The Accent has always been an exciting car to drive. I have
done a number of trips with this car. The most exciting
was when we drove for puja vacations to Vizag. The car
was smooth to drive with seamless power and extremely
good road handling. The fuel consumption is slightly
high but this can be compromised with the comfort and
convenience that one experiences.
Hyundai Accent is my second car. I do not have to worry
on any issue with regard to the car. Hyundai has always
been there for us offering excellent, unmatched sales and
service and very good value for money.
I am really grateful to the team at Utkal Hyundai, which

process. The whole team at Ujjwal Hyundai was really
helpful. After a lot of deliberation we finally settled for i10
