2001 Hyundai Accent

The 2001 Hyundai Accent offers a new, standard 106 horsepower 1.6 liter twin cam 16 valve four cylinder engine, 60-series 14 inch tires and alloy wheels, front fog lamps, and a fully independent suspension. Sporty interior touches include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, light-colored gauges, and special cloth seats. The new 1.6 liter engine is quieter than the 1.5 liter unit due to a strengthened block, crankshaft counterweights, and hydraulic engine mounts.

 

The 2001 Accent also has a larger brake booster and new brake pads that reduce brake shudder. With a fairly narrow track and a short wheelbase, the 2001 Accent is quite nimble and easy to maneuver in tight situations. The standard power-assisted steering is quick and responsive, and the ride, while sporty, is not too stiff or uncomfortably choppy.
