"Hyundai Solaris", one might say, is a bestseller in the Russian market. The machine has gained such popularity due to its good price-quality ratio. Moreover, the car is widely distributed in other countries - in the USA, Germany, China, etc. most recently, in 2017, the manufacturer released a new Hyundai Solaris. Price, equipment and specifications will be discussed in our today's article.

Design

The car has a bright and dynamic appearance. But even here there was no plagiarism. The front part, namely the radiator grill, has similar features with the latest Focus. And he, in turn, borrowed the idea from Aston Martin. Well, the view of the car is really more expensive than its real value. The car can compete in the D-class and become a cheap alternative to the Elantra.

The design has also changed optics. The maximum configuration of "Hyundai Solaris"includes daytime running lights. Fog lamps - linzovanny xenon. The exterior of the car is arranged in such a way that it is suitable for both young people and pensioners. The Koreans did their best.

In terms of size, the car goes beyond the B-class. The car is 4.4 meters long, 1.47 meters wide and 1.73 meters high. The wheelbase is 2.6 meters. Ground clearance has decreased slightly compared to the previous generation. Now it is 16 centimeters. Nevertheless, the sedan copes well with bumps in the road and rides confidently on the dirt road.

Salon

The interior of the car has also been significantly modernized. Steering wheel - three-spoke, with aluminum inserts and remote control buttons. What else surprises Solaris? Complete sets above the average provide for the presence of a leather braid. It looks very acceptable and harmonious, with a neat line. The center console has a large 7-inch multimedia screen. But this display is not installed on every Solaris. Entry-level packages do not include multimedia.

Solaris' big problem is uncomfortable seats. Unfortunately, in the new generation, the manufacturer did not take into account this nuance. Owner reviews say that the chairs still have weak lateral support and a poorly thought out profile. "Solaris" cars of the "Lux" type configuration have electric seat adjustment. The rear sofa is not adjustable, even mechanically, regardless of the levelequipment. There is enough space in the back - tall passengers will rest their heads against the ceiling.

Specifications

Two four-cylinder naturally aspirated engines will be available on the Russian market. Diesel modifications are not provided.

What motors does the Solaris have with a lower than average configuration? Starting from the base, a 1.4-liter 16-valve engine with a capacity of 100 horsepower is available. The Koreans have made a number of improvements to this engine. So, the unit is distinguished by oil nozzles for cooling the pistons, distributed fuel injection and a pair of phase shifters. The maximum torque of the base engine is 132 Nm.

In the maximum version, a 1.6-liter engine with multipoint injection for 123 horsepower is available. Its torque is 151 Nm. The motor has also undergone technical improvements, thanks to which it consumes 5 percent less fuel than the previous generation. In the urban cycle, this figure is 8.9 liters. On the highway, the car spends no more than 6.6 liters. The previous, 1.4-liter engine has similar efficiency figures: 8.5 - in the city and 5.9 - on the highway.

Both engines are available with both manual and automatic transmissions.

Dynamics

First, consider the base motor. On the "automatic" this car accelerates to hundreds in 12.9 seconds. With mechanics, Solaris is more dynamic - 12.2 seconds. The performance of the top engine did not go much ahead. So,it accelerates to hundreds in 11.2 and 10.3 seconds on an automatic and manual gearbox, respectively. The maximum speed is 185 kilometers per hour.
