In Saudi Arabia, with the increasing demand for budget cars in the automotive market, the Hyundai Accent has come into the limelight with its stylish design and value for money.
A popular compact car, the new generation Accent has not only been fully upgraded, but also incorporates a host of digital technology and smart features, making it perfect for daily commuting and family use.
The Hyundai Accent is currently available in Saudi Arabia in 4 models priced from SAR 70,035.
Stylish appearance and exquisite design
The Hyundai Accent features a new exterior design that makes it stand out from the rest of its class. The front end is equipped with horizontal LED light clusters and a black chrome parametric grille, revealing a front-end styling that is both modern and aggressive.
Meanwhile, the LED headlights and LED combination taillights add more sense of technology and high class to the whole car, which not only improves the recognisability while driving, but also enhances the safety of driving at night.
In terms of body dimensions, the new Accent has a length, width and height of 4,535mm, 1,765mm and 1,475mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,670mm, which not only ensures plenty of space inside the car, but also improves the stability and comfort of the entire vehicle.
Users can also choose from a wide range of stylish body colours, including the classic Athens White, Deep Night Blue Pearl and Flaming Red Pearl in eight colours to meet individual needs.
Advanced Technology and Intelligent Configurations
The new Accent has been significantly upgraded on the inside, reflecting Hyundai's focus on the digital experience. The interior features an 8-inch multimedia control system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, allowing owners to easily connect their smartphones and enjoy convenient multimedia features.
In addition, the highly-equipped interior features a Bose® audio system that enhances the driving experience through superior sound quality. User-friendly features such as wireless charger and C-type USB port also provide users with a more convenient charging experience.
It is worth noting that the Accent's seats not only provide a comfortable ride, but are also heated and ventilated, especially in the hot climate of Saudi Arabia, where the ventilated seats will provide great comfort to the driver and passengers.
Power & Performance
In terms of power, the Accent offers a choice of two engines: a 1.5-litre MPi petrol engine and a 1.5-litre VGT diesel engine. The petrol engine has a maximum power of 115 hp (6,300 rpm) and a maximum torque of 14.7 kgm (4,500 rpm), which is suitable for the smooth performance needs of daily driving.
The diesel engine, on the other hand, provides more powerful output with a maximum torque of 25.5kgm and delivers plenty of power from as low as 1,500rpm to 2,750rpm, improving the vehicle's fuel economy.
It is worth mentioning that the new Accent features an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), a transmission that adjusts shift timing based on real-time data to provide a smoother shifting experience. In addition, users who prefer the pleasure of manual driving can also choose models equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission to further enhance driving pleasure.
All-round security protection
In terms of safety, the Accent offers a range of advanced driver assistance systems to ensure the safety of owners and passengers on the road. These include Forward Collision Alert (FCA), which is able to automatically apply the brakes when a danger is detected in front of it, avoiding collisions; and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA), which help to keep the vehicle in its lane by automatically correcting the steering wheel, making it particularly suitable for long-distance, high-speed journeys.
The vehicle is also equipped with Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) and a reversing camera to provide users with better visibility and safety alerts on narrow roads or in heavy traffic.
A 6-airbag system fitted as standard throughout the vehicle also provides passengers with a full range of passive safety protection.
Comfort and practicality
The 2025 Accent not only breaks new ground in technology and safety features, it also excels in practicality. The car's rear seats support 60/40 split-reclining, providing owners with more luggage space, which is especially suitable for travelling with more luggage or bulky items.
The smart boot auto-open function further enhances user convenience. Simply carry the smart key near the rear of the vehicle and the boot will open automatically without manual operation, suitable for shopping or carrying items when using the scenario.
Conclusion
As a globally popular compact sedan, the Hyundai Accent is available in the Saudi market with its stylish exterior design, rich smart technology features and excellent power performance. Whether it is a family user who pursues economical and practicality, or a young consumer who focuses on smart experience, Accent can meet their needs.
