Summary

This Hyundai's best attribute is the CVT transmission that keeps the engine relaxed even as you push it higher into the rev band. A five-speed manual transmission powers this model, offering direct injection and twin cams to provide a strong 104 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque.

2005 Hyundai Accent

The 2005 Hyundai Accent is a front-drive economy car whose stylish interior, responsive handling, and sophisticated powertrain make it much more than just an also-ran in its class. The starter engine produces 111 horsepower @ 6300 rpm with 127 lb.-ft of torque at 4400 rpm at the flywheel (the two final drive ratios are not yet available). This Hyundai's best attribute is the CVT transmission that keeps the engine relaxed even as you push it higher into the rev band, which allows for near-effortless high-speed cruising. A few practices (such as keeping your foot out of boost until you've racked up some actual speed. Otherwise, you'll find yourself spinning tires) will soon smooth over these rough edges, and equipping this Accent GT model enables an enthusiast driver to experience far more potential from his or her vehicle compared to driving one without CVT technology than he'd ever guess possible...and all while enjoying better fuel efficiency than traditional automatic.

The 2005 Hyundai Accent combines it's efficient four-cylinder engine with dramatic upgrades in style. A five-speed manual transmission powers this model, offering direct injection and twin cams to provide a strong 104 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque. Strangely, the larger 1.8L achieves almost identical mileage figures within EPA estimates, although we would be interested to see how real-world statistics compare favorably or differ from its smaller counterpart.

Best Replacement Parts for your 2005 Hyundai Accent

The first thing we recommend is a new set of headlights. Considering the 2005 Hyundai Accent does not come with projector lenses, upgrading them to Spyder Auto's LED lights will give your car much better visibility during night drives and eliminate glare from oncoming traffic. The second upgrade we recommend is EGR body kits that come in both front bumper and rear bumper variations. They'll add an aggressive look to your Accent right off the bat while also giving it that fierce aura whenever you're driving around town. Last but not least is Seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk replacements that will make your Elantra look like something straight out of a magazine!

How to improve the performance of the 2005 Hyundai Accent?

To improve the performance of the 2005 Hyundai Accent, Genesis Tuners recommends replacing a few parts. First, replace your factory clutch with one from XClutch to make gear changes quicker and smoother. Next, install Brembo brakes on all four corners of your car. These will help you stop faster around corners when pushed to their limits! Lastly, install an aftermarket cold-air intake system from AFE in order to keep airflow consistent under high-performance driving conditions while being more efficient than stock parts!

There are many different exhaust systems for the Hyundai Accent out there. We recommend a Borla Exhaust System to make your car sound great without being too loud and raspy. Their mufflers even have an aggressive tone, but it's still quiet enough not to get you pulled over by cops. Get one from us at Genesis Tuners today.
