2025 Hyundai Accent top 5 highlights
1. Design
The new Accent is based on a bigger and wider platform. Badged 'K-platform', this new chassis has been co-jointly developed by Hyundai and Kia for their global models. Hence, the design of the new Accent is more sharp and futuristic as compared to the old Accent. The front design highlights include vertical LED DRLs which are connected by a LED light bar on the nose. The LED headlamps are integrated into the front bumper. Also, the sloping roof and coupe-like rear design make it look like a mini-Elantra. The rear design highlight is the new L-shaped LED taillights with a connected LED light on the boot. Hyundai is also offering three design choices for alloy wheels on the top variant.
2. Features
The new 2025 Accent is 95 mm longer and 36 mm wider than the outgoing model. Hence, the cabin is now more spacious and well-equipped with the latest wireless features. The new dashboard design offers a curved connected display with dual digital screens for speedometer and infotainment. The new Accent comes equipped with a new two-spoke steering wheel along with mounted audio and cruise control switches. Other key features include an electric sunroof, wireless phone connection, wireless phone charging, leather upholstery and steering wheel, rear AC vents, front ventilated seats, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, heated ORVMs, auto-dimming IRVM, and more. The top variant is offered with a choice of three different colour themes for the leather upholstery.
3. Safety
Carrying forward the legacy of safety for passengers in its cars, Hyundai has added autonomous safety assist functions on the new Accent. The new ADAS level 2 features in the Accent offer - blind spot monitoring and assist, front collision avoidance assist, adaptive cruise control, reverse camera with tyre guidelines, lane keep assist, hill hold and hill descent control, and more. Standard safety features include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, all-four disc brakes with brake assist function, ISOFIX child seat option, and three-point seatbelts for rear passengers.
4. Engine performance and fuel economy
With the 2025 Accent, Hyundai has improved the engine performance, refinement, and fuel economy of the car. It comes powered by a single engine option i.e. a 1.5L naturally-aspirated petrol motor. This is a globally used engine and it is known for its refinement and silent drive quality. The max power produced by it is 115 PS and 147 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a reliable CVT automatic gearbox for a comfortable driving experience. For quick overtakes and fast driving, the new Accent also comes equipped with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Moreover, the acclaimed fuel economy of this engine stands at 18.9 km/l.
5. Price, variants, and rivals
The 2025 Hyundai Accent is being offered in two variants - Comfort and Smart. The base trim Comfort is priced at AED 74,000 without VAT and other taxes. However, the better-equipped Smart variant is priced at AED 82,000 without VAT and other taxes.
