2017 Hyundai Accent SE is a compact, nofrills hatchback or sedan designed for valueminded buyers who prioritize economy, reliability and basic functionality. Under the hood sits a 1.6litre fourcylinder gasoline engine producing about 137 horsepower, paired with either a 6speed manual or optional 6speed automatic transmission.
Front wheel drive is standard, giving the Accent SE a simple, efficient driveline.
Fuel economy is a strong point: with the manual transmission it is rated approximately 27mpg city and 37mpg highway, and slightly lower with the automatic (about 26/36mpg).
The interior seats up to five, with standard cloth upholstery, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, a sixspeaker AM/FM/CD audio system with USB/aux inputs.
Cargo space is modest in the sedan (around 13.7cuft) and more generous in the hatchback (about 21.2cuft) with the adaptability of folddown rear seats.
One of the standout features of the Accent SE is the generous powertrain warranty offered by Hyundai: a 10year/100,000mile powertrain coverage gives added peace of mind.

On the downside, crashtest ratings are less than classleading: for example, certain smalloverlap front crash results were rated poor, so safety performance should be weighed if this is a priority.
In summary, the 2017 Hyundai Accent SE makes a strong case as an economical, dependable daily driver for individuals or small households, especially if youre looking for low ownership cost and simplicity. Its not ultrastylish or packed with the latest tech, but for what it is an affordable entrylevel car it delivers very well.

Great Car
by JesusisLord77 on 2/22/2026 4:50:03 AM
This car lasted me 10 years until the rods went through the engine at 134,000 miles. Still not sure what caused it but other than that it never had any issues except regular upkeep. It is surprisingly good in snow if you know how to drive carefully. - 5.0
2015 Accent

I had a 2015 Accent for 5 months and, due to eye issues, I donated it to my grandson. It had 85K miles when I purchased it and hehas driven it from Texas to New Orleans 2x with no problems. The gas mileage is great and he loves the car. - 5.0
Best car for the money.

My partner bought her Accent new in 2016. She was looking for a good, cheap car; and that's exactly what she got. Not a lot of high-tech frills, but that's not what she wanted. I added an aftermarket cruise control and a remote starter (with the locks), and that's it. The little car doesn't feel little on the road, and in fact, seems to love 80 mph's for long stretches. The average mpg's is about 34, which is fine for us. If you are looking for a great small, trouble-free car, you couldn't do better than either a used Accent, or new Elantra
