the back.
-- Paint job is average. After just one wash, I can see some difference in the look. May require regular polish to maintain the exterior looking good. This includes the plastic bumpers/panels.

Hi

This happens to be my first review on carwale. I bought Hyundai Accent(Executive) in May'09 after a well detailed research.

Initially I wanted a brand other than Hyundai as the car which i was driving curently was Santro so thought it would be a good change. My budget was 6 lacs. I tried various options from Chevy Aveo,DZIRE,Ford IKON etc. Finally I thought of giving a try to Accent Executive(on dad's persistence!!).

Well though other cars are good too but when I drove Accent i just simply loved it. It's too smooth on comparison with it compatriots like DZIRE(good car but somehow the rear isn't that attactive, also engine is 1.3 only) , IKON(fuel guzzeller and add to it the maintainence..phew!) , Aveo(good car but GM busted!!).

Accent had no issues like above. It has less maintainence compared others. The executive model has come up with new wooden interiors which look great with beige dashboard. Also the leather top steering and leather top gear adds to the comfort. The car just cruises along. The Air conditioner is tooo effective. Chills the cars in minutes.

The only con which i can see is that ground clearance is low which sometimes is a concern while driving on very rough tracks(which one doesn't encounter in city). Since it's been only 2 months I bought the car so can't comment much on the avg part.Most imp it is a great value for money!!

Cheers

Vey Comfortable(good leg-room), excellent interiors, smooth driveLow ground clearance

 

Exterior Looks Very Handsome and I could say Masculine. Neat Finish and Stylish Exterior. Looks big and strong and long too.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its very comfortable at the driver seat (I dont know the rest as I dont take any other seat especially in this car).

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is superbly responsive, FE is on lower side, Gearbox is very smooth and comfortable. The Gearbox is feather touch which is surprisingly pleasant as the car is big and heavy.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Both Ride quality and Handling are very satisfying. It gives a "Feel Good" feeling every time. The car is very easy to handle and also it turns in small radius for a long sedan. The Steering is very powerful and the car is a pleasure to drive. I have driven this many times to Pune from Mumbai on the expressway and this car is so easy to drive.

 

Final Words I feel very satisfied at having purchased this car after trying out many sedans. Most of the other cars were not so easy to handle especially the gear changing was a bother in other cars in traffic.

 

Areas of improvement The Auto-Lock has some issue. The car gives a siren without any reason at all and I had to rush many times to silence it at the parking lot. So the desi-solution is to lock it manually at the central lock or with manual key. Dont use the Auto-Lock to lock it. I dunno whether this problem is limited to my unit or a general problem.

 

I also feel that Hyundai could consider to introduce the Accent Viva model. I feel it looks better.

 

Massive 'Feel Good' FeelingKey Lock has problem

Exterior Smoot,attractive & Pleasing.

Interior Features, Space & Comfort Each & evey thing inside the cabin is excellant, nicely & pricesly designed & built. Nobodycan carry a few elephants in a in the Smsonite brief case. A lot of people dont understand the meaning of Luxery.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I had owned a Lancer, an Esteme, Maruti  Gypsy, M800 & a Logan [short period]. Comparing to all thse [except Lancer] This Accent is a any day superlative car & no regretts at all. Regading the cars' Gear Box, The smoost unit [in the indian automobile history] The geart box is the Greased Lightening.

Ride Quality & Handling Everything is Excellant *****

Final Words There is only one word, it is an excellant & well built car ***** that returns 12.5 Kpl with A/C on.

Areas of improvement Body Rusting is very quick. Especially more & faster rusting for those are near sea shore area or annex to to this area. Pricisly 2Kms away from the sea. Factory must give a couple of extra anti rust coating.

In tis aspect The MARUTI has beaten the HYUNDAI. I am sorry to mention this because my maruti cars which i had [above mentioned] never rusted Quickly as the ACCENT. the. This my 2nd Accent in 3 yrs.

This is an excellant middle & Upper Middle Class car.

Each every thing is absolutely fine [excellent value for what U pay for]Front wind shield [atrociously fogging] in rainy / heavy rain. It is like playing Russian Roulette

 

Exterior Stunning Exterior looks. stylish looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior comes with wooden dashboard - You will love it.. Only thing is if you place leather seats, it jus looks awesome.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is awesome, Gear box is excellent while shifting the gears. You can speed upto 140 with persons. Jus go for it. I bought this car in 2008 September and rode for 51000 kms. Till now I have never faced any major problems in regards with the engine. On city it gives mileage of 10-11kmpl and on highway it gives 14-16kmpl - both with AC. Its just an amazing car for all Sedan seekers. Best to buy for a Sedan Entry. Worth for Money!!!

Ride Quality & Handling Best in class.

Final Words Jus Love my car....!!! Itz awesome.

Areas of improvement All Hyundai models provide good engine, but they lack in fuel economy. If this is corrected, People will not leave Accent or any other model from Hyundai!!

Great Style, superb AC, Powerful, ComfortFuel Economy
