Car Features - Top 10 Most Viewed New Car Profiles

Since adding new cars to the mix last July, we had tracked them in which more views meant their popularity and people searching them had interest. Half of them were sub-compacts, three mid-size SUVs (one is an anticipated vehicle, which we posted a day before its launch), and two MPVs. Unlike the most searched vehicles released by Google Philippines, the results are different from us (maybe we started late though).

Other cars like the Honda Brio and Brio Amaze, Toyota Vios (which, surprisingly, didn't make the list), and Mitsubishi Lancer EX were follow ups.

So we shall give to you the most viewed vehicle profiles

Hyundai Accent - Generation 4.1 (2015-2013)

HYUNDAI ACCENT SEDAN/HATCHBACK (2015-2013)

The second generation (fourth internationally) gave the Accent new changes including that all except the 1.4 GL MT having airbags and ABS brakes. Quality is a step up but not to the levels of established rivals. Hatchback with diesel introduced in February which caused the 1.6 sedan to be killed and an update for the 1.4's engine in May 2013 occurred.

Hyundai Accent - Generation 3 (2006-2010)

HYUNDAI ACCENT (2006-2010)

First made available in December 2005, the Accent is Hyundai's pitch in to the sedan market at the lower scale. The GLS came in first with a much "basic" GL in late 2007. While the successor didn't get a diesel in sedan form, it has one in the hatchback.

Car Profiles - Hyundai Accent Hatchback

HYUNDAI ACCENT HATCHBACK

While other contemporaries are content on fitting in gasoline powerplants, Hyundai seemed to have its own opportunity by being the opposite. Having lots of power under the hood which returns very high fuel savings wrapped in a practical body is one offer that we wouldn't pass.

The Good: Very fuel efficient, torque galore, classy styling.
The Bad: Limited rear visibility, huge price premium against the sedan brother.

Car Profiles - Hyundai Accent Sedan

HYUNDAI ACCENT SEDAN

An update done earlier in the year gave us sumptuous treats: a CVT transmission, a high end model, and the comeback of the diesel engine which makes fleets happy. While the line-up is expanded, some models aren't for everyone.

The Good: Comfortable ride
The Bad: Soft suspension
