Hyundai Accent is available in three-door hatchback and four-door sedan body styles. Accents come in three trim levels. For 2003, all Accents are powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder rated 104 horsepower.
The base Accent ($9,499) is indeed basic, offering air conditioning as an option ($750). Accent comes standard with an AM/FM/cassette stereo, tachometer, center console, vanity mirror, tilt steering, intermittent wipers and a 60/40 split folding rear seat. It only comes as a hatchback equipped with a five-speed manual transmission.
Accent GL adds air conditioning, tinted glass, and a digital quartz clock, and upgrades to the stereo, seats, console, and carpet. GL buyers may choose either the three-door GL hatchback coupe ($10,649) or four-door sedan ($11,049). Both come standard with a five-speed manual gearbox. A four-speed automatic transmission ($650) is optional.
The GT Package ($495) firms up the suspension and upgrades the 13-inch wheels to 14-inch aluminum wheels. Fog lamps, body-color sill moldings, a rear spoiler, white-faced gauges, and leather wrappers for the steering wheel and shift knob accent the GT's sporty demeanor.
A Popular Equipment Package ($400) adds a CD player plus power mirrors, locks, and front windows to GL or GT.
