The 2019 Hyundai Accent is just a car, and its appeal lies entirely in its devotion to the basics.It has a decent set of standard features, acceptable performance, and enough interior space, but the 2019 Accent shows up every day for work, backed by a superlative warranty.The Accent weighs about 2,500 pounds, and with just 130 horsepower issuing from a 1.6-liter inline-4, it needs to stay trim. Foot to the floor, it manages acceptable highway passes but gets thrashy. Its 6-speed automatic deliberates before it shifts cleanly, but a Sport function clears its head. The Accent rides with decent absorbency, but like any short-wheelbase car with a strut and torsion-beam suspension, it takes a second to recover from craters and speed bumps.Four adults fit easily inside the Accent, and head room in particular suits taller passengers. The seats don’t have much in the way of bolsters and the fabric would rather slide than grip. The rear doors don’t allow for graceful entry and exit but the back seat itself can hold two adults, or fold down to open more space from the Accent’s large trunk.
