When shopping for a sedan, we understand you are most likely looking for a vehicle that offers incredible gas-milage so you can spend less time and money filling up at the gas tank and more time doing other things like traveling. With a sedan, we're also sure you're looking for a ton of features at a great value. If you're looking for all that and more, we suggest you take a look at the 2020 Hyundai Accent and the 2020 Kia Rio! Below we're going to go over everything these two vehicles have to offer so you can decide which sedan is right for you.

Under the hood of each Hyundai Accent is a 120 horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 113 lb-ft of torque.
