Nice to hear it's got autonomous braking, just to protect me from all the incomps on the road. While the interior is going in the right direction compared to Hyundai's first entry level car in this country dba the infamous Excel

I looked at it and instantly forgot about it - that's how bland it is. It doesn't even have "very ugly" going for it.

The interior :thumbup:

I think this is ****ing ugly. The seats and interior look great, though, and I bet the car overall is a big improvement over the current one.

For as many hits as Hyundai has been having lately, I guess they were bound to strike out sooner or later.

Yeech, this thing is...bad. Like, Mitsubishi Mirage G4 bad... :what:

But it's an ACCENT. And for a base, entry level point A to B, I think it looks well executed. Especially the interior. My only gripe, exterior styling sort of looks like a Nissan and that's not a cool thing.

Didn't you have to design a B class car and present a clay model in freshman trans? Designing a good looking B class car around a real world package is probably one of the more difficult things to do.

I never did, and I know that it's a hard class of car to design, and I don't think that this one looks good. The current Accent looks better to my eyes, and so do a few of its competitors.

B-segment sedans are indeed a difficult class to proportion...

The Mazda2 minus the Toyota Yaris / Scion iA front is probably best-in-class:

If I remember right they're basically limited to 4.5metres or less due to size class in some markets (India?).

From a proportion standpoint, the Mazda/Scion and Chevrolet Sonic did pretty well in roofline execution/stance IMHO; the Fiesta is pretty cab forward which is nice, but the light catcher fade out towards the rear fender isn't doing it any favors. When considering cost, economic factors, and FE/crash regs, it's a miracle these cars look as good a as they do.:beer:

Ugh--you dodged a bullet in that case.:laugh:


I need to see it in person. But in photos it looks--very lazy. Sometimes you have to go a different way from a design standpoint with smaller cars. This looks like an overlay from Hyundai and it's current direction scaled down to a B class car.

I need to see the hatchback before making full judgement. Look at the current-gen Accent, the hatchback is the better looking car by a mile.

I looked at a couple Accent hatches in SE trim and they seem like pretty solid little cars that hold a great deal of real-world value. Especially if you have a couple of kids and a big dog, etc. Granted, I'm a guy that enjoys cheap cars but it seems like something that would be pretty easy to live with, and 2-3 year old low mileage examples are easy to find under 9K.
