The second generation Hyundai Accent (LC index) debuted in 1999. The car was offered in hatchback and sedan body styles. In 2001, assembly began in Taganrog. After 2 years (in 2003), the model survived restyling, but the Russian market did not see it. From the gates of "TagAZ" sedans in pre-styling guise continued to leave.
In 2005, the front part was slightly changed - the predatory radiator grille received softer rounded shapes. In 2006, there was a generational change, but Tagaz continued to produce the sedan until 2012.
There is enough space in the Hyundai Accent cabin, however, the rear passengers will feel cramped. Trunk volume - only 375 liters (321 liters - hatchback). On the other hand, you should not expect miracles from a small car.
The sedan in the basic version of the MT0 could only boast of a power steering. Central locking, power windows and mirrors, air conditioning and ABS were available in richer packages. The airbag fell only to the driver, and even then, in the most expensive versions - MT3 and AT5 (with automatic transmission).
In the NHTSA (National Transportation Safety Association of America) crash test, the Accent earned 4 stars in frontal and side impact. But that car was equipped with 4 airbags.
Engines
Initially, the Hyundai Accent was equipped with atmospheric gasoline engines of 1.3 liters and 1.5 liters. The first was established only for a limited period of time. The last one has become massive. In 2002, a 1.5-liter turbodiesel and a 1.6-liter gasoline aspirated were added to the line of power units. None of these engines was officially offered in Russia.
All gasoline engines are representatives of the Alpha family (1.6 l - Alfa II). They are a licensed copy of the Mitsubishi Orion series engines.
The 1.3-liter engine (60 and 75 hp / G4EH) has one camshaft and 12 valves. The 1.5-liter was offered in two versions: 12-valve (91 hp / G4EB) and 16-valve (102 hp / G4EC). The first (with one camshaft) was not widely used. In the market, absolute leadership for a 16-valve unit with two camshafts. The 1.6-liter engine (105 hp / G4ED) can be found in cars imported from the USA.
All engines have a timing belt drive. In units with a two-shaft DOHC valve timing (1.5 / 102 hp and 1.6 / 105 hp), the timing belt drives only the exhaust camshaft, and the intake is connected to the exhaust by a single-row chain.
Many mechanics advise changing the camshaft drive chain (from 1,000 rubles) on a run of 100-120 thousand km. By this time, it is often stretched.
Maintenance of the timing drive is not very difficult. However, when replacing the timing belt, the pump should also be updated (from 2,000 rubles). It can leak or make noise after 80-110 thousand km. And the timing drive prevents it from being removed: one pump mounting bolt covers the belt, and the other - the tension roller.
The valve clearance is adjusted using hydraulic pushers (250 rubles apiece). They can knock after 200-250 thousand km. Sometimes the reason lies in the weakening of the plunger spring of the oil pump. As a result, for the normal operation of the compensators, there is simply not enough oil pressure. The cost of the spring is only 250 rubles, and to replace it, it is necessary to remove the engine crankcase.
After 100-150 thousand km, the valve cover gasket may leak - about 600 rubles. After 150-200 thousand km, oil consumption often begins to increase. Often, hardened valve stem seals are to blame. The cost of a new set is 1,300 rubles, and replacement work - from 5,000 rubles.
A regular starter can be depressed after 100-150 thousand km - more often in cold weather. In most cases, it can be "revived", otherwise you will have to pay more than 5,000 rubles for a new starter. Soon it is necessary to update the engine mounts (2-3 thousand rubles apiece).
Quite often the corrugation of the exhaust system burns out. An analogue can be picked up for 500 rubles. But the corrugation in the original pipe (from 2,000 rubles) usually lasts much longer. Interruptions in the operation of the engine are sometimes caused by a failure of the booster fuel pump (from 2,500 rubles) or an oxygen sensor (from 2,000 rubles).
Over the years, the pipes of the cooling system and the radiator are aging and leaking. If you do not notice a leak in time, then overheating is possible. The consequences are very sad - the opening and overhaul of the engine.
The 3-cylinder 82-horsepower 1.5-liter turbodiesel (D3EA) with a common rail injection system was developed by Italian engineers VM Motori. Diesel Accent in the secondary market is a real exotic. 1.5 CRDi is less reliable than petrol units. With age, there are complaints about increased oil consumption, turbocharger and fuel injectors. In addition, the interior of a diesel car is less comfortable - the noise level is higher and vibrations are felt.
Transmission
In a pair of motors, either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic (A4AF3) was assigned.
The mechanical box is very reliable. There are practically no problems with it. The grip is also distinguished by enviable durability - more than 250,000 km. The new kit is available for 4,000 rubles. But the release bearing can make noise after 100-150 thousand km. Episodic difficulties with the inclusion of gears arise due to the souring of the gear selection mechanism.
An automatic transmission is not as durable as a manual transmission, but with proper care it will easily drive 200-250 thousand km before the first repair. The main thing is not to forget to update the oil every 40-60 thousand km. For a bulkhead, you will need about 50,000 rubles. Sometimes malfunctions in the operation of the machine are caused by a break in the wiring of the contact connector.
Chassis
The softly tuned suspension is able to absorb large bumps without sacrificing passenger comfort. But this also has its downsides. The body rolls a lot in corners, and handling deserves mediocre ratings, as does the braking system. On dry pavement, it takes 43.3 meters to come to a complete stop. Recall that the modern standard is no more than 40 meters.
The weakest point in the suspension is the stabilizer bushings. Sometimes they have to be changed after 20-40 thousand km. The front suspension arms (2-4 thousand rubles) will last 100-150 thousand km, and the rear - more than 150-200 thousand km.
On a segment of 100-150 thousand km, wheel bearings may become unusable. On the front axle, only bearings are changed (1,000 rubles), and on the rear axle, the hub assembly (from 2,000 rubles).
After 100-150 thousand km, the brake cylinders of the rear brake drums sometimes turn sour. Often enough to disassemble, clean and lubricate. A new cylinder is available for 600 rubles.
In cars older than 10-12 years, you need to pay attention to the front brake pipes. They rust under the rubber seal - at the point of transition through the wheel arch partition. The cost of a new brake line is about 1,000 rubles.
Problems with ABS can occur due to oxidation of the motor. He quickly comes to his senses after cleaning.
The steering rack may require attention after 150-200 thousand km. In the worst case, it will have to be replaced - from 18,000 rubles.
Body and interior
Body iron Hyundai Accent is not prone to corrosion. Rust is more likely a sign of poor repair in the past. However, on individual specimens older than 10 years, red spots can be found in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear wheel arches and sills. In addition, the paint often peels off the bumpers.
The interior decoration used cheap plastic, which eventually begins to creak. No matter the situation with soundproofing. It cannot be rated otherwise than below average. Sounds from the engine compartment and wheel arches penetrate the cabin.
After 120-140 thousand km, the generator may fail. Often it is given to get off with the replacement of the voltage regulator (1,000 rubles). If it is not possible to restore the generator, then you will have to look for a new one - from 5,000 rubles.
Over time, the windshield wiper drive mechanism sours. There is a knock and a creak, and the leashes move slowly and not at full speed. A new trapezoid will cost 2,000 rubles.
From time to time, the arrow of the speed indicator begins to twitch and buzz. The disease is easily eliminated. Sometimes there are malfunctions in the operation of the central lock.
Conclusion
Hyundai Accent is a simple and reliable car that can be serviced or repaired for little money at any service. The main thing is not to run into a hackneyed copy that worked in a taxi.
Hyundai Accent III, 2006
Great car. Hyundai Accent III-th generation like me and my wife and child. On the road, it behaves perfectly, reliable, and the price-quality ratio is generally superb. Her image is so-so, but they say that the image is nothing. Motor - 112 hp but if you believe the sensations, the manufacturer exaggerated a little, and if you turn on the air conditioner, then the “horses” sharply become smaller. And when the air conditioner is running, the consumption increases, it starts to “eat” like a sperm whale. Now the mileage is 7 thousand km. The seats of the Hyundai Accent III are not very good, they even put them on the “nine” better. And this is some kind of "stool". I travel a lot and often, so for me the issue of comfortable seats is very relevant. We are waiting for winter and frost, the Hyundai Accent III will start at -30, then it will be possible to forgive minor flaws such as these “stool” seats or the bumper clinging to the curbs. Everyone who is on the "Hyundai" a good road!
Advantages : Excellent value for money and quality.

Hyundai Accent III, 2007
General emotions seem to be positive. True, the operating experience is still small, only 5 months. The gearbox of the Hyundai Accent III-th generation is so-so, as if the gearbox was removed from our VAZ “Nine”. For example, the third speed can take off. Went to the dealer, looked, they said everything is normal. But, judging by my feelings, something is still wrong with her. The air conditioner works in such a way that you can’t make out. It's hot, it's cold. So it doesn't take long to get sick. Although in winter the interior warms up well and quickly. Not so long ago there was a case, I could not open the hood, I went to the service, it turned out that the cable broke. Noise isolation of the Hyundai Accent III is not very good. Head unit broke after a few months. So, the more I drive, the worse the impressions from the car become. Although in terms of chassis and engine reliability, everything is fine, which is the most important thing.
Flaws : box, insulation.

Hyundai Accent III, 2009
In general, Hyundai Accent III causes only pleasant emotions. Motor power - 112 "horses". It seems to be a little, but the machine is frisky. Of the shortcomings, I can note 2 points. The first - the roar of the "engine" in the cabin is too audible. There is hardly any noise from the street. The second is a small ground clearance. Not at all for our roads, as soon as you leave the highway, you immediately begin to rub the bottom. As for the advantages, I can name a smooth ride, power, good sound insulation. A lot needs to be improved. Especially native music. Outwardly, Hyundai Accent III likes the design of the "five". And I will put another Mouzon. I want to note that the car is well assembled, however, a large gap is noticeable at the hood. But this is not such a serious drawback. Installed gas on the car. The equipment is good, Italian. Power has not diminished, all 112 "horses" are working. And refueling the car has become much cheaper.
Advantages : playful, smooth machine with great design.
Flaws : low ground clearance.

In 1999, the South Korean company Hyundai introduced the world to the second generation Accent with in-plant marking LC, which is just a product of a deep modernization of the original incarnation model. At home, the car was produced until 2005, having previously survived the modernization in 2003, and in India until 2013. In Russia, it is primarily known as a budget sedan, which was produced from 2001 to 2012 at the facilities of the Taganrog Automobile Plant.
Outwardly, the "Accent" of the second generation looks harmonious and neat, but the look is not particularly catchy. The compact car body flaunts neatly molded bumpers, nice-looking lighting equipment and good proportions in general, which makes its appearance very attractive and nimble.
In general, the “second” Hyundai Accent is available in sedan and hatchback bodies (with three or five doors) and is 4215-4260 mm long, 1670-1680 mm wide and 1395 mm high. The gap between the axles of the "Korean" is 2440 mm, and its ground clearance is 170 mm. In the "marching" form, the machine weighs from 970 to 1176 kg, depending on the version.
The interior of the second-generation Accent is planned quite competently and captivates in terms of ergonomics, but is tailored exclusively from cheap finishing materials. The steering wheel of the car is simple, the “dashboard” of instruments is archaic, but informative, and the center console is decorated with minimalism inherent in “state employees”.
Hyundai Accent has no problems with internal capacity - five adults sit in the cabin, including the driver. However, there is not enough legroom in the back, and in general, tall passengers will not be entirely comfortable, and the front seats are practically devoid of lateral support.
The luggage compartment of the sedan holds only 375 liters of luggage, and the hatchback - from 321 to 859 liters. To transport bulky items, the backs of the rear seats are transformed in a ratio of 60:40, and in all versions, without exception, a full-size spare tire is hidden in a niche under the raised floor.
Specifications. The second generation of the "Accent" of the Taganrog assembly is available with two four-cylinder petrol "atmospherics" with a volume of 1.5 liters each.
- The first option is a 12-valve unit with multiport fuel injection, generating 92 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 132 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
- The second is a motor with a 16-valve timing and a multi-point power system, the return of which is 102 "mare" at 5800 rpm and 134 Nm of ultimate thrust at 3000 rpm.
A 5-speed “mechanics” works exclusively with the “younger” engine, and a 4-band “automatic” also works with the “senior” one. Depending on the version, the car accelerates to the first “hundred” in 10.5-14.2 seconds, gains a maximum of 166-181 km / h and “eats” 7.5-8.6 liters of fuel on average in combined conditions.
- In addition, the Hyundai Accent was equipped with 1.3-1.6-liter gasoline fours, developing 75-105 horses and 114-143 Nm of torque potential, and a 1.5-liter turbodiesel producing 82 forces and 182 Nm of available thrust.
The "accent" of the second incarnation uses a front-wheel drive "bogie" with a transversely based power plant, a load-bearing body type and independent suspension front and rear. MacPherson struts and an anti-roll bar are used on the front axle, and the rear part is suspended by means of longitudinal and transverse levers and hydraulic shock absorbers.
The steering on the car is made according to the “gear-rack” scheme with a hydraulic booster, and the brake system combines front disc and rear drum mechanisms (on expensive trim levels there is also 4-channel ABS with EBD).
Among the advantages of the "Korean" are: good looks, elastic engines, good ride, low cost, affordable maintenance, reliable design and balanced driving performance.
But he also has disadvantages - cramped second-row seats, simple interior trim, poor sound insulation and a low level of prestige.
Prices and equipment. In the secondary market of Russia in the spring of 2016, the "second" Hyundai Accent can be purchased at a price of 150,000 to 250,000 rubles (although more affordable and more expensive options are offered).
Cars of the Taganrog assembly already “flaunt” as standard: air conditioning, an audio system, a height-adjustable steering column and power steering ... The “top” solutions also have: two airbags, electric side mirrors, fog lights and ABS with EBD.
In most markets, the model replaced the second-generation Accent, which is still produced at TagAZ. Moreover, it was called "Verna" only in Russia, in other countries it was the "Accent" of the third generation.
Most of the Verna units and assemblies are borrowed from the previous model ( ZR, 2011, No. 8 ), but there are still differences: in particular, an electric booster is installed instead of the power steering. He most of all worries the owners.
FIVE HUNDRED AROUND
The mechanism with the ending 500 in the designation code is disturbing even on a new machine. He works too noisily: either he creaks, or rustles, or crackles, or even sings like a nightingale. However, up to a certain point, he copes with his duties. The first failures of the EUR were noted at a run of 50-60 thousand km, when the steering wheel suddenly got up with a stake (most often this happened in hot weather). If the speed was low - consider yourself lucky.
It is not difficult to return the mechanism to normal: you need to turn off the ignition and take a break. But the refusal can be repeated at any time!
Considering that the EPS error (this abbreviation means EUR) was stored in memory, dealers changed the unit under warranty. True, it is not always quick, since few people keep the EUR in the warehouse. Often, deliveries had to wait for months, and against the background of a ban on operation - a record of this is made in the diagnostic report. For the sake of a good cause, it’s not a sin to be patient, but ... instead of the removed mechanism, dealers put exactly the same one. In fact, they changed the awl for soap - with the same capricious resistive moment sensors.
When the warranty of most machines came to an end, another problem arose: you can’t buy a penny sensor separately (it’s not supplied as a spare part), so you had to change the expensive assembly assembly at your own expense.
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
Then the owners sounded the alarm, uniting on the forum of their club. It turned out that 38% of users have the same problem. This was confirmed by the inhabitants of Ukraine - they counted as many as 57% of refusals. In Ukraine, "Verna" (that is, "Accent III") was more popular. It even started selling earlier than ours. A considerable part of the cars was used in a taxi - with the appropriate mileage.
The Slavic brothers were the first to start fighting for their rights by contacting the Hyundai Motor Ukraine representative office. Say, admit a design defect that affects safety, and replace the defective unit for free even after the warranty expires. Even if not immediately, but justice prevailed: dealers were obliged to change the mechanism, regardless of the year of manufacture and mileage, if there was an error in the controller's memory. Moreover, already upgraded units were installed: 56300–0N502 for the gasoline version and 56300–0N702 for the diesel version. Both - with an optical sensor, which does not have drift.
But what about in Russia? The club’s appeal to Hyundai Motor CIS received a reply (for the full text, see www. the problems of motorists are solved in a more civilized manner.
For reference: in addition to the aforementioned units, on the “verns” occasionally came across mechanisms with the ending 501 in the code, with an electromagnetic sensor. They are not involved in the main problem, however, by 40–60 thousand km, they often begin to knock on bumps due to a lack of lubrication in the intermediate coupling. The YSBB091105QQK lubricant itself, along with work, is three orders of magnitude cheaper than an electric booster, so dealers often breed a client to replace the EUR: it’s more profitable for them. But in Ukraine, lubrication is carried out without question and even the steering mechanisms are restored using a repair kit 56553-25000 (it costs about 300 rubles).
AT THE ORIGINS OF SOLARIS
Another issue is shock absorbers. Relatives, the Mando firms, cannot cope with the buildup of the body, even when they are new. Especially goes to the rear passengers. On the waves of the coating, the car wags its back, every now and then striving to slide off the trajectory. Perhaps, if Verna had become more common in Russia, this feature would have been noticed earlier. But until the super-popular Solaris appeared with almost the same rear suspension (with a semi-independent H-beam, similar weight distribution and similar shock absorbers, only installed at a different angle), the media and the owners were silent. The latter were simply looking for the most acceptable replacement options. Tried "Kayaba", "Sax", "Monroe" - it's not that. We settled on "Horses": "8240-1115 Sport" rear assembly and "8610-1410 Sport" front. Dealers, alas, were not involved in this matter either - they only changed obviously faulty shock absorbers with smudges under warranty.
Among other things, with native shock absorbers, the resource of the struts and stabilizer bushings is almost half as much: if with the Horses they nurse under 90 thousand, then with the Mando it is barely 50 thousand km.
The rear suspension, apart from the shock absorbers, is reliable. The brakes in the version without anti-lock braking system are drum brakes, with it - disc brakes. The pad resource is 90–100 thousand and 60–70 thousand km, respectively.The rear suspension, apart from the shock absorbers, is reliable. The brakes in the version without anti-lock braking system are drum brakes, with it - disc brakes. The pad resource is 90–100 thousand and 60–70 thousand km, respectively.
STATE OF AGGREGATION
The "faithful" were supplied to the Russian market with one engine - the G4EE of the Alpha series. The unit is well known from the Goetz and was known as reliable. But sometimes, during a cold start, idle speeds can fluctuate, hinting at low-quality fuel. The problem is solved by changing the refueling point or, more radically, by replacing the firmware of the control unit from the basic identifier TFE6I41 to the modified TFE6I42 for Russian realities.
There are no complaints about the manual gearbox, which cannot be said about the clutch: either the pedal starts to creak, or the release bearing buzzes. It happened that by 50 thousand km the noise became unbearable, forcing the whole assembly to be changed. However, there are few such cases, after all, the clutch serves up to 100 thousand km. Keep in mind that refurbished baskets are supplied for spare parts, but they nurse the declared resource without problems.
In the machine, we regularly change the oil and put up with a slightly thoughtful operation of the unit. No other annoyances were found.
The body endures chemicals, you can hardly see rust on it. Sometimes the paint peels off from the side moldings and from the plug in the bumper under the eyebolt, but this is rare. It happened that dealers during the pre-sale adjustment of the gaps between the hood and fenders damaged the paint on the hinge bolts. Go and then prove that the car was not in an accident! And the additional alarm system installed by the same dealers often fails.
Despite the fact that its twin brother Kia Rio was built on the basis of Verna, the latter has no such problems. But there are others, which we will talk about shortly.
