Restyled Hyundai Solaris: owner reviews and a review of the new car

Appearing in 2011 on the Russian market, Hyundai Solaris quickly gained success and now enjoys a stable demand among motorists. But time does not stand still, and after 2 years, the engineers of the Korean company decided to update this "budget", presenting in 2013 to the public its new restyling "Hyundai Solaris".

Owner reviews and car design review

"Hyundai Solaris" and "Hyundai Accent" - what unites them? At first glance, nothing. However, if you take a closer look, you will say: "Yes this is two identical cars!" In fact, this is so. "Accent" and "Solaris" - this is really the same car, only the first is delivered to the European market, and the second - to the Russian one. The only thing that distinguishes them is the suspension adapted to Russian conditions on the Hyundai Solaris sedan. The owners' comments (2013 Solaris) state that Accent is really less resistant to pits and bumps than its "twin brother." As for the design itself, there are no differences here. The new Hyundai Solaris car, as well as his fellow Accent, received a different design for the main light headlights, a bumper and a radiator grille. Now the relief was added to the hood, side doors and trunk lid. Also interesting were the new fog lights integrated into the streamlined plastic bumper. If other companies practice mostly round fog lights, in our case, the "budget" got vertical optics with an easy continuation at the end. Also, the roof on the Hyundai Solaris sedan also changed. The owners' comments mark its high aerodynamics, which is achieved due to clearly calculated angles and slopes of the body parts.

Hyundai Solaris: owner feedback on technical characteristics

Despite the fact that many Korean cars have quite a wide variety of engines in their line, the Russian version of Hyundai is equipped with only one engine. It is a petrol 16-valve unit with a capacity of 123 "horses" and a working volume of 1591 cubic centimeters. However, do not worry, because this engine is one of the most powerful, which can be installed on a budget class sedan. With its curb weight of 1110 kilograms, the novelty accelerates to 190 kilometers per hour. A jerk to a hundred is estimated at 10.2 seconds. This is one of the best performance indicators for the new Hyundai Solaris saloon.

Reviews of owners about the cost

With the advent of a new restyling version of the four-door Korean Solaris, the manufacturer did not raise its cost. Moreover, now the companies are fighting hard for the right to exist on the world market. And since "Hyundai Solaris" belongs to the class of budget cars, the price for it in 2014 remained unchanged. The basic version with a manual transmission costs from 459 thousand rubles, the maximum - about 689 thousand. For the box "machine" will have to pay 40 thousand rubles from above.

Now it is no surprise that the "Hyundai Solaris" -2013 reviews of owners has only positive.
