Juma Al Majid Est., the exclusive distributor of Hyundai Motors in the UAE, has announced that the all-new Hyundai Accent is now available in the UAE, following the vehicle’s official MENA launch in Bahrain earlier this month. First revealed in Korea last year, the fifth generation of Hyundai’s popular small sedan features a bold new design, enhanced driving dynamics and advanced safety and convenience features.

Ghassan Naser, Director of Hyundai UAE, commented: “The all-new Accent” continues the legacy of this popular model while also reflecting Hyundai’s increasing focus on democratising technology and leading innovation in the automotive industry. It is a stronger, safer, and more technically advanced car that is showing the way forward when it comes to adopting new technologies, particularly in terms of its safety features. At the same time, it remains a pleasure to drive and delivers the high-quality value for money that Hyundai is renowned for.”

The new-generation Hyundai Accent is slightly longer and wider than the previous model, with increased interior space. Two four-cylinder petrol engine options are being offered in the region, including a 1.4 litre delivering 100ps (metric horsepower), and a 1.6 litre delivering 123ps. Both are advanced designs, with multi-point fuel injection matched to a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

The Accent’s well-appointed interior offers a quiet, comfortable space, with controls located for easy, intuitive operation. All materials have been selected for durability while remaining pleasing to look at and touch.

Driver and passengers are protected by six airbags. Alongside automatic stability control (ESC), other safety features include static bending headlights to provide better illumination of the road through corners, auto cruise control that is designed for convenience and improved fuel economy, and an emergency stop signal that automatically flashes the brake lights when the driver brakes heavily.
