Show Sebastian Cenizo Senior Editor Sebastian jumped straight into the workplace after high school. Various vocations in sales, logistics, and project management helped him buy and modify several cars over the years, while his passion for motoring journalism saw him contribute to local print media while running car enthusiast clubs. But in 2019, the opportunity to join CarBuzz arrived. Originally handling reviews of new cars, his love of the technical led to writing detailed blog posts on various aspects of car care and ownership. He currently handles news sourcing, writing, and editing, along with social media management and the clarification of patent lingo. In his spare time, he's either reading, driving, or looking to collect more BMW Performance parts for the E82 and E9X platforms. The small car segment lost more members on Thursday, with Hyundai announcing the end of production of the entry-level Accent compact car and the N vestige of the Veloster hatchback. The original Ioniq hybrid also ended production this year, ceding ground to a suite of electric vehicles with an Ioniq sub-brand. The three cars will not be back for a 2023 model run. The changes reflect the ever-changing tastes of car shoppers. The Accent served as Hyundai's entry-level point into the brand since 2008 as a solid budget car with a great warranty. Its $17,500 starting price left it with a tiny touchscreen and it lacked the driver-assist features Hyundai makes standard across the rest of its lineup. In place of the subcompact car is the Hyundai Venue small crossover launched in 2020. It has standard features such as automatic emergency braking and an 8.0-inch touchscreen, but it also has a starting price that exceeds $20,000 with destination. Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2020 testing - Best Car To Buy 2020 The end of production in July for the Veloster N comes as less of a surprise. Hyundai discontinued all but its performance variant for 2022, and the asymmetrical hatchback with a rear third door on the passenger side but none on the driver side kept losing ground to higher riding crossovers. Now, those more popular vehicles get the N performance treatment, in both the Kona N small crossover and Elantra N compact sedan. The Veloster N was so good it might have won Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2020 award if not for that pesky Porsche 911.  2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, Ioniq Electric, and Ioniq Plug-In The end of the Ioniq was announced earlier this month, as the hybrid and plug-in hybrid sedan served as a launch pad for an Ioniq sub-brand featuring only battery electric vehicles. The Ioniq EV compliance car was discontinued in 2021, and the hybrid hatchbacks with up to a 59 mpg combined rating couldn't keep pace with the Toyota Prius and Prius Prime. The Ioniq carries on in name in the excellent Ioniq 5 electric crossover and the new Ioniq 6 sedan. 2023 Hyundai Accent – If you are looking for an affordable small sedan, we recommend you check out Hyundai Accent 2021. On sale from 2018, this generation of Accents will be updated soon. We don’t yet have information on the 2023 model, but if Hyundai updates the smallest four doors this year, there will be an increase in style. But we don’t think we need to wait for this possibility if you are in the market now. 2023 Hyundai AccentWhen the Hyundai Accent went on sale with an updated design in 2018, this subcompact sedan came with a more luxurious look than ever before. The accent currently wears a large grille with the headlights swept back, while the hood has a protrusion that connects the headlights to the windshield. On the back, the sedan wears sharp taillights, a chiseled rear bumper, and a simple rear spoiler attached directly to the trunk. However, we expect Accent 2023 to maintain the same overall design as the current model as a built-in model. 2023 Hyundai Accent InteriorAccents today look more luxurious than their price tag. Therefore, we hope Hyundai accent 2023 will share many design elements similar to the models sold today. The U-shaped dashboard separates the HVAC and infotainment systems in style while delivering functional buttons and dials. The rest of the interior has a simple design with clean lines. Hyundai Accent FeatureToday’s standard features include a 5-inch touchscreen, USB port, four audio speakers, Bluetooth, and Siri Eyes Free. Optional features include a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, three USB ports, and Hyundai’s Blue Link telematics system. These features should be brought in for the 2023 model year. Hyundai Accent EngineHyundai currently offers one engine with Accents. Power comes from a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 120 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a six-speed automatic transmission is available. Front-wheel drive is the only drive available. We expect this powertrain to bring a slight upgrade to the Hyundai Accent 2023. Safety FeaturesAccent’s only standard safety feature is the rearview camera. Optional features include forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Accent currently receives an overall four-star safety rating from NHTSA and gets a “Good” rating in five IIHS crash tests. However, these features and safety ratings are expected to be improved in Accent 2023. 2023 Hyundai Accent Release Date and PriceHyundai has not announced an official release date for the 2023 Accent. The price for Hyundai accent 2023 is also still unclear. We expect prices for subcompact cars to remain close to the current model range from $16,400 to $20,505, including destinations without any major updates. 2021 Hyundai AccentThe Hyundai Accent 2021 is one of the few remaining small extra cars on sale today. Most automakers are leaving the market to focus on building small crossover SUVs. But Hyundai remains committed to building a small, affordable, and feature-rich sedan. Hyundai Accent RedesignThe Accent was completely redesigned in 2018 and continues to the 2021 model year without significant updates. That’s not a bad thing because the Accent offers excellent fuel economy, a good mix of features, and a spacious and comfortable interior. It may not be the fastest car on the market, but it’s arguably the average performance for this class. Accent CompetitorsAlthough competitors are dwindling, Accent does have some rivals. For example, the Toyota Yaris is its strongest competitor and our top-ranked extra-small sedan. We also love the redesigned Nissan Versa, which combines a cabin with a surprising premium feel with several safety features and decent passenger space. There’s also the Kia Rio, a car that shares almost everything with accents under the sheet metal, although we think Rio is a bit sportier to drive. Hyundai Accent ModelsHyundai Accent 2021 is available in three trim levels: SE, SEL, and Limited. All three are powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four (120 hp, 113 lb-ft) engine. Base SE is available with a six-speed manual transmission. In addition, a continuous variable automatic transmission is available on SE and standard on SEL. SEStandards include:
