Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What are the main differences between the available engine options?

The 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent offers two engine options: a 1.6L inline-4 engine with 110 hp and 106 lb-ft of torque, and a 1.6L inline-4 engine with CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) producing 110 hp and 106 lb-ft of torque. The CVVT engine provides improved fuel efficiency and smoother performance.

Q2

What transmission options are available?

The Hyundai Accent comes with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The manual transmission offers greater control and better fuel economy, while the automatic transmission provides ease of use and convenience.

Q3

What are the key safety features?

Standard safety features include dual front airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and front seatbelt pretensioners. Optional features include side-impact airbags and electronic stability control (ESC) on higher trims.

Q4

How does the fuel economy compare to competitors?

The 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent achieves an EPA-estimated 27 mpg city and 37 mpg highway with the manual transmission, which is competitive with other compact cars of the era, such as the Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit.

Q5

What are the recommended maintenance intervals?

Hyundai recommends an oil change every 7,500 miles or 6 months, a tire rotation every 7,500 miles, and a full inspection every 15,000 miles. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Q6

What are the most notable features and options?

Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, and a CD player. Optional features include a sunroof, alloy wheels, and a premium sound system. Higher trims offer additional amenities like leather upholstery and heated seats.

Q7

How does the cargo and passenger space compare to competitors?

The Hyundai Accent offers 12.4 cubic feet of trunk space, which is comparable to the Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit. Rear passenger space is sufficient for adults, though taller passengers may find headroom slightly limited.

Q8

What are the towing and payload capacities?

The Hyundai Accent is not designed for towing. Its payload capacity is approximately 850 lbs, which includes passengers and cargo. Exceeding this limit can affect vehicle performance and safety.
