Hyundai Accent 2008 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The Accent is Hyundai's long-running sub-compact nameplate, though it could be more successful than it is. The new model is a decent upgrade over the old Accent, though still using lightly-modifed carryover engines. Now available in 5-door sedan and 3-door hatchback form in this region, the most basic Accent thankfully comes with power steering, air-conditioning, AM/FM radio and cassette player with 4 speakers and a 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine with a manual or automatic gearbox at a dirt-cheap price. Step up to the higher models, and buyers are treated to a 1.6-litre four-cylinder with a manual or an automatic, power windows, central door locks, electric mirrors, fog lamps, better cloth seats, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat with centre armrest and cup holders, and not much else. An agreeably spacious interior and steel 14-inch wheels with plastic covers are standard on all trim levels, but there is no mention of airbags or ABS brakes in the spec sheet on cars bound for the Middle East market.
