New "Hyundai Solaris": complete sets, characteristics and reviews

"Hyundai Solaris", we can say, is a bestseller on the Russian market. The car has won such popularity thanks to a good price-quality ratio. Moreover, the car is widely distributed in other countries - in the US, Germany, China, etc., more recently, in 2017, the manufacturer released a new "Hyundai Solaris". The price, equipment and technical characteristics will be discussed in our today's article.

Design

The car has a bright and dynamic appearance. But here also there was plagiarism. The front part, namely the grille, has similar features to the last "Focus". And the latter, 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 "Elantra". In the design, optics also changed. The maximum configuration of "Hyundai Solaris" provides the availability of daytime running lights. In the fog lamps - lenticular xenon. The exterior of the car is arranged in a way that is suitable for both young people and pensioners. Koreans tried to glory.

As for dimensions, the car goes beyond the B-class. The length of the car is 4.4 meters, width - 1.47 meters, height - 1.73 meters. The size of the wheelbase is 2.6 meters. The ground clearance is slightly reduced in comparison with the previous generation. Now it is 16 centimeters. Nevertheless, the sedan perfectly copes with irregularities on the road and confidently rides on the primer.

Salon

Essentially modernized and the inside of the car. The steering wheel is a three-spoke, with aluminum inserts and remote control buttons. What else surprises "Solaris"? Set above the middle provide for the presence of leather braids. 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. The initial class does not include multimedia. A big problem for "Solaris" is uncomfortable chairs. Unfortunately, in the new generation the manufacturer did not take into account this nuance. The owners' comments say that the seats still have weak lateral support and a poorly designed profile. The "Solaris" cars of "Lux" type have electric adjustment of seats. The rear sofa is not adjustable, even mechanically, regardless of the level of equipment. Behind the seats there is enough butt - tall passengers will rest on the top of the ceiling.

Specifications

Two four-cylinder atmospheric engines will be available on the Russian market. Diesel modifications are not provided. What motors are equipped with "Solaris" equipment below the average? Starting from the base, a 16-valve engine with a capacity of 1.4 horsepower, 100 horsepower, is available. Koreans made a number of improvements to this engine. So, the unit differs by oil nozzles for cooling of pistons, the distributed fuel injection and a pair of phase shifters. The maximum torque of the basic engine is 132 Nm.

The maximum version is available 1.6-liter engine with a multipoint injection of 123 horsepower. Its torque is 151 Nm. The motor has also undergone technical modifications, due to which it spends 5 percent less fuel than the previous generation. In the urban cycle, this figure is 8.9 liters. On the road, the car spends no more than 6.6 liters. Previous, 1.4-liter engine has similar performance indicators: 8.5 - in the city and 5.9 - on the highway. Both engines are equipped with both a mechanical and an automatic transmission.

Dynamics

First, consider the basic motor. On the "machine" this car accelerates to a hundred for 12.9 seconds. With the mechanics "Solaris" more dynamic - 12.2 seconds. The performance of the top engine did not go far ahead. So, up to a hundred it accelerates for 11.2 and 10.3 seconds on an automatic and mechanical box, respectively. The maximum speed is 185 kilometers per hour.
