Despite their same height, the Toyota Vios is 1mm broader than the other one. Plus, it has a difference in the cargo volume of 13 liters, which means the Vios will give you more room for hauling stuff you need. So, it is now a tie between the two.

Speaking of the exterior, the Vios again beat its rival with the modern style. Since Toyota has a new design, it further comes with larger alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, and a fog-light pair. 

The Accent is also pleasant, but it seems like the design of this model against the new Hyundai's Fluidic design philosophy.

The Vios model is now using an automatic climate control AC, which is further convenient than its rival's manual temperature control. It also goes with a push start button and steering wheel audio control.

Additionally, this design is beneficial since it allows Bluetooth and Weblink to deliver a more variant on-board entertainment. 

Hyundai Accent vs Toyota Vios: Engine & Performance

After a series of leading points, the Vios appears to miss the mark in this round. 

The Accent has bounced back with its innovative engine that comes in two choices: a typical 1.4 L and a 1.6 L Diesel. Both types are more robust than their competitor. 

While the Vios has a 1.5 L variant engine producing around 106 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque, the diesel engine of Hyundai Accent can deliver more power with 128 horsepower and 260 nm of torque.

Another point that has led to the loss of the Vios is its CVT transmission. Toyota suddenly changes its standard automatic transmission to the CVT and has created such diverse opinions among its buyers. 

Some people said that they would prefer the old type to this new one since it brings some unpleasant feelings while driving. Yet, still, other people seem to like this more than the automatic one.
