Hyundai Solaris began to be sold at the right time. Our motorists finally realized that the car should be not too expensive, but always new. And the numbers of salaris sales in our country only confirm this fact. However, the little car himself did not disappoint either. And after the update that he had recently underwent, the budget “Korean” was supposed to become even better. But whether it became? We have to find out.
Usually the design of budget sedans and hatchbacks does not give much attention. And if so, then you do not have to be surprised that many budget models of the eyes, to put it mildly, do not delight at all. But this does not apply to Hyundai Solaris. He, before restyling, pleased his owners with pretty forms, and after updating his appearance became even more interesting. But not so much has changed. Hyundai designers corrected the form of the front optics, changed the radiator grill, added several more inconspicuous strokes. The back of the car did not start at all. And nevertheless, these not the biggest changes gave the result – the car began to look more interesting, added in solidity. If the price of Hyundai Solaris is surprised, then it is quite possible to decide that Hyundai Solaris is a representative of golf class.
There are fewer changes inside. Designers and engineers who worked on the update of the car listened to the wishes of the owners and potential buyers and changed only what complaints received about. Von displays on the central console, for example, will now be dark. On the long road, the eyes of the driver and the front passenger will get tired a little less. In addition, during the update, some characters were redrawn in a combination of devices. But you can only notice this if it is specially several times in a row to transplant from the old Solaris to updated and look for differences. Otherwise, the salon Solaris remained the same – very pretty, cozy and quite, if not forget about the cost of the car, high -quality.
In the second row of seats, looking for something new and it is completely pointless. The wheelbase during modernization has not changed, which means that Solaris could not become more spacious for the rear passengers. So, after all, no one really complained about the tightness. Among its many competitors, Hyundai Solaris has long been considered one of the most spacious cars and not without reason. Not to say a bad word and about the trunk. Solaris with a sedan body is its volume of 435 liters. The hatchback has a little less – only 370 liters.
But in technical terms, the updated Hyundai Solaris from dorestyling cars is very noticeable. If earlier, gasoline engines (1.4 liters, 107 horsepower and 1.6 liters, 123 horsepower), which were available for a Korean car, were combined with a five -speed mechanical gearbox and an archaic four -stage “automatic”, now in pairs with Six -speed “mechanics” and “automatic” will operate more powerful engine. Only Koreans plan to impose a struggle for the buyer of cars by class above.
And if you start from sled characteristics, then the budget “Korean” has long been ready for this struggle. Slaris is controlled cool. And this is without any discounts on his budget. Even with a less powerful engine, there is enough dynamics, even with tires of not the most eminent manufacturer, handling is magnificent, even ordinary civil brakes delight with their clarity and high informativeness. Shine! Who would have thought about ten years ago that even during the wheel of a modest Korean sedan or hatchback you can have fun. And only one minus does not allow you to call the Hyundai Solaris suspension sample. It is still too hard, and on broken roads, especially if the car is loaded to the eyeballs, it also does not have enough energy intensity.
A significant minus, it turns out, is only one. The pluses are much more. So you do not have to be surprised that Hyundai Solaris in our country is deservedly popular. He would easily retain his leading positions in the segment of budget sedans and hatchbacks without any modernization. Now we can safely say that he will not only hold them, but also strengthen.
