Review the description of the characteristics and the configuration of the "Hyundai Solaris"

Surprisingly, the state that is quite far from the post-Soviet realities, are able to create machines for specific Russian roads. Talking about Korea and her firm Hyundai. It all started with the fact that the Soviet market broke Accent, then came Getz, and now all the stereotypes about the budget class destroys Solaris which was produced at the new Hyundai plant near St. Petersburg. This model quickly became the leader of the Russian market and even walked around then Sasovskogo flagship – the Lada Granta.

In 2010, when first started talking about this model, Koreans are slightly cunning, saying that it is specially designed for CIS. In fact, “Solaris” produced the same for all exporting countries, except that everywhere except in Russia and China, it is called “Accent”. In China, the machine name is Verna. It just so happened that the model had an excellent fit for the requirements of a potential buyer and harsh roads in Russia live their lives.

Erasing the budget class

Hyundai has managed to prove that a budget car doesn't have to be boring and dull. Looking at the prices and specifications of new “Hyundai Solaris” you can see this. Of course, in the model there are some contradictions, but they absolutely do not spoil her reputation. On the background of "classmates" the car looks downright luxurious. Acquainted with the machine, many are willing to pay more for it than specified in the price list. KIA Rio, which rolled off the Assembly line later, our hero, looks good, but does not cause such storm of emotions. At least in the base set «Hyundai Solaris” not much surpassed Rio in terms of equipment. Its design is clearly a breakthrough for the budget class.
