2000 Hyundai Accent

The new 2000 Accent was longer, its wheelbase is lengthened by 1.6-inches and wider with its overall width expanded by nearly 2-inches than the previous version to provide even more room and comfort for the driver and passengers. In addition, the new exterior styling featured a more sophisticated European look.

 

With the introduction of the second generation Accent for the 2000 model year, Hyundai continued to emphasize value by making standard many items that were optional or even not available on the competition.

 

Standard equipment on the 2000 GS and GL model year Accents included AM/FM/Cassette Stereo, power front disc brakes, rear window defroster, remote fuel door release, dual outside mirrors digital quartz clock, rear window wiper/washer (GS 3-door) and a remote trunk release (GL sedan). All 2000 Accents were powered by a revised version of the 1.5-liter SOHC engine that featured a 12-valve, aluminum cylinder head and cast iron engine block that included vertical ribs for added strength. An eight-counterweight crankshaft made the revised engine even smoother in operation. As a result of these refinements, engine noise in the cabin was reduced by 3 decibels. In 2000, air conditioning and power windows and door locks were still Accent options.
