The domestic assembly of the Hyundai Accent has made it much more accessible to residents of Russia. An increasing number of people are beginning to look closely at this car and, after getting acquainted with the characteristics and features, they often opt for it.
In 2001, when the production of Hyundai Accent began at the TagAZ automobile plant, Russian motorists began to pay attention to the prospect of acquiring such a car. The price has become much more affordable compared to the imported assembly. Almost all models that can now be found on the road belong to the domestic assembly.
The main advantage is that the Hyundai Accent package is designed for the Russian market. This means that air conditioning, power steering and a radio tape recorder are already built into the basic configuration of the car. The body has a galvanized and anti-corrosion coating. Especially for winter time, it has a built-in heating system of increased power. In a word, everything a motorist needs to drive in Russia is already built into the Hyundai Accent.
Engine description
The 2004 Hyundai Accent is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine. The motor resource, according to the assurances of engineers and specialists, is designed for the maximum service life of the machine. This is very convincing, given the already ten years of experience and statistics of engine breakdowns. There are two types of gearboxes in the configuration - mechanical and automatic five- and four-speed, respectively.
The good thing about the engine is that it revs very smoothly and is quieter than its competitors in the same category. Fuel consumption is also at a high level - four and a half liters at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour. The engine is perfect for Russian roads.
Technical features
Acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour is achieved in eleven and a half seconds. The maximum speed of the car is one hundred seventy three kilometers per hour. Weight - a little over nine hundred kilograms, but the volume of the trunk is four hundred liters. This is a lot for a passenger car. In fact, Hyundai Accent is an excellent car for the Russian consumer. It is unpretentious, strong and very roomy.
The motor is powerful, the safety level is very impressive. Apparently, these are the very reasons why this car is so often found on the roads of Russia. It is likely that you will stumble across the side from the USA or Australia, over the past couple of years there have been quite a few of them in Russia.
In general, there is not much difference, but the foreign-assembled engine is much stronger than the domestic one. For an ordinary motorist, such nuances, most likely, do not play a big role, the main thing is comfort on the road, and not the amount of horsepower.
