If you're in the market for a stylish and economical car for your daily commute, you should take a close look at the 2021 Hyundai Accent. It's a small sedan with a big personality, and it offers a surprisingly spacious cabin and a fun-to-drive performance. Here are some features that make the Accent your ideal daily ride. Stylish and Eye-Catching Good Looks The 2021 Hyundai Accent is available in SE, SEL, and Limited trim levels, each featuring a bold front fascia, sleek elegant profile, and stylish rear end that make it stand out from the crowd. With the SE, you get a chrome grille, 15-inch steel wheels with full covers, and body-color door handles and power mirrors. Go with the SEL for chrome trim, automatic headlights, fog lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, and heated mirrors. Stepping up to the Limited trim gets you LED headlights and daytime running lights, 17-inch wheels, a power sunroof, mirrors with integrated turn signals, a hands-free trunk release, and LED taillights. Punchy and Economical Performance With its compact size, agile handling, and lively performance, the Accent is fun to drive. It's ideal for negotiating city streets and getting into the tightest parking spots. Under the hood is a responsive 120-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 113 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. You can have the SE trim with a six-speed manual transmission or the intelligent variable transmission (IVT) that comes standard with the other models. The Accent is frugal on fuel, and with the IVT, you'll get up to 33 mpg, while heading out on the highway will reward you with up to 41 mpg. Modern and Spacious Interior Inside, the Accent is deceptively roomy and seats five people in comfort. The trunk offers 13.7 cubic feet of luggage space, or for a bigger cargo area, you can lower the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks. The SE's standard features include remote keyless entry, cloth upholstery, a six-way adjustable driver's seat with height adjustment, cruise control, and air conditioning. The infotainment system offers a 5-inch touch screen, a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, USB smartphone connection, and a four-speaker MP3-capable audio system. The SEL adds a 7-inch touch screen, Bluetooth with voice recognition, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, dual USB charging ports, and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio. Go with the Limited trim for a proximity key with push-button start, heated front seats, and automatic temperature control. High-Tech and Reliable Driver-Assist Features Standard driver-assistance features include vehicle stability management, electronic stability control, traction control, hill start assist (IVT only), and a four-wheel anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. A rearview camera with dynamic guidelines makes for easy reverse parking. With the SEL, you get a driver's blind-spot mirror, while the Limited trim offers forward collision-avoidance assist with automatic emergency braking.

One of the most important aspects to consider when buying a new car is how safe it's going to be. With their new SmartSense suite of safety technology, Hyundai cars are some of the safest around, but there's peace of mind in knowing exactly what features your car has to keep you safe on the road. Here at your local Crain Hyundai dealer, we've put together a list of five innovative car safety features that come standard with your new Hyundai car. 1. Lane Keeping Assist Lane Keeping Assist is a safety feature designed to help keep your car in the center of your lane while driving. Lane Keeping Assist will detect if your vehicle begins to drift, and if your car ends up leaving your lane it will alert you with both a visual and an auditory cue. This feature can also help to correct your position in the lane by applying a subtle steering correction to bring you back into your lane if it detects that you have left it. 2. Smart Cruise Control In addition to Hyundai's standard cruise control system, some new Hyundais come equipped with the new Smart Cruise Control. This system works similarly to regular cruise control but has the additional feature of automatically adjusting your speed to keep you a safe distance away from the vehicle in front of you. When using Hyundai's Smart Cruise Control you can even set this distance for yourself, which keeps you in control of what a "safe distance" means to you! 3. Downhill Brake Control Downhill Brake Control is an exciting new safety feature for Hyundai drivers living in hilly or mountainous areas. When turned on, this feature will automatically slow your vehicle down to about 6 mph when traveling a steep hill, without the driver having to use the brake pedal. This allows you to concentrate fully on steering your car down steep inclines, allowing for easy and controlled descents down hills and twisty mountain roads. 4. Forward Collision Warning Another of Hyundai's most innovative safety features is the Forward Collision Warning system. This advanced safety feature is designed to prevent forward collisions by scanning the road in front of your vehicle and alerting you (and, if needed, automatically applying the brakes) if it detects a risk of a forward collision occurring. And, with this system's new design, it works both in town and at freeway speeds, to keep you safe no matter the situation! 5. Blind-Spot Collision Warning Hyundai's Blind-Spot Collision Warning system helps you keep your eyes on the road by automatically scanning and detecting the presence of vehicles in your blind spots and alerting you, with both visual and auditory warnings on the corresponding side of your car. These sensors work at high speeds, detecting cars approaching in adjacent lanes on the freeway, and while parking or backing up, alerting drivers to the presence of vehicles or pedestrians around your car. We understand the importance of safety and would be happy to talk you through any questions you have about Hyundai's new suite of safety features.
