The third generation Accent is rather relatively slow and power is minimal. The speed and response is just enough though and gives an acceptable performance. The small engine is not that powerful although it sometimes provides a spirited pull. At high RPMs, the engine makes a lot of noise expected of affordable cars. The 2009 Accent provides good handling and braking despite having a too soft suspension system. Braking is provided by front disc and rear drum anti-lock brakes. For a compact car, it surprises buyers with its roomy interiors. The 3-door looks sportier especially with aftermarket modifications.
The safety features are advanced for an economy car. It has driver and front passenger air bags, driver, and passenger side impact airbags, and front and rear roof-mounted head curtain airbags. Side impact beams, front and rear crumple zones, and hood-buckling are added safety highlights. The cargo is expected of compact cars, with the 4-door having a 12.4 cubic feet space while the 3-door hatchback offers a 15.9 cubic feet.
