The Accent, which comes in two body styles, a hatchback and a sedan, gets a few design changes as well as more equipment. One-touch triple turn signal, sliding sun visors and a blind spot mirror are now available as standard. An updated standard audio system for improved voice recognition and button layout is also featured on all models. The 5-door SE and 4-door Premium Package models get projector headlights with LED accents, headlamp welcome / escort function, driver’s auto-up power window and tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel.
