2000 Hyundai Accent Review
from the Cars.com expert editorial team
Vehicle Overview
Hyundai’s smallest, least expensive model is redesigned for 2000, sporting new styling, larger exterior dimensions and a roomier interior.

It covers the whole car for five years/60,000 miles, major powertrain components for 10 years/100,000 miles and corrosion for five years/100,000 miles. Hyundai provides free roadside assistance for the first five years.

Cargo volume is 10.7 cubic feet on the sedan and 16 cubic feet on the hatchback. Both body styles have a folding rear seatback. Standard equipment includes power steering, a cassette player and rear window defroster.
Exterior
Wheelbase on the new Accent is 1.6 inches longer at 96 inches. Width has grown two inches and overall length about 5 inches. The new styling has fewer curves and more straight edges than the old look and larger headlamps that Hyundai says cast a wider, longer beam.
Under the Hood
Accent is new in most areas but not here. The 92-horsepower, 1.5-liter four-cylinder used in the previous model returns with a choice of five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions. However, Hyundai sa...

However, Hyundai says new hydraulic engine mounts and other changes result in smoother, quieter engine operation.
