Start of sales in Russia
The presentation of the new product was a great success, so the release date in Russia set for the last quarter of 2018 will not be adjusted in the future.
For about 10 years, the Korean automaker Hyundai has been successfully expanding its position in the Russian market. Our country is one of the five key countries for Hyundai Motor Company car markets of the world. In the fall of 2015, as part of the All-Russian dealer conference, Hyundai Motor officially announced a list of its new models that will appear in the Russian Federation in 2017. It was about new Equus, Elantra and compact crossover Creta, the production of which will be launched by the St. Petersburg automobile plant Hyundai. 
Also among the new generation models is Solaris, which is not just popular, but the most purchased by Russians. And although its second generation has already been presented to fans, Hyundai company Motor CIS, the official importer and distributor of the brand in Russia, is in no hurry to share all the details about the new product. Certain details have not been disclosed, and the incoming data is somewhat contradictory.
Note. In China and India, the model is known only as Verna. In some other markets - Accent.
Analysis of the available information allows us to draw up the following description of the new Hyundai Solaris in the 2017 version, some photos of which have already been leaked to the network.
Exterior
Exterior changes partially affected:
- body outlines. The lines of the window sills and roof have retained their former elegance. The geometry of the side doors has acquired some roundness and softness, making the overall image of the C+ class sedan more friendly and pleasant.
- radiator grilles. Most likely, the false grille will be inscribed in a stylized hexagon front bumper. It will have 2 (or one) chrome strips with a large Hyundai logo. Above them, the hood ridge is pushed forward slightly. In the 2017 generation Hyundai Solaris model, the new body shown in the photo looks more presentable and modern.
- front bumper. It appears more massive thanks to the extended air intake grille.
- rear bumper that looks more voluminous. An exhaust nozzle is hidden under it, which allows the rear of the car to look more stylish.
- car optics.
The successful design of the headlights in the form of a stylized rectangle is perfectly complemented by the lower tier running lights and fog lights (optional). The optical elements of the front part, thanks to the smoothness of the lines, harmoniously fit into the overall stylistic concept of the exterior. Even the basic content of the Hyundai Solaris of the new 2017 model includes halogen elements in the optics. Appeared led lights, duplicating turns, on the exterior mirror housing. Modified rear lights added side lights and fog lights mounted in the bumper. Please note. Additional option"light" provides running lights with LEDs and installation of fog lights. Maximum configurations also include LED tail lights.
Hyundai Solaris in a new body was shown on February 6, 2017, and production started a couple of months earlier. As you can see from the photo, the sedan has noticeably become prettier and increased in size: length-width- wheelbase grew by 3 cm. A new 1.4 liter engine with a power of 99.7 hp appeared. which will save on transport tax. According to Hyundai, Russian Solaris adapted to cold climates and bad roads.

Also judging by photo Hyundai Solaris 2018 in the new body is externally distinguished by a large trapezoidal radiator grille, different bumpers, narrowed headlights equipped with LED elements, rear lights with LEDs and a completely modified rear pillar.
The interior of the new product has been completely redesigned: there is new steering wheel, starting the engine from a button became available, and an 8-inch multimedia complex with support for mobile interfaces from Apple and Google appeared. In general, the interior is similar to the style of the new generation Elantra. Of course, most of these options are available only on top trim levels.

Specifications
The second generation Hyundai Solaris has grown noticeably in size: the length has increased by 30 mm and is 4405 mm, width by 29 mm ( 1729 mm), the wheelbase has also increased by 30 mm and reaches 2600 mm. But the height of the car, on the contrary, decreased by 1 mm to 1469 mm. The weight of the sedan varies within 1150-1182 kg for engine 1.4 and 1160-1198 kg for 1.6 liter engine. As you can see, installing an automatic transmission adds 32-38 kg to the weight.
In terms of technical characteristics, the new generation in the field of power plant has also undergone changes: although the displacement of the engines remains the same: 1.4 And 1.6 , but their power has been reduced. So the 1.4 engine (new) with the Hyundai G4LC index was derated from 107 to 99.7 hp, most likely this was done to get the sedan into the preferential zone transport tax. But the power of the modernized 1.6 liter engine with the G4FG index has not changed: 123 hp Both power plants can run on 92 gasoline and higher. The maximum torque for the junior engine is 132 Nm at 4000 rpm, for senior 151 Nm, however, this value is achieved quite high speed at 4850.
The trunk volume has increased by 10 liters and is 480 liters.
Another innovation: with any engine, only six-speed gearbox: both mechanical and automatic. No more archaic four-speed automatics like the previous generation.
The changes also affected the suspension: the rear now stands semi-independent of Elantra(it’s also found on front-wheel drive Cretas), which should have a positive effect on handling. The hydraulic booster was replaced electric knot, rear brakes all the same drums, though only in initial configurations.

After all, the manufacturer did everything he could for this. They increased the wheelbase and body width. The designers made every effort to create a magnificent interior and exterior budget sedan.
If the model is already being sold in China, then in our country test production of the new generation Solaris started in December 2016 at the Korean concern’s plant in St. Petersburg. Full assembly of the Russian Hyundai Solaris 2017 will begin in January, and the start of sales is scheduled for the end of winter or beginning of spring.

After all, for example, for Indian market An interior with light inserts will be offered. IN expensive trim levels a standard 7-inch touchscreen monitor of the multimedia system will appear. In mid-range trims, the center console will feature a small monochrome stereo screen. By the way, an electric sunroof is provided for the Chinese market; whether such an option will appear in our country is still unknown.

Technical characteristics of Hyundai Solaris 2017
There are probably the fewest changes in the technical part, although for the Russian market they proposed modernized engines. Unless, of course, you count the new, more durable and rigid body, which should solve the problem with passive safety.
The power units are the well-known 1.4 and 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engines assembled in China. Special problems 4-cylinder 16 valve units with chain drive The timing belt and variable valve timing system (on the intake shaft) were not supplied. New engines of the same volume received a double variable valve timing system and changed their power. Now the 1.4 liter engine produces only 99.7 Horse power, with a torque of 132.4 Nm. The 1.6 liter unit, in addition to the dual phase change system, also received intake manifold variable length. But the power remained virtually unchanged - 123 hp. at 150.7 Nm of torque.
Regarding the transmission for Solaris, the manufacturer decided to abandon the 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. Now all engines will be paired with only 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
The chassis, of course, has undergone reconfiguration due to the new body, but the main parameters have been preserved. Steering rack type(electric power assisted), full disc brakes, front independent suspension, semi-independent at the rear. Perhaps surprises can be expected in the expanded list electronic systems and assistants. For example, an electronic stabilization system will already be available in the database.
