Hyundai’s car won the love of Russians quickly, literally from the moment of presentation. Incredible design, reliability, safety and practicality, as well as an affordable price, have allowed him to remain a sales leader to this day. Technical tuning "Solaris" (sedan) is represented by special details, with the help of which the manufacturer was able to improve the aerodynamic qualities of the car.
The car replaced the Accent variant. If we consider in more detail, then this machine is the fourth generation proposed. The first show took place in 2010, production began in 2011.
Appearance
Tuning “Solaris” looks quite attractive from the outside. After restyling in 2014, the sedan changed the lighting optics, and manufacturers installed running lights on the bumper . The headlights have a faceted shape, linzovannaya low beam. HDO located near the fog. The expressive lines of the body ennoble the look and visually increase the dimensions of the car.
Salon
The good quality of decoration and assembly pleases the internal tuning of Solaris. The sedan (photo of the cabin below) is equipped with an optitron instrument panel, which has a Russified trip computer and is highlighted in blue. Due to the large scales, good readability is provided, however, in the sunlight, the “tools” periodically flare. The multimedia system on the center console is devoid of a large and color screen, which does not please. But there are AUX / USB inputs. Ergonomics are good, but the small central box-armrest is inconvenient for elbow support.
Considering tuning "Solaris" (sedan), it is necessary to say about the seats. The driver's seat keeps the driver in bends due to the successful lateral support, but the seat profile is not outstanding, resulting in lower back pain with a long ride. The back sofa is cramped, which is expected. Especially not enough space for knees. The luggage compartment has a rather large volume - 465 liters, so there should be no problems with loading things.
Driving performance
The Hyundai car is aggregated by an atmospheric power plant 1.6 (123 hp) and a six-speed manual transmission.
There is more than enough power in the city, and on the highway you don’t feel flawed. “Korean” pulls well in the low-speed zone and spins briskly at high (up to cut-off) - this is how you can characterize the technical tuning of the “Solaris” (sedan). The dynamics are excellent up to 140 kilometers per hour. Then the small potential of the engine makes itself felt, and the ardor of the car gradually disappears. The gearbox has well-selected gear ratios, but the clarity of gears is mediocre.
In cornering, a lack of maneuverability is felt, as a result of which the front axle shifts outward of a given path. The steering wheel effort is “unnatural” - the steering is easy even at high speed. This does not contribute to the quick cornering, although the banks are small.
Tuning "Solaris" (sedan) includes a long-stroke, energy-intensive suspension, which provides a good level of comfort - successfully swallows bumps in small and medium sizes. A disadvantage can be considered some jumping, arising on the road bulges. Sound insulation by the standards of the segment is at a high level - aerodynamic noise penetrates the cabin only at speeds above 120 kilometers per hour, and engine operation becomes apparent after reaching 3,500 rpm.
