Dimensions

The model "Solaris" after restyling almost did not change in size. It was decided to leave the wheelbase as before, its dimensions perfectly fit the updated version. As for the length, here the manufacturer slightly increased the body. Now it is equal to 4120 mm. At the same time, the width was not touched, and the usual 1700 mm was left. The height also remained at the same level and is 1470 mm in the Hyundai Solaris New 2014. Reviews of car enthusiasts and experts show that this solution is quite successful, as the car looks harmoniously both externally and internally. One moment can somewhat overshadow people who often have to ride off-road, this is the ground clearance, which also remained unchanged - 160 mm. Many owners tend to slightly more clearance in order to make the car completely universal.

Highlights of the exterior

Now it is worth considering what the Korean manufacturer offers in the exterior design of the body of the Hyundai Solaris 2014. Restyling (reviews allow such a conclusion) was not superficial, which in itself is very pleased motorists, reasonably well thought out. All the new elements harmoniously blended into the overall exterior, and gave a lot of new impressions.

In front of the Hyundai there is a chrome grille, a stylish optics unit, in which LED running lights can optionally be present , and in the lower part there are fog lamps. The hood is equipped with smooth transitions to the wings. This design solution gave the car a manhood, and it was to the liking of fans of dynamic exteriors, which is confirmed by the reviews posted on the sites.

The lines of the wings harmoniously pass to the central part of the car.

Behind the Hyundai Solaris are voluminous lanterns that stretch from the roof to the bumper. The luggage compartment door is quite comfortable. The stops are located at the very bottom of the bumper.

What awaits motorists in the cabin

Despite the small dimensions, the stock of the internal space is large enough and the car can be called spacious, and the size of the luggage compartment corresponds to that of most competitors and is average. Its volume of 370 liters in the model Hyundai Solaris hatchback 2014. Reviews show discontent with these dimensions. Many believe that in this car you could slightly increase the dimensions of the trunk. However, against the background of other advantages, this shortcoming can not be called sufficiently weighty.

The interior of the car is quite spacious, the materials are of good quality. The quality of assembly is at a high level and meets European standards. In all elements of the cabin, the manufacturer's emphasis on comfort is felt. Very important: Hyundai Solaris 2014 (reviews of owners are a confirmation of this fact) was collected on modern technologies, so the gaps between the body panels and interior parts have the same gap.

The driver and passengers got a lot of pleasure from the seats. Their design has a comfortable profile, impressive lateral support, as well as a large number of adjustments.

The rear row seats perfectly accommodate three adults who will not feel discomfort during the movement.

Speed mode is identical to the sedan of the same model. MKPP allows you to gain speed for 11.5 seconds, automatic transmission - for 13.4 seconds. The possibilities of the "automatic machine" are somewhat worse, for example, the maximum speed stops within 170 km / h, when the mechanic will accelerate to 190 km / h. Fuel consumption is quite economical. So, for example, in the city it will take 7.5-8.5 liters to move to Hyundai Solaris 2014.
