Solaris is no longer a car, but a common noun. The prefix "credit" has to be detached from him through a huge internal effort, as was the case with Logan, and before him - with Focus. If we discard prejudices, this is a real success - to become the archetype of the people's passenger car, which is taken "by default", without bothering with research. And if there is a golf class in the world, then it would be quite fair to proclaim a solaris class in Russia. True, its founder is no longer a king and a god here

In recent years, Creta has been appointed the primary Hyundai, and Solaris exists, if not on a residual, then on a sufficient principle: for example, in the second generation it was stripped of the hatchback body, and the soplatform KiRio, on the contrary, was organized a five-door version of the X-Line. The result is predictable: Solaris is sold more than a third worse than Rio, and in the first half of the feverish 2020, it managed to release the Volkswagen Polo forward. And we are not talking about a disguised Rapid, just coming to dealers, but about a decrepit sedan ten years ago!

But the Koreans do not even think to sound the alarm: in the sweetest segment of crossovers, they have a feast with the mountain, the Cret of the second generation is on the way, and the former passenger superstar is simply required to moderate ardor, keep the bar and continue working for common capital. Although, judging by the predatory and unkind smile on the renewed face, Solaris is not going to give up. And very much even intends to make war.

On this occasion, he even received a halo version of Prosafety: its price goes for 1.2 million rubles, but you don't have to go to the South Port immediately from the dealer: from the factory you will be given both a red and black leatherette interior and stylish 16-inch disks, and LEDs wherever possible. We decided not to fly so far beyond the clouds and took one of the top, but not the most sophisticated, equipment. This is Elegance with the Prestige package, the price of which is without discounts - 1,120,000 rubles.

Interior

From the very beginning, the Solaris salon professed the rule of three "D": oak, cheap, soundly. Restyling does not shake these foundations in any way: the creators did not even try to revive the atmosphere, for example, by playing with colors and textures. Sad? Undoubtedly. But neat, comfortable and quite human. The most notable innovation for Solaris 2020 is a center console with an enlarged screen that kind of says, “I am the screen. What have you achieved? " The rest of the changes seem to be very small, but ultimately pleasant and useful.

The diagonal of the screen is now eight inches instead of seven, and it looks like it is glued right on top of the previous one. Hence the feeling that something is wrong with the deflectors too. At the same time, the frame encircling this entire block turned from silver to black, more solid, and nice chrome accents appeared on the ventilation grilles. Let's count the total draw?

The dashboard has been noticeably redrawn: the display in the center has become colored, the scales have a checkered background, and the digitization is now done in a more dynamic font. It's great, but in sunny weather the devices lack brightness: you turn it to the maximum - but it still faded

The profile of the seats has changed slightly and has become more comfortable, although there were no special complaints about the Solaris seats, as well as the general geometry of the landing. The main thing is that on all versions, including the most basic ones, there is now an electric (!) Adjustment of the lumbar support. A realt for those who have to spend a good half of their lives in these cars

The temperature control unit has not changed, and this is good: it is convenient to use it. The top-end configuration offers a full range of heaters - front seats, steering wheel, windshield and washer nozzles. But if you want to give warmth to the inhabitants of the second row, you will have to buy a Prestige package

Practicality

While designing the source code called Hyundai Accent / Verna, Koreans hardly had in mind that the car was going to become the star of Russian taxi fleets. And even if they did, they did nothing outstanding for this: passengers and cargo are given much less attention here than the driver. So what? That's right, and in the end it doesn't bother anyone.

An ordinary 180-centimeter person sits down by himself without a reserve: his knees are already resting on the soft back of the front seat, and the ceiling presses on the top of his head. Neither a central armrest nor cup holders are provided either - only pockets in the doors, designed for a half-liter bottle

Everywhere you look, simplicity, bordering on crime: and a cardboard raised floor with foam supports, and the bare metal of the bottom, and a lonely stowaway. Yes, a full-size spare tire is now an option, but compensation for this, at least in the form of an organizer, was not given

Technique and reliability

For us, it is Solaris of the second generation, and for the whole world - Accent is already in the fifth generation. Built on the latest version of the so-called Korean platform B - here it bears the GB designation, but ideologically does not differ from all the previous ones: in front of the McPherson strut, in the back there is a twisting beam, the same as that of the Elantra. The body structure consists of more than half of ultra-high-strength steel grades, all elements are galvanized.

In foreign markets, you can find Solaris-Accents-Vernes with liter turbo engines, variators and even robotic transmissions, but the Russian line is extremely conservative, and restyling has not brought any changes to the technique at all. There are two naturally aspirated engines to choose from: a 1.4-liter 100 horsepower or a more powerful 123-horsepower 1.6-liter unit. Both engines can be obtained with both "mechanics" and "automatic" - six gears both there and there.

All this works for a long time, reliably and without any problems - which is logical, otherwise Korean state employees will not see such circulations. The most serious sore - and that was quietly eliminated at the end of last year, before the release of the updated version. We are talking about a quickly clogged catalyst on the 1.6 engine, which can collapse, get into the cylinders with ceramic chips and lead to the formation of scoring on their walls. So, the catalysts are now different, and the control electronics have been reconfigured so that even with bad fuel misfire does not happen.

All other problems cannot be called large or massive, and many of them are associated with operating conditions. A brisk ride on bad roads may not withstand the front hub bearings and steering tips, and too neat owners, on the contrary, risk harming the rear brake calipers: if you always stop smoothly and gently, there is a risk that they will be bitten at some point. In addition, windshields do not differ in vitality, and on-board electrics and electronics can periodically throw out unexpected, but not fatal tricks.

The G4FG engine belongs to the Gamma family, although the American Accent from this year is equipped with a more modern aspirated Smartstream series. But ours is not yet archaic: an aluminum block, phase shifters at the inlet and outlet, an intake manifold of variable length

The six-speed automatic was developed directly by Hyundai-Kia. However, like the variator, which is installed on the Seltos crossover, and on foreign counterparts of our future Creta of the second generation, and on the American Accent. But the Russian office of Hyundai is still denying stepless prospects

Both engines are accustomed to "ninety-second" gasoline, and, as we have already found out, the older of them has now become less picky about fuel quality

The most striking element of the restyling in every sense is the full LED headlights with cornering lights. For the top-end configuration, they are put by default, and for the middle one they can be purchased as an option. As for the flashlights, they were only diode in the limited edition Prosafety. But rest assured that it won't be long

Riding

Years of upbringing on Russian roads instilled in Solaris, if not impeccable, but very correct and balanced character, which did not change at all after restyling.

The duet of the 123-horsepower engine and the "automatic" is still vigorous: in the city traffic such a Solaris feels excellent and even allows it to be nimble to a certain extent - for all its "10.5 to a hundred". Yes, in the "throttle to the floor" mode, the engine sounds loud and strained. Yes, the gearbox doesn't care too much about the softness of the shifting, sometimes allowing itself tangible jerks. But in the end, everything works harmoniously: rude, slightly uncouth, but honest and predictable. And a special thank you that there are still no "eco-friendly" settings with a thrust to higher gears, as in Volkswagen and Skoda. Moreover, the fuel consumption in the combined cycle is quite realistic to put in 6.5-7 liters per hundred.

The suspension works in the same way: it is quite plump, but with a commendable margin of safety, allowing you not to worry too much on bumpy roads. Solaris copes well with medium and large irregularities, confidently holds the high-speed line, and only pits and joints with sharp edges are unpleasant to him - the sedan reacts to them loudly and nervously. And on good asphalt, noticeable background itching attracts attention, but here the question is complex: a loud rumble of tires is added to the little things on the road (the new fender liner material did not improve the unimportant "noise"), and in traffic jams, subtle vibrations also run from the transmission side. But you can live.

And even burn a little: the Solaris drives through turns, confidently and unambiguously. He listens well to the optimal steering effort, clearly writes the trajectory, and as for deep rolls in the photographs, we deliberately burst into turns "on our ears." And not the least role in such distortions was played by the drift of puffy 15-inch tires with a 65% profile. Another question is that the excitement in the manners of Solaris cannot be found: he does everything right, but without a spark, and he does not give in to provocations.

On the other hand, it would be unfair to demand more from a budget sedan. And yes, a million - now we have such a budget price list. At least argue, at least cry, at least write letters to Sportloto.

Equipment

It is clear that the cheapest Solaris has not yet reached this mark: after restyling, the starting equipment Active has risen in price by a humane 11 thousand and costs 775,000 rubles … As before, this version is perfect for those wishing to practice their asceticism. Only a 100-horsepower engine, only "mechanics", no air conditioner and audio system, 15-inch stampings, manual mirrors - in general, thanks for having no "oars" in the front.

Life begins further, with the picking Active Plus costing at least 856,000 rubles … By the way, for simplicity of calculations: for the 1.6 engine in all versions you have to pay 25 thousand, and for the "automatic" - forty. So, not a nominal, but a real "input" configuration of Solaris can offer an air conditioner, a radio with USB and Bluetooth, electric mirrors, heated front seats, a multifunction steering wheel and rear electric windows.

For those who want more, there is a middle version. Comfort at a cost from 901 to 966 thousand rubles … The steering wheel is already trimmed with leather, and in addition, it is heated and adjustable for departure. The center console flaunts the same eight-inch display, the dashboard looks exactly like in our photos, and in addition, Solaris has cruise control with a useful speed limit function.

Capital, smile: a detailed test of the updated Hyundai Solaris

With optional packages, you can buy diode headlights, heated windshield, climate control, rear parking sensors, a USB port on the second row, side airbags and curtain airbags, a light sensor and alloy wheels: everything together will run as much as 135 thousand, although without diodes and pillows you can keep within 45. And keep in mind that all this is available only for 1.6-liter Solaris: it is assumed that if the client regretted 25 thousand for the engine, then the rest will not be spent.

And with the top version Elegance, as in our test, things are even simpler: the junior motor is not available for her at all. So either 1.6 on the "mechanics" for 1,031,000 rubles, or it is the same, only with the "automatic" everything for the same 40 thousand more. From the good: climate control, a full package of heating and parking sensors, diode headlights, an extended chrome package, disc brakes in the back (yes, the rest have drums), alloy wheels, a USB port on the second row and the same eyeglass case.

Good, but for a surcharge - optional packages. Safety for 70 thousand rubles includes side airbags and curtain airbags, navigation, a rear-view camera and 16-inch wheels. The same thing, only with the Yandex. Avto system, will cost 10 thousand more. Prestige for 43 thousand means keyless entry, heated rear seats, contactless opening of the trunk, remote engine start and - again - a rear-view camera.

And there is also a separate item in the price list that combines the Safety and Prestige packages. Probably, he is there for a reason - some kind of wholesale discount is meant, right? Well, hold your breath: if you simultaneously order sets for 43 and 70 thousand rubles, then you will need to pay for them … exactly 113 thousand! What is this if not the savage grin of capitalism?

Competitors

KiRio

Как мы выяснили в начале, кровный родственник Соляриса продаётся в полтора раза лучше - во многом за счёт кроссоподобной версии X-Line. А может, российскому клиенту просто ближе сдержанный стиль Kia, чем более азиатские нотки Hyundai. Техника у машин идентична, оснащение похоже, но Rio чуть дороже: от 799 тысяч за «базу» (правда, с кондиционером) до 109 900 рублей за самый топ без учёта дополнительных опций" style="width: 823px; margin-right: 8px;">

KiRio As we found out at the beginning, the Solaris blood relative is selling one and a half times better - largely due to the cross-like version of the X-Line. Or maybe the Russian client is simply closer to the restrained style of Kia than the more Asian notes of Hyundai. The equipment of the cars is identical, the equipment is similar, but the Rio is slightly more expensive: from 799 thousand for the "base" (albeit with air conditioning) to 109 900 rubles for the top one, excluding additional options

SkodRapid

Чешский лифтбек только что пережил глубокий рестайлинг, который в представительстве называют принципиальной сменой поколения. Обновили Рапиду по сути только внешность и интерьер, а кузов, техника и повадки остались нетронутыми. На выбор по-прежнему дают атмосферник 1.6 (90 или 110 сил) в сочетании с пятиступенчатой «механикой» или шестиступенчатым «автоматом», а также 125-сильный турбомотор 1.4, который дружит только с семиступенчатым «роботом». Цены без учёта опций - от 792 000 до 1 171 000 рублей" style="width: 823px; margin-right: 8px;">

SkodRapid The Czech liftback has just gone through a deep restyling, which the dealership calls a fundamental generation change. In fact, only the exterior and interior were updated to Rapid, and the body, equipment and habits remained intact. The choice is still given an aspirated 1.6 (90 or 110 forces) in combination with a five-speed "mechanics" or a six-speed "automatic", as well as a 125-horsepower 1.4 turbo engine, which is friends only with a seven-speed "robot". Prices excluding options - from 792,000 to 1,171,000 rubles

Volkswagen Polo

Вот кто изменился принципиально: был Поло, а стал… тоже Рапид! Немецкий седан с российским паспортом превратился в лифтбек, по сути отличающийся от Шкоды только дизайном. Моторы и коробки те же самые, оснащение похоже, цены близки: начинаем с 792 900 рублей, заканчи­ваем на 1 209 900. А есть ли у двух близнецов различия в повадках, мы выясним через месяц - и сразу же подробно всё расскажем" style="width: 823px; margin-right: 8px;">

Volkswagen Polo This is the one who has changed fundamentally: there was a Polo, but became … also Rapid! A German sedan with a Russian passport has turned into a liftback, which essentially differs from the Skoda only in design. The motors and gearboxes are the same, the equipment is similar, the prices are close: we start at 792,900 rubles, end at 1,209,900. And if the two twins have differences in habits, we will find out in a month - and we will immediately tell you everything in detail

LadVesta

У Лады есть убойное преимущество перед конкурентами: количество модификаций. Седан и универсал, они же, только в кросс-версиях, заряженная версия Sport… Глаза разбегаются! А вдобавок недавно Веста получила вариатор вместо односцеплен­чатого «робота» и стала совсем покладистой. Да, салон у неё попроще, чем у конкурентов, но настройки шасси едва ли не самые удачные в классе, а с ценами спорить и вовсе бесполезно. Cамая растоповая 145-сильная VestSport обойдётся в 1 078 000 рублей, отличнейший универсал SW Cross укладывается в миллион всеми версиями, кроме одной, а самая дешёвая версия обычного седана стоит 629 900 рублей. Ну, как какой-нибудь Гольф десять лет назад" style="width: 823px; margin-right: 8px;">

LadVest Lada has a killer advantage over its competitors: the number of modifications. Sedan and station wagon, they are, only in cross-versions, a charged version of Sport … Eyes run up! And in addition, Vesta recently received a variator instead of a single-link "robot" and became quite docile. Yes, its interior is simpler than that of its competitors, but the chassis settings are almost the most successful in the class, and it's completely useless to argue with prices. The most expansive 145-strong VestSport will cost 1,078,000 rubles, the excellent SW Cross station wagon fits into a million in all versions except one, and the cheapest version of a regular sedan costs 629,900 rubles. Well, like some Golf ten years ago

Renault Logan

Если же все эти бюджетники для вас недостаточно бюджетны, никто не отменял вариант старого доброго Логана. Да, медленный и слабый, от 82 до 113 сил. Да, кондовый. Но подвеска его всё так же всеядна, а цены до сих пор гуманны: от 577 000 до 840 990 рублей" style="width: 823px; margin-right: 8px;">

Renault Logan If all these state employees are not budget enough for you, no one canceled the version of the good old Logan. Yes, slow and weak, from 82 to 113 strength. Yes, condo. But its suspension is still omnivorous, and the prices are still humane: from 577,000 to 840,990 rubles

conclusions

Nothing revolutionary happened with the updated Solaris: it freshened up, received a couple of nice additions, but overall remained itself. And this will be quite enough for several more years, because the entire segment of budget cars in Russia is now essentially frozen: all the money and energy is spent on the crossover race. Based on its results, companies will decide what to do with conventional sedans and hatchbacks - and whether it makes sense to do anything with them at all.

In the meantime, Solaris will continue to make money - both for Hyundai and for taxis with carsharing, while for private owners they can still be considered the default choice. A kind of cheeseburger of the entire Russian car market: you don't know what to choose, and you are too lazy to study the menu? Order Solaris and don't worry. It will be satisfying, and inexpensive, and generally norms.
