In government frontal impact crash testing the Hyundai Accent scored a perfect five stars for front occupant protection. But it did not do as well in side impact testing. It scored four stars for front occupant protection and only three stars for rear passenger protection. The Insurance institute for Highway Safety gave the Accent its second highest rating of "acceptable" in frontal offset collisions and their worst rating of "poor" for side impact tests.
