The Accent lineup consists of a three-door hatchback (Hyundai prefers to call it a three-door sedan) available in L ($8,999) and GS ($9,399) trim levels; plus a GL ($9,899) four-door sedan with essentially the same content as the GS hatch.Despite all the improvements Hyundai made last year to its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, this engine now powers only the base-level L, and is available only with a five-speed manual transmission. GS and GL are now powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. GS and GL come standard with a five-speed manual transmission, but can be ordered with a four-speed electronically controlled automatic for an additional $600. Air conditioning is a $750 option for all models, although on GS and GL it can be ordered as part of a $1,150 package that also includes a CD player and power mirrors, locks, and front windows.
