2020 Hyundai Accent adopts Smartstream engine, picks up 4 mpg combined



A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the base SE, but a CVT is available.




Hyundai's new Smartstream engine family promises some solid fuel economy gains. The first member of the family to make its debut came in the 2020 Hyundai Sonata, but Hyundai clearly wants this engine family in as many vehicles as possible, whether they're at the top or the bottom of the lineup.

Hyundai announced this week that the 2020 Hyundai Accent, its most affordable vehicle, has been given a bit of a freshening up. Namely, it's picked up Hyundai's 1.6-liter Smartstream I4 gas engine, which puts out 120 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque, reductions of 10 hp and 6 pound-feet compared to its previous engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, but a continuously variable transmission is also available.

The output might be down, but fuel economy is up. On the manual-transmission SE model, its combined fuel economy rises from 31 miles per gallon to 33, but the biggest benefit comes to CVT-equipped models, where combined economy jumps from 32 mpg to 36. Considering I saw 41 mpg or more on the highway with a manual in the 2018 model, I imagine this will be one seriously thrifty combination with the Smartstream.

Otherwise, it's business as usual for the Hyundai Accent. A 5-inch touchscreen is standard, but moving up a trim will add a 7-inch system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other solid creature comforts are tucked away in higher trims, too, like a hands-free trunk release, heated seats and automatic climate control.

The 2020 Accent remains the most affordable Hyundai on offer, at Group 1 Hyundai.

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson has a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from IIHS

In one of the industry's most stringent crash tests, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson for sale was been upgraded from a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK to a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award applies to Tucsons equipped with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and LED headlights built after March 2018.




Hyundai has 11 vehicles that have received the TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ Awards when equipped with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights. The other 2019 Hyundai models that have achieved these honours from the IIHS are Accent, Elantra (built after September 2018), Elantra GT, Ioniq Hybrid, Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid (built after July 2018), Kona, Santa Fe, Santa Fe XL, Sonata and Veloster (built after August 2018).


According to IIHS, models that earn TOP SAFETY PICK+ are the best vehicle choices for safety within their size categories. The 2019 criteria required:

  • Good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests
  • Advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention
  • Good headlight rating

"We take safety very seriously at Hyundai. We are proud to hear that Tucson received an upgraded accolade from IIHS," said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Hyundai continues to prioritize making advanced safety features available and standard."


The new standard Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies (listed below) on the Tucson add additional protection for drivers and passengers. For example, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist utilizes radar to help detect another vehicle and warn the driver of a potential collision. If the driver does not react to avoid the impact, the system may apply emergency braking. Other standard safety features include High Beam Assist, Rain-sensing wipers, Surround View Monitor, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.

Hyundai H100 - just perfect for your business


Appearances that count

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. The Hyundai H100 is business-like but elegant and functional. Notice the wide windscreen, the large clear headlights and ClearType front fog and rear lights. They are all elegant enough for a car, as are the relaxed character lines which define the profile.


Wide view outside mirror

A useful and meaningful safety enhancement, especially when parking, wide-angle exterior mirrors provide a panoramic rearview.


Cargo space

Cargo space designed for work with a lower deck height of just 775mm and an unobstructed load area, the H100, from Group 1 Hyundai, makes fast and efficient work of loading and unloading cargo weights of up to 1000 kg. Latching side walls and a bolting tailgate add extra security and cargo protection.

Tool-box

The exterior mounted toolbox is available in three generous sizes to transport and protect your tools.

INTERIOR

An exceptionally efficient and functional comfort

It's no secret that a comfortable workplace improves efficiency, so it's no surprise that the H100 offers a new level of comfort. Extra seat and shoulder width for freedom of movement, a driver-oriented console and car-like instrument cluster put comfort and control at the driver’s fingertips. In additional convenience details such as the forward folding centre front seat, sunglasses and cup holders, together with a whole range of well thought out and organised storage facilities, all combine to provide an exceptionally efficient and functional comfort.


Adjustable driver’s seat

It slides and reclines to keep you comfortable and relaxed. Lumbar support is exclusive to higher grades.

Seatback console

When you fold the middle seat, you can find two cup holders and a tray. Further, the small box, behind the tray to open manually, is offered some space to hold maps and paperwork for a convenient journey.

Bottle storage & door map pocket

Documents, maps, or even light refreshments are easily stored and ready for use in the door-mounted storage pockets.

Room lamp & sunglass holder

Central interior lighting with a built-in holder for the driver’s sunglasses is just one more example of Hyundai’s attention to detail, quality and driver well being.

Glove box

A cool box in a light truck? With the H100 naturally, while the upper tray holds personal and business items conveniently ready to hand. The integrated cup holder is detachable for easy cleaning.

PERFORMANCE

The Hyundai H100 a quiet revolution in light trucks

The H100 engine is powerful enough to make light work of virtually any task or terrain, while surprisingly economical to operate. Compact enough to cope with limited spaces, but with a payload and crew capability usually confined to much larger vehicles.


A2 2.5 CRDi

Fuel type: Diesel
Displacement: 2,497 cc
Max. Power: 130ps / 3,800rpm
Max. Torque: 26.0kg·m / 1,500~3,500rpm

Entering its second generation, the new A2 2.5-litre diesel engine has been substantially refined to reduce vibration and achieve quieter operation. Delivering a top output of 130ps @ 3,800rpm and 26.0 kg·m of peak torque over the 1,500 to 3,500 rpm range, the A2 employs a Common Rail Direct injection system and an EGR cooler which re-circulates exhaust gases back to the engine to reduce nitrous oxide pollutants.


2.5L Diesel (Natural Aspiration)

Fuel type: DieselDisplacement: 2,607 ccMax. Power: 79ps / 4,000rpmMax. Torque: 17.0kg·m / 2,200rpm

Chassis

Tough 100 x 50 mm steel section chassis with double wishbone and torsion bar, front suspension and rear leaf springs, driven by a choice of 2.6 naturally aspirated or 2.5 turbo diesel engines, makes the H100 a supreme performer. Side impact bars, single moulding body panels and a variable cross-section cowl cross member are significant safety features.

Variability & flexibility

Short and long wheelbases with high and low platforms, allow the H100 to be perfectly configured to suit your business needs. Your Hyundai commercial vehicle dealer will be happy to advise and consult on all the possibilities

SAFETY

Locking Differential (LD)

When driving over soft, muddy or uneven road surfaces, you can suddenly lose traction and control of the vehicle. The Locking Differential ensures that you get maximum traction. It is automatically activated at speeds over 30kph and is more efficient than a Limited Slip Differential (LSD).

Brakes to depend on

At 15-inches, disc brakes are amply sized and they are ventilated for fade-free braking. A tandem 8+9 inch booster ensure that the stopping power of the H-100 matches the dynamic performance. A front-mounted antiroll bar provides additional reinforcement for confident, precise steering and handling.


Power window switch & auto door lock

Intuitively simple to operate, these are the switches for power windows and central locking. Fine design highlights even the smallest details.


CONVENIENCE

Stylish and practical

When we say that the H100 was designed to set new standards for light trucks we mean it. The list of features surpasses even some well-equipped private cars, and some have never, ever been available in this class before.


Sedan-inspired cluster

Instruments that are comprehensive, easy to read and fully in vision. High-quality information effortlessly and elegantly delivered is a hallmark of the H100.


Power & tilt steering

Precise power steering reduces driving effort, improving safety. The optional tilting steering wheel further personalises this benefit to the individual driver.


All-round ventilation

Centrally mounted with easy and efficient dial controls, keeps the driver and passenger fresh and alert. Air conditioning is also optionally available.

A lockable fuel filler cap

Protection for the fuel supply is provided by the security of a locking fuel filler flap.

Sidestep

Easy access speeds operations and cuts fatigue. In addition to optimally placed grab handles, the H100 offers this convenient sidestep.

Tailgate bolt

Secure loads are safe loads. The tailgate bolt serves to keep your cargo on the truck rather than the road.

Sidewall latch

Added side security for cargo retention comes in the form of these robust sidewall latches (Front).

Foldable stopper

Foldable long load retention pegs help keep ladders, pipes, wood and all other longer loads firmly in place.

Maintenance-free battery

A positive asset in all-operating conditions, adding worry-free durability to electrical dependability.

Up-front easy access inspection panel

The front panel (bonnet) is designed to open easily as a passenger car which provides exceptional maintenance or emergency access.
