The Hyundai Accent was first introduced in the Vietnamese market in April 2018. At that time, it was produced and assembled at the Ninh Binh plant, offering four variants and six color options.
In 2022, the Hyundai Accent and the Toyota Vios engaged in a close sales race, not only within the B-segment sedan category but also for the title of the best-selling car in Vietnam. By the end of 2022, the Hyundai Accent finished second to the Toyota Vios by a narrow margin of just 884 units.
In the first four months of 2024, the Hyundai Accent has temporarily taken the lead in the B-segment sedan category. During this period, the Accent achieved cumulative sales of 3,096 units, while the Toyota Vios and Honda City trailed with 2,680 and 2,570 units sold, respectively.
With a price range of 439-569 million VND, the 2024 Hyundai Accent is considered competitively priced when compared to its direct rivals, such as the Toyota Vios (458-545 million VND) and the Honda City (559-609 million VND).
