Hyundai Accent RB (Sedan) (2011-2026)

Value for money! – Excellent mileage Zero maintenance Punchy engine Bought it second hand in 2015 it is a 2013 model. Using every day since 2015 Currently sitting at 140000 bought it at 37000 Only issues: No cruze control which sucks  Show details

WORST CAR EVER OWNED – How I wish I could get ‘a refund’ for this piece of junk. An absolute waste of money, avoid at all costs! This car was gifted to us (brand new) from my mother in-law so there was no choice in the matter, but essentially this car has the worst performance, terrible features, faults galore and provides no enjoyment whatsoever. The car absolutely… Read more

struggles going up any incline, and if you’re ever in need of quick movement in traffic situations, you’ll quickly find yourself the victim of surrounding irate drivers. The motor is insanely sluggish - even in the useless ‘sports mode’. Entering freeways poses danger when trying to merge as the tiny motor sounds like it’s going to burst before reaching 80km p/hr.

The car is so poorly designed, there is constant fogging of front and rear windows ALL YEAR ROUND. There seems to be dirty air movement travelling through the vents constantly despite the car being professionally cleaned and diligently replacing the pollen filters via the overpriced official Hyundai service centre. Offensive smells emanate from the AC system every time it’s turned on.

Parking the car is also difficult as the slope of the car from bonnet to window is quite steep, same for the rear, it’s quite hard to know where the vehicle actually ends. I don’t know how this car is classified as a sedan... it’s so small! Good luck fitting ANYTHING IN IT! we can’t even put 2 suitcases in the boot because it’s so small! The legroom in the back seat for passengers is laughable. I had more room in my VW Golf than this thing.

The interior is extremely cheap and there is plastic everywhere. Understandably the cost of the car is at the lower end, but being brand new there is absolutely no design consideration or thought invested in this cheap box on wheels. The onboard system is so clunky and unresponsive. Bluetooth chops in and out, phone numbers disappear from phone book, the screen has to be pressed 2-3 times for it to register your selection. When you turn your car headlights on, the dashboard and screen is dimmed so low, so that during dusk/dawn/low light you can’t see or read your own speed... SUCH AN OVERSIGHT!

Do yourself a favour and purchase something else! ANYTHING ELSE other than this poorly designed, unconsidered, absolute waste of money.

My dream car! – Ok so maybe not my dream car but this one is perfect for me my daily commute. A spacious cabin, smooth comfortable ride. Love the Apple Carplay touch display which lets you control your music, maps and podcasts. I've only had it for 6 months now so haven't had a service yet but there's no issues whatsoever. Exceptional value too! Show details

Love my Accent – This Accent is used everyday I’ve had it for 6 months brand new and hasn’t let me down once got 22,000KM already in 6 months it’s a basic car but get you to A to B safely and stylish I would highly recommend Hyundai to friends and family. Show details

Super great value – Just traded in accent 2000 model after purchasing for partner 19yrs ago,I can not believe Hyundai still sell these cars at these prices,the sedan is bigger for our now family of five,misses loves it,Kids love it,I love it,I can't believe people would pay any more for a car,Cheers,Krusty. Show details

Amazing car – I bought my Accent sport just over a year ago now and am loving all the comfort and sporty features. It gets me from point A to point B in comfort. Show details

Great small car, excellent value for money – We've had the Accent for 16 months and have grown quite attached to it. We were looking for a late model used car (not a Hyundai) when my wife pointed out that a brand new Accent would actually be cheaper! Taking into account the extra money we would save through 15,000km servicing, better fuel economy and the 5 year warranty - we took the plunge… Read more

with Hyundai and we aren't disappointed. Friendly service, great reliability and ongoing $avings! If you want a more powerful car with cruise control, GPS, reversing camera, extra space, you name it, then expect to pay a lot more - both up front and forever after. We paid extra to add reversing beepers and you need an iPhone so that the car stereo can provide directions and map while you drive. There are some niggles e.g. at highway speed you have less grunt for overtaking and more road noise. Taller people might find that their rear passengers have less leg room. This car isn't perfect, but it is excellent value for money.

That how we feel, can't live without it – Love it all, we always say we are glad we chose the accent even now a couple of years down the track We get great service, we are happy with the mileage and we still feel it's the best styled vehicle . We love the silver colour we chose and would not change it.  Show details

Loving it – Nice car to drive. Quiet. Reliable car. Nice interior. Enough room for my kids who are 9 & 12 Only costs $39-40 to fill up the petrol tank. Has 2 cupholdets im the centre colsole. Good size boot for a small car too. I have been very happy with it  Show details

Economical Car – Sporty-looking on the outside, with grippy tyres for sporty cornering Roomy interior Quite quick in a straight line Strong after-sales package Cheaper than some competitors Suspension too abrupt over country roads and fidgety on urban arterials Average interior quality Flat seats Lacks engine refinement and overall finesse of best rivals  Show details

Great little car. Very happy with the Accent as a shopping trolley - taxi around town – I replaced our old Pulsar with a brand new Accent in 2017, and I am very happy that I did. The car handles so well, has all the modern conveniences you'd expect in a larger car, including bluetooth, central locking, airbags everywhere, lovely dash and controls, great 5 year warranty. Fuel efficiency is great - around 5L/100 km on the open road,… Read more

and ~ 6.5 around town.

Only slight concern is that road sounds can become loud at speed - needs some insulation under the feet. It is also low, so be careful when parking not to nose into curbs or the front bumper will scrape.

Great value and reliable – We have a Hyundai Accent sendan which we are very happy with. This car was purchased brand new and we haven’t had a single issue with it. The services are only once a year and price capped. Also, this car is very fuel efficient, on interstate drives we manage to use about 4.8 L/100 k, which is really good. The boot is very spacious and the seats are comfortable and roomy. Overall a great car.  Show details

Perfect great car – Great drive stearing smooth. Very quiet but it is only a 1.4 litre engine it can be a little sluggish. Cost about $50 to fuel up get roughly about 430 to 500 kilometers per tank but only has a 40 litre fuel tank. It's a little small on the inside, perfect for a family with 1 to 2 children. A good reliable little car.  Show details

Best car under $16k – i purchased this car 3 months ago, so far very good. Paid $16k automatic Sedan, Red colour plus floor mats etc. I am getting around 660 km for full tank and I.e. around $35. The only disappointment was my friend bought the same car from a different dealer for around $15.2k which is my mistake as i didn't negotiate a better deal with the dealer and not HyundaI's fault.  Show details

Reliable and very light. pretty good sound bar – I've got my Hyundai accent in late 2013 as a brand new, red colour, a beautiful one. it is sedan, manual, 1.6 L. I really like it. it is very handy, very quite on road specially on new asphalt. I love touch screen music player and bluetooth. very good features like automatically turn lights off after turning off the engine. Also it has a huge… Read more

space to carry stuff till 180 cm with all doors closed.

the only negative is about colour. it is going to be scratched very easy even with you nail.

Excellent Economical Small Car – I have driven 3 Accents over the last 10 years & they just get better & better. So economical on fuel, so easy to drive, comfortable & look very stylish. Never had any problems with these cars. Would recommend to anyone, even with a young family as there is enough space to fit 2 young kids with car seats in the back & some space in between.  Show details

Great car for a young female who does city driving – The Hyundai Accent is quite impressive and very nippy. it has excellent road handling abilities and very good braking not only on dry roads but also on wet roads. there is a fair bit of road noise at speed and on rough tar but as a city car it is very good. This car is no good for big people and you are squashed in the back seat if you have three… Read more

large adults in the back and then there is very little leg room if the front seat is put into a comfortable position for the front passenger or driver also the car sits very low when you have 4 or 5 adults and you need to be very careful when driving over speed humps and into driveways as the front and back tend to hit the ground or the centre of the car when going over a speed hump, suspension is too soft in my book. The boot is very big for a small car and can hold a lot of gear. the dash is well laid out. The fuel tank is a bit small and you need to refuel more often.

I feel the fuel consumption could be better as you are chewing more fuel because it has such a small engine and now the newer models are coming out with an even smaller engine where as the older model has a 1.6 ltr, the newer model will come with a 1.4 ltr and I feel it will be a bit too small an engine and do not attempt to put 91 octane fuel in these cars as you will get even less power. City driving you would get between 400 and 500 to the tank.

The Hyundai Accent is very well made and comes with a very good warranty including roadside assist but you won't need the road side assist as the car is very reliable. The paint work is very good. I feel this car would suit a young female driver as it is very safe to drive and has a lot of safety features including the automatic locking doors as they lock automatically when the car moves at about 10klmh and this is a great idea for anyone who drives the car as car jackers can't just open the doors and it unlocks when keys are removed from the column. excellent feature.

The Wheels are 14" but you can option them up to an alloy wheel and bigger tyres.

If you have a clean driving record and 60% no claim and depending on where you live your comprehensive insurance is on the cheapest category saving you heaps.

For country driving this car is very under powered on hills and with the automatic the car wants to constantly change back gears when going up hills and with this you lose what fuel saving you may get for country driving because you are pushing the car up the hills. the manual version of this car might handle the hills better as you have control of when you want to change back a gear.

Overall if you want a car that has pretty much all the bells and whistles and is well made with fixed price servicing for 3 years and you intend to drive just around town and not fit sumo wrestlers in the car then go ahead and test drive one, it is still very nifty and it is a fun car to drive for around town and hey it is pretty good value for the price.

Perfect car under the budget of $17k – I bought this car in Aug 2016. Very economical and pleasant to drive. Plenty of legroom, massive boot and cant complaint about the multimedia. This car could have done better in sales compared to Corolla and Mazda 3, if Hyundai would have included standard feature like cruise control and rear view camera.  Show details

Great economocal and spacious car – Great spacious car and economical. Seating comfortable. Drives really good everwhere city and country. Only issue there is no arm rest for driver left arm. Bluetooth and audio sytem is excellent. 10 year capped servicing and roadside assistance.quite a lot storage bins at front and back.great for new drivers too.  Show details

Hyundai Accent – Recently bought a Hyundai accent. It is compact,powerful for its size and spacious. Easy to handle. It is a manual car and has 6 gears which honestly,I think 5 gears will do. Do not know why have 6 gear. maybe the manufacturer can explain. Overall still as a nice car to drive.  Show details

We are just as in love with this car as when we purchased it over a year ago – Performance is excellent, style cannot be matched,handles like a dream. We feel there is plenty of room and the side mirrors keep such excellent vision. Better than any car we have ever owned. We love the little compartment above the front window that holds my husbands driving glasses. The stereo sound is better in the car than in our home.  Show details

Cheap on fuel – Got it as it was the cheapest sedan in 2012. The 5 years warranty unlimited kms was a major attraction too. Clocking 5.6l/100kms as I do more than 100kms every day on a manual transmission. Only problem I had was the rattling sound coming from the sunvisor which I just got it replaced last service(renewal covered by warranty).  Show details

We are loving our car and are more than satisfied with its purchase – Great performance,low noise, great vision with side mirrors, comfort in seating great, legroom and interior room exceptional for a sedan. Reliability excellent running costs economical. The dashboard lights and indicators are clear and at night I feel like I am piloting an aircraft. . After taking the Drive to survive course we are now more aware… Read more ·  1

of how safe this car is and it has given us a feeling of safety and security in handling the vehicle better

Best Value for Money – All I can say is that this is the best value for money car....!!! YES YES YES If you are planning to buy car in next year, then look out for offers on this car sometime they have special like 0% interest or price reduced by $2000.....and that is the time I got mine.....I recently bought this car in Jan 2015 and it is going superb so… Read more

far.............. !!! Toyota is good but they will rip you off with extra $8000 - $10,000 for the same quality that Hyundai gives you.........This is my second Hyundai before this I had Hyundai Lantra which I used for 7 year!! ...Thank you Hyundai for providing value for money car.

The only negative things I can say that be-careful of dodge Sydney dealers...!!! few helpful tips if you are buying new car

1. Never take paint or fabric or body protection from dealers when you purchase your car..........those things are not required and if you want them then you can always get those after purchase.............

2. I didn't buy any extra mechanical or any other kind of warranty from dealers..........use your instinct if you are going to sell the car after 5 year then no point to get any extra warranty.......if you are using it more then trust me ....it is better to give money to mechanic at that time then to give it to car dealer who might not be in business by that time.........!!

3. Always visit 3 dealers and get the price and ask for best price before you leave show room.........!

Best Value for money – Very reliable car, looks very modern and stylish has come a long way since the old excel.. Bought this car new in 2012, have had no issues whatsoever. Cheap on fuel and came with 5 year manufacturers warranty plus free roadside.. Highly recommend if your after a small reliable car!  Show details

Great, reliable run-about – We've owned the Accent RB Diesel Active, one of the last of it's kind since early 2013 (it was a late 2012 model), automatic transmission. The power in the diesel engine was very impressive and comparable to a 2.0L car. It's a sedan, so boot space is generous. We have to say that seating leg and headroom is quite generous for this size car. The… Read more

economy is awesome, achieves about 4.9l/100 on mix suburban/highway driving and there's very little turbo lag. We've driven the petrol also, the engine seems to have ample power and decent fuel economy from when we had one as a loan car.

We've been so impressed with how well it's done that rather than trade it in for another Accent as they've stopped selling the Diesel model here, we've upgraded things ourselves on it like a 7" inch stereo with reverse camera, reverse sensors, alloy wheels, fog lights, etc to make it that little bit more premium.

The negatives aren't so many - the steering column tilts only, so it can be challenging to find a comfortable position if you're a bit taller.

The windows tend to get some sort of fog from the fumes on the plastic and this tends to be common with the Hyundai's, even with the windows tinted and dash mat, etc. We've got Hondas and Holdens that are parked in the same conditions and don't get this problem.

The rubber around the windows and headlamps seem to be fading a bit to the point where it's pretty noticeable and the car is washed regularly, so Hyundai have expressed that this will be covered upon the next visit.

All in all, it's a strong, reliable car and well worth considering.
