Hyundai Accent 2001

Hyundai’s smallest, least-expensive model was redesigned for Hyundai Accent 2000, and this year the GS and GL models get a larger engine — a 1.6-liter four-cylinder instead of a 1.5-liter. The front-drive Hyundai Accent returns in two-door hatchback and four-door sedan styling.

Standard equipment includes power steering, a cassette player and rear window defroster
For 2001, Hyundai Accent GL and GS get a more powerful and fuel-efficient 1.6-liter, DOHC inline four-cylinder engine.

Additionally, all Hyundai’s come with an impressive 10-year/100,000-mile drive train warranty, helping instill peace in the consumer's mind. The entry-level Hyundai Accent is no exception to Hyundai's new rule. Three versions are available. A larger, 105-horsepower 1.6-liter is optional on L and standard on GS and GL. This new DOHC design offers more power and increased fuel economy over the standard engine. Under the Accent's attractively creased bodywork sits a McPherson strut independent front and a dual-link rear suspension. Safety features include empowered airbags and seatbelt pre-pensioners. Unfortunately, ABS for the front disc/rear drum braking system is not even available as an option.

The driver's seat features adjustments for height and rake, as well as fore and aft settings. Standard equipment includes a cassette player, rear defroster, trip odometer, and power steering. Upgraded trims also open the door to the few factory options that are available, such as power front windows, power exterior mirrors, air conditioning, and a CD player. Port-installed options on any Hyundai Accent include carpeted floor mats, a rear spoiler, a center armrest, mudguards and a cargo net for the trunk.
Horsepower is up 14 percent, and torque 9 percent, with the same refinements introduced to the smaller engine last year
