The Korean company Hyundai, not stopping at what has been achieved, continues to release new developments of the Solaris model line to the Russian market. The car, previously called Accent, changed not only its name but also its appearance. The new version of Hyundai Solaris 2016 with an attractive appearance can hardly be called a budget car. The company's designers did a great job on the exterior, developing a new body concept.
Updated body Hyundai Solaris 2016
The face of the updated version has changed, collecting the best features of other cars. Only the radiator grille with the logo remained in place. In terms of new optics with original fog lights, the Solaris 2016 outwardly began to resemble the Hyundai Sonata. The distinctive bumper split into sections and linear slits on the sides give the car a fast, sporty look. For the sake of the car's speed, even the shape of the side mirrors has been improved.
The rear of the car has not lost the thoughtfulness of the arrangement of parts and the usual accuracy. The new optics, with perfectly fitted additional lighting devices, are successfully emphasized by the smooth lines of the trunk.
The difference between the hatchback and sedan Hyundai Solaris 2016 2017 is only in length - in the first 4,37 m, in the second 4,115 m. The rest of the indicators are the same. Width - 1,45 m, height - 1,7 m, not the greatest ground clearance - 16 cm and wheelbase - 2.57 m.
Potential buyers should be pleased with the wide variety of colors of the new model - about 8 options. Among which there is even a poisonous green.
What are the disadvantages of Solaris?
If you wish, you can find your shortcomings in any business. Digging well, you can find them in the Solaris model.
After crash tests, it turned out that the doors and sides of the car could not be saved from serious consequences in collisions, and one could only hope for an airbag.
With the release of the new model, it is expected that manufacturers will approach body painting more responsibly - it will not easily scratch and fade in the sun. It is desirable that there is no need to put the car in the garage to preserve the paint and varnish composition.
Of the minor flaws - inexpensive material on the seats and not the best quality plastic trim.
Solaris 2016 has become more comfortable
Appearance isn't the only aspect of a car's design. The beautiful interior and the comfort of the cabin are no less important. It should be noted that the designers coped with the work on these indicators quite successfully.
Although the interior does not differ in special bells and whistles, it is quite comfortable to be in the cabin, because even the basic configuration has:
- ergonomic seats with side bolsters to stabilize passengers and driver on tight bends;
- convenient location of traffic control devices;
- multimedia center;
- heated steering wheel for front seats and side mirrors;
- electric lifts with illuminated switches;
- air conditioning.
Only 5 people can fit in the car. But, the capacity of the luggage compartment can easily be doubled due to the folding rear seats. And this despite the fact that the nominal volume of the trunk is already quite large - for a sedan as much as 465 liters, for a hatchback a little less - 370 liters.
