[170kphlang]

The 0-100kph acceleration tests shows this results:
Fiesta 1.6L A/T (dual clutch) = 12.8 sec
Mazda2 1.5L A/T = 12.6 sec
Mazda2 1.5L M/T = 12.0 sec

and if the time in the c! magazine's article is true and accurate, that the accent can do 0-100kph in 8.8 secs. then it sure is fast.

From the C! article:

TOP SPEED: 196 km/h (123 mph)

0-100 KM/H: (0-62 MPH) 8.8 seconds.

FUEL MILEAGE: 8.2L/100 Kms. As tested overall.





The magazine? Should be available in retail by now. A place that gets magazines from Emerald Headway should carry the title.

Mine? I got it from subscription.

Thanks for this. Ive been looking for this Mag in magazine stands (I guess Natl BS dont carry them), will go check out some other outlets.

8.2L/100 km? Thanks to Google's calculator (LOVE that handy dandy quick feature), that's (8.2 L) / (100 Km) = 12.195122 kilometers per liter

Not bad. But is it City, Highway or mixed? If its mixed, its ok, but might be just 10 kpl in City, w/c is the same AFAIK from the other subs in its class (Fiesta, Vios). Correct me if im wrong please because im no expert.

Waiting patiently till its up for display at the end of January.. so i can finally decide what to buy...

.... but then I would have second thoughts if Crdi/diesel model will also arrive this year.... ARRGHHHH!!!!

By the way, can someone please explain to me what model is this? 2011? Why do they have "2012 Accent models" being shown now in car shows in the US? Are these two similar (i know its not exacty the same) or is the one in the US (2012) one year ahead of the one being released here? (2011). Or did they just differ in naming convention?

Naming cars 1 or even 2 years ahead of the current year gets me confused .. (ie., this 2011 model was announced last year pa. Does this mean the 2012 model in the US shown will be released late this year or next year pa) then we have different names/make/release date with other countries... hard to keep track which is which... hehe

WHOA!! So thats the meaning of "with a confidence of a car twice as expensive" it got me excited a bit for the gas variant...

probably its a mixed FC....because unless they post the consumption of both city and highway...they might just stick to the mixed FC figures...

mixed consumption ang pagkaintindi ko nito.

17 or 19 kM/L ata ang sabi (not sure, search nyo na lang) sa isang post ang consumption ng 1.6L variant from Batangas to Laguna (Btgs pier to Laguna plant siguro ang ibig sabihin).

Accent on the spectacular


WHATEVER happened to cute and cuddly? All over the world, mini-compact, micro-compact and sub-compact cars are marketed in a fuzzy logic way. Warms the heart, they say. Why? Because this category of small urban cars are the most coldly practical way to get around a city, with the least expense and the most freedom. Never was it a play for the dramatic.




THE NEW Hyundai Accent promises looks, practicality and fun.


Not Hyundai. Or its Accent in particular. Never mind if its Kia Rio platform sister is marketed here and in Europe in the conventional manner. But one can excuse HARI, Hyundai’s importer, the bombast of the Accent’s launch. Hyundai is the first non-Japanese brand to lord it over number four and five in local top-in-sales. Last time there was a non-Japan brand in the top five, the cars available were the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Beetle. If only Korea’s allocation of CRDi engines were not so quickly gobbled up by Hyundai’s factories in the diesel-mad European market, their sales lead over number four could be far more.

Symptomatic of Hyundai’s drive to the top, it wants to project the new Accent as something more spectacular than the 39 km/liter CRDi diesel endeared to the white taxi cab segment. Mirroring classic Toyota introduction strategy [and pricing], it’s got dirt cheap bottom spec cloth seats/108 ps 1.4-liter five-speed manual and a top spec all-in 124 ps four-speed auto top of the line 1.6-liter with leather seats.

Being a Hyundai, basic isn’t bare at all �“ ABS-EBD brakes, air bags, CD-MP3-Aux input USB audio, electric power steering, keyless entry and Hyundai’s Gamma CVVT multivalve technology engines are standard. Style wise -- the Accent is undeniably distinguished from its Kia Rio stablemate -- more rear passenger space due to a longer wheelbase, eagle eye shaped headlights, boomerang fog lights, fluidic style theme coupe roof, “X”-theme interior -- the stuff of the mold-breaking Genesis, Tucson and Sonata. Hyundai blue instrument and ambient lighting is standard as stablemate Kia chose to go red.

The top spec has high-quality chrome lashings, high gloss trim and soft touch leather on the steering wheel. It’s also got an accurate trip computer, remote radio controls, ionizer climate control and even heated side view mirrors for those humid Baguio mornings.

There are technological USPs too like the “Blue Drive” Alternator management system, an energy saving concept that was first seen in BMW’s dynamic efficiency. Aerodynamic trimmers, the kind used for “ground effects” racing cars and smooth air flow under the body and around all its mid level corners. The deep trunk will comfort the Accent’s fans in the taxi ranks.

Engines are cleansed to Euro V standards. With the high power outputs developed high up the rpm range, we assumed peaky power delivery, suffocated at mid-range with pick-up-and-go dumbed down by fuel economy-biased transmission gear ratios. ASEAN drivers prefer a trigger-happy throttle response that allows a quick lunge into traffic gaps. This is achieved by tuning the fuel injection to give an abrupt stab of power but at the expense of mid-range torque, a handicap in will-she-or-won’t-she overtaking. Hyundai, on the other hand, follows Euro V emissions rules to the letter, so power delivery is linear and consistent throughout the rpm range, at the expense of feeling sluggish on take off.

But not anymore. Short of the quick responses of a direct injection engine, the Accent is sprightly enough to jump into short-lived traffic gaps. Credit may be due to the Blue-fuel-efficiency package and the Gamma engine’s continuously variable valve timing. This alertness is in perfect harmony with the Accent’s electric power steering and the overall “light on its feet” feel. The Accent weighs slightly over a ton and the NVH is of a high standard that tinniness and grumbling over rough surfaces is inaudible.

The “old” Accent CRDi had its charms; the turbo engine could deliver sub-10 second 0-100 km/h acceleration, top speed quietly at 200 and fuel thrift of 39 km/liter. It was loved for its big trunk and its upright headroom. But one had to live with it as a manual only and the snatchy clutch take up and sticky gear slots that manifested past the 20,000 km mark didn’t endear it to long-term owners. It was also afflicted with rubbery power steering feel, a bouncy rear suspension and Chinese car-like brake dive.

The latest 1.6 petrol Accent can easily do 15.2 km/liter to 21.2 km/liter on the highway and 0-100 in 13 seconds. Thanks to the smooth four-speed auto, drivers will no longer have to deal with a sticky clutch and diminished bounciness in the rear. Although Hyundai makes an excellent 1.6 CRDi turbo diesel, EU demand for diesels mean that other markets, including ours, are in for a long wait. Nevertheless, the 1.6 GLS Accent is a lively car, genuine in keeping with its looks. It’s got the practicality of the segment leading Vios and the fun factor of the Fiesta. Now, that is spectacular.
