Inexpensive and popular twins Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris of the Russian assembly Since 2011, a pond pond has accumulated in the secondary market. Is it worth a purchase?

When we tormented accelerated resource tests. One of the first St. Petersburg sedans Hyundai Solaris, salt attacks in the corrosion chamber of the body beat off successfully. Well, almost - with the exception of the roof with a zinc-protected roof made from Cherepovets cold-rolled steel.





So in everyday life: Rust does not touch Hyundai and Kia (illiterately renovated after the accident not counting), but it is better not to pull on the edge over the glass. Unpleasant exception Is that the fifth door of the SOLARIS hatchbacks. That was often painted already under warranty - the car over 2013 carefully you need to look at the surroundings of the larvae of the trunk lock (if there is some versions): the first paint is swept away.

Near the larvae of the castle on the doors of the trunk hatchbacks Solaris paint persistently does not want to hold onto the body

And in general, the paintwork of Kia and Hyundai (alas, traditionally) if it shines, not durability. Be careful: scratch the surface is easy even when cleaning in winter from snow. And the windshield ($ 250 dollars at the rate of 57 rubles per dollar) there with its tenderness - in order not to bring in just a couple of years before untidy losses, do not spare the washing fluid and do not save on the state of the brushes.





And do not be surprised if on a broken road from the bumper ... the fog light (50 dollars are original and from 20 substitutes): the ears of their fasteners are also not distinguished by durability. And from released until March 2012, Kia Rio can "threaten" and the hood - even the service campaign for the repair of adhesive loops has happened. The door opening limiters creak can defeat regular lubricants, and "incontinence" of their fixators after four or five years - replacement (15 dollars). At the same time, Kia may need a new trunk opening button (25 dollars): penetrating vagina's torn gum admires contacts.

Doors' limiters after five to six years cease to work as follows due to erased caproolone superstars

It happens, even plastic outdoor door handles are cracked! And with black "unthilled" at Hyundai (on $ 20), in addition, with active use in two or three years, the coating starts to be stuck, exposing ... Snow-white plastic base.

Black unpacked outdoor door handles with time rubbing to a white base

Search for track marks can also be continued in the cabin. Moreover, not only in the tissue upholstery of seats stretching depending on the set of seds in two or four years, and then capable of grinding with sprawling of seams. Covers, by the way, can be powered and electrical heating: its elements (70-100 dollars) were finalized at the end of 2014, and before three or four years old they threw the drapery and easily failed from local pressure. So keep in mind: Heavy load on the pillow is better not to put.





Hyundai without much effort breaks for air ducts. And in KIA and at all, you must certainly examine on the subject of cracks almost the entire front panel: the framing of deflectors and the buttons of the emergency, the climate block panels and the radio tape recorder are uncertain with strong temperature differences and changed more than once.

Less than the racks to scratches glossy plastic near the gearbox lever and on the central console

By the way, with the weather itself in the house, too, not everything is smooth: the ventilation system does not easily cope with its duties, and after a couple of hours of work on the whole coil in the heat, it may be completely deprived of the coolness due to the icing evaporator of the air conditioner. The heater's motor ($ 70 is original and twice as cheaper) often changed under warranty, and at the middle of the middle of 2015 after 80-90 thousand kilometers, in addition, the compressor itself may distort (400 dollars corporate and from 150 substitutes) with the failed coupling - Later in it began to use more alive bearing. But heated mirrors, on the contrary, too diligently: cracks of iced glasses (15 euros) when it is inclusive in a heavy frost is not uncommon.

Seat Upholstery Material Not Better Quality: Extralighted and Sleeping Already To Rights 40-50 thousand kilometers

We accounted for dealers of both brands for free to change the intake dashboards (400-500 dollars). Just do not rush to sin on all the tidy, if, without a blush light bulb, is lying the fuelomeomer: as a rule, it hangs the float of its sensor in the tank. And the copies of the older 2014 do not forget to check whether the "music" control buttons work on the Baranca (45 dollars each block) and whether the subwoofer is harmful, capable of turning on the turn signals instead of near-light light: all this farm also required Warranty replacements.

Solaris on the diesel engineer does not lead: the choice of KIA with Hyundai comes down to one of the two options for the working volume of gasoline aggregates of the GAMMA series. Motors G4Fa with a volume of 1.4 liters (a third of cars on the market) and G4FC with a volume of 1.6 liters both of the Chinese province of Shandong and similar in both the design and reliability are able to withstand at least 200-250 thousand kilometers. But after 120 thousand, the talessed chain (40 dollars) in the drive of the gas distribution mechanism is able to confuse the CVVT phase adjustment system. What is worse, she can jump on the tooths of stars - and the valves will know what to beat about the pistons. As the sad finale is also shining due to the fault of an unreliable chain tensioner (30 dollars) - do not forget to listen to the drive. Just do not confuse the chain's voice with the cecan of valves - the heat gap in their drive due to the lack of hydrocompensators is regulated by the selection of pushers.

The elder four-stage "automatic" is easier and more reliable than the freshest six-speed "\u003e

The G4FA and G4FC engines are built on the same cylinder block and differ, in particular, the crankshaft with an increase in 75 to 85.4 mm in the piston. The clearance in the valve mechanism needs to be checked every 90,000 kilometers and, if necessary, adjust the selection of pushers
Extremely four-stage "Automatic" easier and more reliable than the freshest six

At first, it was not distinguished by reliability and another automatic tensioner - in the drive of hinged equipment (90 dollars). The benefit of its weakness after 70-90 thousand kilometers does not threaten any serious nightingale trills from under the hood and accelerated drive belt. Re-implement, better protecting from dust and dirt, the node had twice - in 2013 and at the end of 2014.

Tremor and floating idle turns after 50,000 kilometers from Gamma-Motors are a sure sign of overlapping and needing throttle ($ 270). And if the engine continues to fever on medium-sized circulation, ask the former owner if the update of the firmware of the ECU did not care.

Due to savings on the seal, Motor compartments Kia and Hyundai quickly overgrow mud

Once in two or three years will need to wash off the dirt and the fluff of the radiators. But it happened, the overheating brought a kopeck weak wrench fixing the impeller of the cooling fan, to check whether the "propeller" dangles, it is necessary after 40-60 thousand kilometers. And the leakage of the intake path was turned around expensive cylinder coverings. After all, an aluminum block is a one-time, which does not provide for the boring in the repair size and therefore the changeable entirely (3000 dollars).

Competitive nozzles and the ignition system in a high-quality fuel will help avoid problems with the neutralizer. Individual coils (on the photo dismantled) usually serve 120-140 thousand kilometers

But a much stronger motor threatens the neutralizer attached to it. It does not differ in a large stamina reserve, and what happens that the ceramic cells will begin to crumble, and this "sand" makes the troubles in the cylinders. So think where it is safe to refuel, and follow (especially carefully after 100-120 thousand kilometers) for the health of injection and ignition systems. And if it suddenly starts to fall a craving or rattling when the gas pedal is pressed, do not hesitate with the replacement of the catcollector (780-1150 dollars).

And look after the leaks: the oil is not averse to leave the motors through the crankshaft seals. "Povers" after four to five years, the timing covers or the valve is also quite a common phenomenon: over time heels sealant. And if the vehicles with a motor 1.6 over 2012 to 120-130 thousand kilometers together with a drop in the level of antifreeze from the exhaust pipe will sweep a white loop - prepare a new cylinder head gasket (20 dollars) instead of the protected and add money to grinding the block head.






Brothers Solaris and Rio from those rare cars, which can be better preferred by the mechanical box. Running in a pair with a motor 1.6 A4CF1 quotes of 2005 sample leads a pedigree from ancient, the transmission times of Hyundai and Mitsubishi, the F4A41 aggregate of the nineties. The superstitions are still uneasy, but the unit is simple as five kopecks, has not yet been modernized and has long been overdone almost all kindergartens. From the remaining chronic ailments - shocks and delays in switching (due to which the guidelines even changed). Symptoms are exacerbated after 140-150 thousand kilometers through the fault of the solenoid blocking of the hydrotransformer (45 dollars), pressure adjustment (80 dollars) or valves (280 dollars).

But usually a overhaul with a bulking of the hydraulic block, the replacement of the bushings and the oil pump (230 dollars), the box begins to ask no earlier than 200-250 thousand kilometers. The main thing is not to buy every 60-70 thousand kilometers to update the Diamond SP III transmission oil (also from the Mitsubishi diet, ten dollars per liter) along with the filter.

And do not confuse: instances of the first years of production "Avtomat" may not wish to rise above the third stage only because of the unauthorized lever jump from the position "D" in "3". At first, the dealers even started changing selectors entirely, but quickly learned to simply clean the hole under the lock of the retainer.

Added in 2014 when restyling a six-speed box A6GF1 Sample 2009 in a pair with a 1.6 post engine. But its hydraulicock is more sensitive to overheating, and to the purity of oil - it is necessary to check its quality at least once every 30-40 thousand kilometers and change certainly at least than the four-step. To the mileage of 140-150 thousand kilometers it will be necessary to update gaskets and glands, and then you can wait for trouble with climbing ($ 180) and the clutch of the torque converter. And more parts of cars 2015 release, it is not lucky with this box: they were not those that need, right drive shafts (200 dollars). Pogreering drives then had to change the service campaign.

Anthers of the shrusov ($ 40 per set of original and from ten - substitutes) after 60-80 thousand kilometers can start riding lubricant with any of the transmissions.

After five to six years, do not forget to look at the state of the shruses (first of all external): cracks appear in the folds of rubber plastic anthers

But the "mechanics" itself ... in the five-speed box M5CF1 there is no special stock of strength. And if the younger engine 1.4 leaves her more chances to live to old age, then with a slaughter 1600-cubic box literally burns at work.

It happened, very young aggregates were accepted in elderly to scroll: the crankcase was turned around the bearing of the primary shaft. And remember our adventures with the bulkhead during the "resource"? In the gear, the clutches of the synchronizer and the blocking rings of the third stage were strongly caught up with gentle crowns. And the main weakness is a blocking ring of a third gear, where in an unknown science reason the designers used a wonderful and washing plastic coating of the friction surface. With normal operation, everything is often happening: hurt and rest when switching box can after a run of 120-140 thousand kilometers.

The problem was solved radically, changing the Motor 1.6 in the middle of 2014 a five-speed box to better cope with his character M6CF1. The troubles really became less, and from heritage - except that not the most endless release bearing ($ 30 corporate and from ten analogues) and periodically arising (usually not earlier than 100 thousand kilometers) the need to adjust the cable drive of the gear selection mechanism.

The reason for the crushing squeaks can be hidden in tape fasteners of plastic gas tank

The suspension was very too soft, and the most reverser is the first Solaris sedans (hatchbacks with a easier fillet part initially behaved decently). Since the end of 2011, the characteristics changed three times (information and) - as a result, the diameter of the bar has increased from the rear springs, and Mando shock absorbers made tougher. But on the suspension experience it did not affect. The rear shock absorbers (on 45 dollars, branded and from 25 for famous analogs) withstand their 70-80 thousand kilometers, and after, closer to 100 thousand, the front (100 and 50 dollars, respectively), are tired. Dorestayling cars older than 2014 at the same time with racks have to change and their slop plastic support bearings (eight dollars) - later their material has been changed to a more durable.

The rear suspension has let down the setting, and not reliability

Closer to the same first hundred, in bulk, the stabilizer bushings can be useful (ten dollars) and steering tips (25 dollars branded and five as analogs). And the cars are not older than 2015 - and better protected from the dirt rack of the stabilizer (30 and from eight dollars, respectively), which before it was twice as fast. At the same time, the ball supports of the front levers were frozen (only $ 55 per lever assembly), which began to worry the silent blocks with their resource 110-130 thousand kilometers. And the joints of the rear beam (50 dollars for the original silent block and three times less for the analog) are capable of touching up to 180-200 thousand kilometers. Just do not confuse the sounds and screenshots of the suspension sounds, publishing ... Walking on the irregularities of a gas tank! In 2015, even had to carry out service educational work with his fasteners.

Silent blocks of front suspension levers are confusing without difficulty

The hub bearings at first were completely consumable: the front (35 dollars original and from 15 analogs) dealers were often updated after 15-30 thousand kilometers. Yes, and the rear (55 and 35 dollars, respectively) served as a stronger longer. In 2013, their size was increased, and the protection against dirt was improved, in the amount of multiple the vitality. And keep in mind: In the backlave of the front wheel relative to the swivel fist in the early copies, the broken bearing is not always to blame - the reason can be wound only in the crushed exotic plastic washer between the drive and the hub. This product is designed to fight the noise that on European roads and does it, but it is simply flattened - the first help is able to have an elementary lift of the drive shaft fastening nut, and dealers within the service campaign, just in case, removed these washers.

This is a slug even on the type of plastic product - the reference bearing of the front rack

Many hassle first delivered steering. Warranty replaces of the knocking and current "rail" ($ 1150) began almost simultaneously with the start of sales of the cars themselves, and already in 2012 it was necessary to try the service campaign to repair the node specially designed remkomplekt with bushings and stops.





It was happening to the dealers to replenish their reserves of the hydraulic tank pumps (230 dollars), refusing 50-80 thousand kilometers, - before the flows or the hum of the harbinger of his imminent death can be ripple on the steering wheel. And if the pump or "Reika" turned out to be not in the affairs, the tight rotation of the ram or the knock was treated with the replacement of the steering shaft (100 dollars) due to the cardanchik in the articulation.

Fragile plastic shields in front of the rear wheels are easy to break

The exhaust struggle, which allowed almost to forget about the "steering" problems, was carried out on all fronts: In 2012, the rack of plastic became a rapidly broken, in 2014, the sleeve material was changed and the spool was changed. At the same time, the turn came to the shaft: a fixed cardan was replaced by telescopic, and a year later modernized and the steering column itself (250 dollars).

In 2014, Hyundai Solaris was updated: the headlights were sharpened, the branded hexagon was missing from the front, the radiator grille increased, and LEDs settled in the rear lights. And a year later, the coordinated Kia Rio is rejected, changing the fog with running lights, headlights and radiator grille

So it is better to take Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio after restyling, eliminating a lot of annoying trifles - not older than 2014 and 2015, respectively. In terms of reliability, these are similar to classmate Skoda Fabia - that is, there are enough questions to them, but serious little. Yes, and prices are just as attractive - from 380 thousand rubles.

Experts Autored about cars Hyundai Solaris or Kia Rio

On the course both sedan, Hyundai Solaris or Kia Rio with motors 1.6, equipped with "automata", buggy. With a sharp pressing on the accelerator, the engine "stuck" and the driver is deprived of the expected acceleration, which when overtaking can be not the most pleasant surprise. In the case of KIA, this was manifested once - at a speed of about 70 km / h, and Hyundai stumbled five or six times, but also like God to put on the soul: Calling "Zahuk" to order did not work.

KIA handling us liked a little more. The machine is resistant to the high-speed straight, irregularities of the road do not cause deviations from the trajectory even in turns, and the force on the steering wheel is always clear and informative. Among the roughness is that the lethargy of reactions at low speeds and their small, due to the compound tires Goodyear UltraGrip Extreme, generation.

With the same rear shock absorbers, like Rio, Solaris is clearly more reliable than with the same soft. But here's a riddle: in a broken turn, the rear axle is not-no and wilnet. It is no longer possible to call this effect, but Rio has it at all! In addition, Hyundai reacts sharper to ruts and irregularities on a straight line, and the steering wheel after KIA seems stubborn to feedback, especially in the okolonul zone.

Hyundai Solaris Sedan with a motor 1.6 and "mechanics" in May 2012 bought a new one - chose it because of the appearance and chains in the Timing drive, because there was no desire to change the belt twice in the year. After all, I go a lot: now the mileage passed for half a million kilometers!

Money for servicing from the official dealer decided not to spend - everything was possible independently, and the engine was changed in the engine strictly every 15 thousand kilometers.

The first 170 thousand kilometers did not need anything other than the oil, filters, candles and pads, but then noise appeared near the driving belt is hotter. With a mileage of 210 thousand kilometers, the hands came to change the tension roller, and the belt itself is later, by 240 thousand.

Next, 408,000 kilometers running the battery light bulb on the dashboard - removed the generator and, together with his father, he adjusted brushes from some old vacuum cleaner to him: they needed only a little straw to the desired size and solder instead of factory.

When the odometer has highlighted the beautiful 444 thousand, a buzz appeared from the rear right wheel - I pulled out a piston of a subfluous caliper and treated with a neuter-zero. When running 473 thousand kilometers, a mechanical gearbox seal was driving a clutch disk - I had to change it, but at the same time the oil in the box. For the first time, by the way, because, according to the service book, it is designed for the entire service life.

The next breakdown was a tougheled hub front left wheel bearing on a mileage of 492 thousand kilometers, after 509 thousand one of the ignition coils failed. And now, on the run of 525 thousand kilometers, I discovered a woven silent-block of the rear right shock absorber.

In the motor, I have never climbed so much: the oil level at the moment for 15 thousand kilometers is lowered from the maximum mark until the middle of the probe, that is, the tank is not needed. Even valve gaps have not yet demanded adjustments.

There were no problems with the steering "rail." But the Solaris road really keeps bad: it is very easy to rock even the wind, and it is uncomfortable to ride at high speeds.

Of course, with half a million mileage, I already think about changing the car. But at least Solaris did not fit me much, in the direction of the new, I do not look - because of its heavily rising prices. Although if indeed solaris in the minimum configuration it was possible to take 599 thousand rubles for "advertising" 599 thousand, chose it. And so - Renault Logan or Lada Priora.

That Rio that in Solaris, even with a slight blow to the front or back, many plastic elements are damaged: headlights, radiator grille, side fastenings of bumpers and much more. And nothing to restore nothing. And the body metal is very thin and prone to strain even from small pebbles. And regularly have to engage in additional noise insulation - most complaints about wheeled arches.

Chain from our most frequent guest, motor 1.6, in most cases does not cause problems up to 150 thousand kilometers. But the candles require a replacement every 15,000 mileage kilometers: a longer interval threatens the failure of the ignition coils.

If, with the replacement of oil and filter in a four-step "automatic", any more or less sleeve car enthusiast (the most difficult thing is to unscrew the pallet), then you need to maintain a six-step in the workshop. Fully, including a hydrotransformer, refuse oil only with a special apparatus, method of displacement.

Depending on the operating conditions, the steering "Rake" can be frowning and after 50 thousand kilometers, and to its price with the installation will have to decompose and the cost of the gathering-collapse.

But for the problem of the routing of the body, we found an unexpected solution. Once, when replacing the rear shock absorbers, they discovered the bucked turn at one of the springs. The client, in addition, complained about insufficient ground clearance, especially with full load. Springs in diameter turned out to be similar to those that are installed on the VAZ-2109. Cutting the coils, picked up the optimal ratio of height and load - and even with a large amount of Solaris cargo with the nine spruses behaves better.

Due to its popularity Rio and Solaris hijacious. They are stuck both for disassembly and sales in parts and "under documents" - in order to make the so-called twin and sell on the secondary market. Therefore, it is necessary to check it extremely seriously.

The body number (it is also a VIN-number) from both cars is under the front passenger seat: a rectangular opening is cut into the carpet flooring, where covered seventeen marks are visible. Such a number location is extremely inconvenient to check and significantly facilitates the work with hijackers, which most often change the entire number panel - an amplifier that is fixed with one side to the threshold, and the other side to the central tunnel. There should be per capita wrappers on the passenger seat mounting bolts (although it could be removed for some kind of repair or installation of additional noise insulation).

And in order to fully check the body number, it is required to remove the threshold overlay, lift the floor covering and inspect the entire part and the location of its mounting to the adjacent panels. In addition to the polymer labeling plate, located on the central desk from the driver, do not be lazy to verify the engine number with the data in the TCP. It is applied to the block of cylinders, and the mirror and flashlight will be needed for inspection.

Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio in the secondary market one of the most liquid cars, and the number of offers only in Moscow and the Moscow region more than two thousand. Sedans are noticeably in demand than hatchbacks. And it is even curious that more than a third of all cars on the market are gray or silver.

It is such a gray hatchback that we found for the authored. Moreover, the type of body played us on the arm, as the five -roads are practically not used in taxis and are more often bought by a female audience. Here, our Hyundai Solaris 2011 release with a more popular engine 1.6 and a manual box was just from this category. Despite the year of release, the mileage is only 51 thousand kilometers. For all the time, he never was in an accident, although the only disadvantage is just a small interference on the body - subsequently we hope to help out 400 thousand rubles for this car.

By the way, copies cheaper than this threshold were almost shortly used in a taxi, they have a dubious story or participated in an accident. There were cases when even famous official salons implemented cars from a taxi under the guise of cars from private owners. And so the main problems when choosing and buying Solaris and Rio - a large number of dealers and a lot of cars "Chess" after poor-quality repairs, with not falling in the color of the body with painted elements.

Compare Cars Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio are not easy enough - after all, they look like, as if twins, have almost the same characteristics. Show which one is better and what should I buy, can only time. And since they were released in the same period and not so long ago, so far it is too early to talk about checking time. Therefore, answer the question of Kia Rio or Hyundai Solaris is quite difficult.

Fans of compared Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris resorted to various tricks in order to prove the superiority of their favorite model and became very interested in the theme "Kia Rio against Hyundai Solaris."

So, in this article I will spend the most detailed and objective comparison to answer which car is still better - Kia Rio or Hyundai Solaris.

Appearance

Conduct comparing analysis is quite difficult. After all, Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris, as already noted above, extremely similar. So put between the sign of the confrontation "VS" between them is a real blasphemy. But still it is worth determining which one is better, therefore the designation "Kia Rio VS Hyundai Solaris" in this article will be appropriate. For greater understanding, we recommend you to familiarize yourself with that we wrote about before.

Compare Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris can, first of all, in appearance. The flowing and smooth design of Hyundai Solaris produces a very good impression. The car looks very elegant, there are no sharp accents in it that would have rushed into the eyes. The car has a clearance of 16 centimeters. This will appreciate the lovers of an extreme ride. Hyundai Solaris is equipped with a linated optics, art strokes in the form of a planed form.

As for Kia Rio, the opinion of specialists is: the Kia Rio car is created with European taste. But it is perfect for movement and on Russian roads. Kia Rio has the same high lumen as Hyundai Solaris. But the battery has a big power. And the washer of the glass is designed for 4 liters. So here the "VS" sign can already be put. Kia Rio got a lattice with a decoration made of gloss and chromium, decorative inserts on the front wings, the bend is much clearer. This car is European, but with severe Asian roots. So better Kia Rio or Hyundai Solaris?

Body and equipment

Hatchback is better at Hyundai Solaris. This car is represented not only by four door sedan, but also hatchback. So Hyundai Solaris 2015 will like those who love a large and spacious interior.

Comparison of Kia Rio in this regard does not win. The Kia Rio car has not yet has such advantages, but it is only temporary. Because the company planned the release of hatchbacks in the near future.

Solaris with Rio have a lot in common. And Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio have 4 configurations, identical engines, gearboxes.

Hyundai Solaris configuration

  1. "Classic". This equipment creates an ambiguous impression. It has airbags, chairs with the possibility of adjustment, electronic windows and many other little things. But there is no audio system. Whether they simply forgot about it, whether they decided that this was not the most necessary element for a comfortable interior organization. Buyers will have to pay extra and for installation of the air conditioner, the automatic box. The mirrors, by the way, are also not equipped with heating.
  2. "Optima". This package is practically no different from the previous one. It only added air conditioning and some little things that are absolutely not needed. But the audio system is not.
  3. "Comfort". It adds the ability to manage the central lock using the folding key.
  4. "Femili". This package will like those who want to control the phone using the buttons on the steering wheel.

Approximately the same set of options is also available in Kia Rio in the same configurations. But still there are many differences. The basic model at Kia Rio will be better than Hyundai Solaris. Since it is equipped just like the "Comfort" model at Solaris. Therefore, in the confrontation in the confrontation of "Solaris or Kia Rio", Kia Rio is defeated.

disadvantages

Like Hyundai Solaris, and Kia Rio has its drawbacks. This is primarily a small side support for the driver, an insufficient number of space in the back row. Other representatives of the inexpensive segment of cars and then have more space for the feet of passengers.

The backlight has different cars. In Solaris, she is a poisonous blue, so affects the driver literally sliding. Kia is bright. When the engine is activated by pressing "Start", the speedometer arrow runs all the way from zero to the greatest value. She seems to show what is capable of.

There is no choice here, you have to put pressure on gas. The combination of devices at Hyundai and Kia are completely different. Hyundai has a classic and boring panel. Kia has a bright panel with a noticeable well, the speedometer and the "bleaks" in the middle, to which values \u200b\u200bfrom the flightcomputer are derived.

"If we talk about materials, then Hyundai looks better here. Despite the fact that plastic in the salons of both models is the same, on the four - in the salon Solyaris there is something to cling to the look. The front panel has more expressive textures, chrome inserts. Kia has more comfortable "piano" keys. Both models are equipped with welcome for many motorists with a helical heating button. In winter, it is invaluable. Both models have heated front seats and windshield, climate control system. "

It is almost impossible to determine the machine in the commercial sphere. The mileage can be twisted, and the appearance and the interior will be in good condition. This is a practical and quite presentable modern sedan who received not only thousands of shopping, but also as much laudatory reviews. Therefore, its preservation even after serious exploitation turns out to be a completely natural aspect when selling.

Today, buyers of used cars are more interested in a greater degree of car price, as well as the features of its choice. We will talk directly about the project Hyundai Solaris, let's call the main possible problems of the machine and the places that need to be inspected more carefully. We will also look at the technical aspects of the purchase of Solaris and the main diagnostic services that are better to order. It will help you choose a car that was in family operation and really can serve you for many years. Given the rather high quality of the car itself, there is no doubt that the optimal version will be found on the market. Also note that today it is one of the most popular cars in the secondary and primary market of Russia. It also has competition, and we will talk about this at the end of this publication.

What represents Hyundai Solaris - is it worth taking?

There are many cars that do not justify their expectations. For many buyers, this is domestic transport. Therefore, when the market appears in the market of freight origin for small money, in Russia, they are guaranteed success. So it happened to Solaris, which became an updated ACCENT version specifically for the Russian market. And let the assembly produce from us, the car is characterized by such parameters:

  • excellent technical capabilities, very high quality assembly and pretty high-quality materials in the interior, good metal and excellent body painting at the factory;
  • korean motors who are not going to Russia, two engines by 107 and 123 horsepower with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, quite presentable power units;
  • excellent configuration, availability of automatic transmissions, climatic installation, convenient additions to basic equipment, good equipment for your money;
  • beautiful appearance, modern and beautiful, which also creates advantages for the car in its competitive environment, in the cabin is also very gray and beautiful;
  • in the operation of Hyundai Solaris, it is difficult to find problems, in most cases the machine demonstrates itself as very confident and reliable transport for any roads.

The only minus, which is often called the owners of the car, is low ground clearance. But this problem is solved if you do not go to the car on the rough terrain. On city roads and intercity tracks, the car rides very confidently. There is no doubt that you buy a really worthy version of the technique at a democratic price. There are no tangible flaws in the car's design.

What to watch when buying Hyundai Solaris used?

Buying a used car is a rather difficult task for which there is always a number of recommendations. Among the main tips is the body check. Be sure to use the thickness gauge to check the poor-quality painting and search for screaming places. If it is the door or the lid of the trunk, there is nothing terrible in this - just a petty accident. If the hood and wings are painted, it is worth checking more seriously. There are also other recommendations for checking the car before purchase:

  • pay attention to the engine work, with a large mileage of the power unit will be quite noisy, it will be heard in the cabin, and it will not show the ideal on the diagnosis;
  • the operation of the automatic type gearbox causes certain problems, so before purchase, a detailed diagnosis of this expensive node must be carried out;
  • suspension and other details can be checked for serious damage, it is done only to reduce the price of the machine and reasons to bargain with the owner of Hyundai;
  • be sure to inspect the salon, look for traces of excessively active operation, as well as cosmetic flaws - eliminate them in the future will be quite difficult and expensive;
  • another point is to try to test the originality of the run, since the success of the car's purchase, the intensity of its repair in the future completely depends on this.

After examining these details, you can say with confidence that you choose a decent Solaris. Among the models presented on the secondary market can be found hundreds of options after an accident with poor recovery. Note that such Hyundai will not serve you for a long time and without problems. It took part in his recovery, not the most professional services, welding, painting and assembly will not be as high quality as from the factory.

Choosing an option and assessment of the cost of Hyundai when buying

Regarding the choice of configuration, you must answer for yourself several important issues. Experts recommend buying a more reliable and less whimsical engine for 1.6 liters and 123 horses. Junior unit delivers more problems. Also do not recommend buying an automatic machine on the used market, as you do not know the history of its service. By the configuration it is worth taking the one that will be pleasant for you, it is better not to make it an important criterion for choice. Regarding prices should be noted such patterns:

  • 2011 release cars - the earliest, which can be taken in the secondary market, but their cost exceeds 400,000 rubles, and they are difficult to call the best purchase;
  • you should add an amount of up to 450,000 rubles and watch representatives of 2013-2014 issues, which in the market a huge amount, newer cars are too expensive;
  • on the secondary market there are practically no difference between cars with an engine 1.6 and 1.4 liters in price, so we recommend to look at more powerful options with the stock of forces;
  • for the price, the machine can even be cheaper versions with mechanics, since the demand for a manual box is much higher, be careful when diagnosing the machine before purchasing;
  • the most recent representatives after restyling 2016 are less than 500,000 rubles, and for the new Solaris in the cabin are asked from 550,000, so it is better to buy a new car.

As you can see, the cost of this Korean sedan does not fall over time. The machines received excellent specifications and can be operated for a very long time. Even when run 150-200 thousand kilometers there is a chance to extend the use of the machine for a long time. In most situations, such a purchase will bring pleasure and benefit themselves. But the choice and diagnostics should be carried out qualitatively.

What competitors should be considered in the secondary market?

Hyundai Solaris is enough for competitors, as the machine belongs to the most popular class in Russia. To evaluate the competition, we will take the 2014 release rate, the cost in the area of \u200b\u200b400,000 rubles and the same technical parameters as in Solaris. If you carefully examine the market, you can find a considerable number of rivals in this price range:

  1. Chevrolet.Cobalt. - more presentable in appearance car, which has a good technique under the hood. The machine has already left the Russian market, and this is its main drawback, since it may be a problem in the future.
  2. Volkswagen.Polo.Sedan. - A very worthy opponent who received a good German power plant and many positive feedback. The machine demonstrates stamina and even more interesting practicality in operation.
  3. Nissan.Almera. - Another pretty popular market representative, a large and comfortable car with a good accommodation and a comfortable trip. The machine received a good complete set and only a few small deficiencies in operation.
  4. Kia.Rio. - In fact, the same car as Hyundai Solaris, but only with another design. The machine has those most motors, identical configurations and rather attractive appearance than can win buyers from Hyundai.
  5. Renault.Logan. - Just in 2014, active sales of a new car generation began. The Frenchman has several advantages in comparison with all competitors, but the manufacturability and modernity of the machine are lagging behind the main rivals.

Such interesting rivals have Hyundai in the secondary market. This competitors surround cars and on the new car market, except Cobalt. It is worth adding here to Skoda Rapid, Daewoo Gentra and a number of Chinese cars with more interesting equipment and with the same value. You can consider the market filled, but the sale of Hyundai remain beautiful, which speaks of high quality cars. See Recommendations for the purchase of Auto Hyundai Solaris on video:

Let's sum up

There are many ways to choose a car in the secondary market. But it is best to give preference to that typewriter that really likes. This is the easiest way to enjoy your purchase. Hyundai Solaris likes many potential buyers. This machine really has a big list of advantages and is one of the leader of its class. Many buyers leave exclusively positive feedback and talk about the real advantages of the car, proving their words photos and operating reports. With proper maintenance, the Korean sedan does not need expensive repair.

The machine is not only on the market in its class, there is a lot of competitors around. It is also worth remembering that the success of the operation of the car depends more than a high-quality choice. If the selection is not the most successful, you will have to come to terms with the fact that your car will constantly break. You can easily buy a typewriter after a taxi than to determine the constant need to repair and replace certain parts. In the secondary car market in Russia, you have to look at both so as not to lose a large amount of money, so be careful. What version of Solaris would you buy for our own exploitation?

In a modern metropolis or remote settlement, the car is not a luxury, but a necessary means of movement. Choosing a car, you have to re-read the literature, visit the salons and revise many reviews. And so, when the choice seems completely obvious, weighing everything for and against, there are two options that are very similar, and at the same time they have their own character. So comparing Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris models. The appearance of these models has some similarities, but what are they similar in terms of technical characteristics?

Kia Rio.

Kia Rio is a successful representative of small class Korean production KiaMotors. By declaring itself in 2000, the company managed to present three generations of cars. The first generation was produced in two variations - sedan and wagon. The last type of body was a kind of mixture of hatchback and wagon.

The Korean manufacturer decided not to stop on the achieved and make the design of the car better. 2003 marked the changes for Kia Rio. The size of the front headlights increased significantly and became more expressive. Specialists of the company managed to reduce the level of noise in the hood area, the rear shelf and the roof.

The second generation appeared at the end of 2005. Serious updates expected Kiario fans already in 2010. Creative tandem of the company and the German specialist in the design of Car Petaire Schraira presented the world an updated machine design. The changes affected not only the external (update of the radiator grille, the front and rear bumper), but also inside the cabin. At the same time, the Korean manufacturer updated the Kia Rio color gamut with accurate names.

Regarding engines, the company offered one diesel and two gasoline engines. The choice is provided by a gasoline engine with a volume of 1.4 or 1.6 liters with an automatic transmission (four-step) or mechanical (five-speed).

After a short time, in March 2011, the third generation of Kia Rio was presented in Geneva. A little later, the models of the European-American and Chinese version were presented. In August 2011, the world was presented with a car model that is ideally adapted for the Russian market.

Qia Rio Third Generation

The company every year produces cars with two types of body: sedan and hatchback, every update is better than satisfying customer desires. Kia Rio 2014 is significantly different from its predecessors: besides two new color solutions, the model is equipped with a six-speed gearbox.

Kia Rio is a representative of the class "in" compact cars. Competition is made up by VW Polo Sedan, Hyundai Solaris and Renault Logan / Sandero.

The Chinese version was modified so that the car is better approached for the climatic and road conditions of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and other countries. Manufacturers are positioning this car as an ideal solution for market features of the CIS. Changes are noticeable in appearance - the car has acquired a sports and dynamic look, it feels the style of rapid lines. The main feature is a completely modified body, an absolutely new engine with a volume of 1.6 and 1.4 liters. The 1,4-volume engine is 100 km away with 5.8 liters of fuel, and a 1,6-liter is 7.7 liters. Diesel equipment against gasoline is noticeably more profitable, the consumption of its fuel is 100 km about 5.7 liters.

The main technical feature of these engines is an advanced SIO VT gas distribution system and gas distribution chain drive, which significantly saves motorists' cash during the passage of scheduled maintenance.

A good advantage of the car is a spacious trunk of 500 liters - it is much more than the luggage branch of its main competitor Hyundai Solaris. Traditional for Korean cars remains a full-size spare. In addition, the side has an attachment for a canister or suitable in size drawers with tools.

The main optics changed dramatically, the new concept of the manufacturer influenced the change in the radiator lattice (the "Tiger smile").

Kia Rio is equipped with a startup system button, which allows you to start a car without a key. Changed in the new modification and the interior - the wheelbase has become more than 70 mm, therefore, the salon has become more spacious, the seat is adjustable in almost all directions, the steering wheel is adjusted in height. Basic equipment provides built-in air conditioning. Auditizationport, unfortunately, is not installed, but there is an audio preparation and 4 dynamics, which is better reflected on the sound of sound.

The instrument panel is slightly sporty style: tachometer, speedometer and fuel sensors. Glasses of New Kia Rio have a factory tint, they skip at least 70% of light, and on the windshield there is a light-protective strip.

The model has become completed with an updated four-stage automatic box and a five-speed mechanic. In the car applied new suspensions. Front traditional Macpherson suspension, rear is installed torsion beam. Improvements touched and sound insulation: noise in the car has become much smaller, which increases comfort when moving the driver and passengers in the cabin. Accent when updating was made on security. Now the car is equipped with 6 curtains and airbags.

The choice of the buyer provided 4 configuration of the car:

  • Comfort,
  • Luxury
  • Prestige,
  • Premium.

Hyundai Solaris.

South Korean company Hyundai Motor in late 2010 presented his new brainchild - subcompact car Hyundai Solaris . Tightly entrusted in the market, Solaris has been changed over four years and has become much better. Hyundai Solaris is the version of the Fourth Generation ACCENT model, adapted to the CIS customer requirements. In 2014, the model was recognized as "Car of the Year 2014", as evidenced by sales.

Along with spectacular appearance, Solaris has a good capacity and economy. When creating this model, manufacturers have learned the harsh climate of the inhabitants of the CIS. Solaris has a bright and fashionable design, characterized by a taste:

  • flowing hull lines
  • head optics in the form of eagle eyes,
  • unique L-shaped headlamps against fog.

Solaris fuel consumption is only 5.4 l / 100 km for 1.4 L engine volume, for a 1.6 L motor - does not exceed 6.9 liters per 100 km. Both configuration correspond to the EURO environmental standard 4. The trunk, a capacity of 465 liters, is equipped with velcro for fastening the canister with liquid and tools. Under the floor of the trunk can be easily placed.

Comparison Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris

In the domestic car market, Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris are preferential place. Having the same platform, the Korean production models compete and enjoy successful demand. Democratic price seems quite fair for such characteristics and appearance.

Externally, cars are not particularly different - Solaris demonstrates some dynamism and audacity, while Rio tends to restrave and solidity. Salon's designers did not praise and showed fantasy. Kia Rio Salon more reminds the interior of European cars, and Hyundai Solaris has more similarities with Korean cars.

Taking care of safety and comfort, manufacturers equipped with automotive cars. However, if in a hurry you need to quickly leave the car, then in Kia Rio, for this case, it is enough to click on the door handle. Hyundai will also ask first to remove the lock.

Car power - 123 horsepower. Fuel consumption at Solaris is less than 6.9 liters against 7.7 at Rio. The volume of the trunk at Kia Rio is 500 l against 465 liters at its competitor.

By comparing the prices of the packages, Hyundai Solaris will seem more affordable car of this class, moreover, a number of options more clearly meets the requirements of the modern motorist. Kia Rio gives the impression of a solid and a comfortable car with a more thoughtful design inside.

Despite the similar prices and appearance, the buyer himself chooses that he is better - Rio or Solaris. After all, personal preferences will be influenced to the choice, design and operating conditions.

I want to wish motorists of the right decisions and a safe ride!

The choice of a car in a budget class is often reduced to several Korean proposals. Today, the most bright and fairly available options for steel Kia Rail and Hyundai Solaris are in the market. In this year, both cars have undergone certain changes, which has become the basis for their attractiveness. Despite noticeable updates, cars remained in their pleasant price grade and did not become chasing the prices of competitors.

Determine what is better - Kia Rio or Hyundai Solaris - will be quite difficult. Each car has its own specific advantages, but also with a detailed study you can find minuses. We are talking about cars in a budget class, to expect perfect work from them in all aspects.

Kia Rio - more Korea and a noticeable sophistication design

Traditionally it is believed that KIA cars have much less localization of spare parts production than Hyundai. In fact, today both competitors in this class of budget sedan are produced at one plant in St. Petersburg and have the same assembly line equipment. The aggregates are assigned from Korea.

Russian assembly has long ceased to scare buyers. It turned out to be quite presentable and reliable, because production has Korean equipment with a significant automation of the car manufacturing process. Specify certain distinguishing benefits of KIA Rio:

  • unusual appearance, attractive characteristics of the exterior and salon;
  • significantly better high-quality plastics in the finishing of the inside of the car;
  • good engines that have been updated from June 1, 2014;
  • technological and not too complicated in the repair of the gearbox;
  • comfortable suspension for not too high-quality roads with full adaptation to the conditions.

One of the important advantages of Kia Rio, as well as any other model in the company's proposal, was the adaptation of almost every country in which sales go. This guarantees certain benefits for the buyer. The aggregates will have a large resource, and the service will not bring significant financial costs.

But there is Kia Rio and certain cons. As a basis for all CIS countries, a car was taken with Chinese registration - Kia K2. In this car, there was not much attention to quality, because Kia Rio owners constantly complain to the work of wiring, on the inadequate behavior of the climate installation and so on.

Hyundai Solyaris - Isolated Russian Bestseller version Accent

In 2011, a Korean budget sedan appeared on the Russian market with a new name - Hyundai Solaris. In most other countries where this car is sold, it is the former name of the line - Accent. But the Russian version is distinguished not only by the title. There are certain alterations in terms of chassis, other engine characteristics, adaptation to extreme operating conditions. And all these features can be written into the asset model.

Among the main advantages can be allocated authentic, but a fairly simple design, which you expect from the budget model. Also among the advantages of the car, the following characteristics are distinguished:

  • beautiful layout of the inner space, despite the middle class of plastic;
  • high ergonomics and travel comfort on any road;
  • excellent reliability of suspension, engines and gearboxes;
  • good fuel consumption and inexpensive service.

All of these features allow you to see the superiority of Hyundai Solaris over the brother in the country of origin Kia Rio. Many Hyundai reviews also talk about the considerable advantages of the car in other spheres. For example, during the warranty, only some car owners refer to the requirement of free replacement of parts or aggregates. It speaks of high quality and quite good assembly.

Video:

It was possible to talk about the minuses of Hyundai Solaris until 2014. Model update in the current season made the car even more reliable. Korean engineers are distinguished by the fact that they work on customer reviews, eliminating real problems and children's diseases of the machine. Therefore, with each update, we get more capable technique.

Cost and technological features of Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris

To determine which car is better to purchase, the configuration, prices and other features that are important for each buyer of the new car in our time should be studied. Given the fact that Hyundai and Kia are incredibly close in a competitive row, their study should be thorough.

Hyundai Solaris in the body of a sedan in the basic configuration will cost the buyer in 473,900 rubles. For this money, the buyer will receive a 1.4-liter gasoline atmospheric engine, a manual transmission, as well as the following features of the configuration:

  • basic airbag set, ABS with simple characteristics;
  • a good set of driver seats and steering column settings;
  • easy tinting of the cabin glasses;
  • steering amplifier and front electric windows;
  • road clearance of 160 mm is increased specifically for Solaris models.

You won't call the rich package, but also the money is asked for her not so big. Kia Rio in the basic configuration will cost the buyer of 495 thousand rubles. This is 21 thousand more competitor. In the asset model, the same 1.4-liter engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Name at least one function Kia Rio, whom it would not be possible for a competitor. Basic versions are identical configuration. Therefore, you pay 21 thousand just for buying Kia, not Hyundai.

Let's sum up

Pay money is just for the name - not too interesting lesson in the conditions of the current competition in the car market. That is why the purchases of Kia Rio may not be as profitable as the acquisition of the nearest competitor and the compatriot - Hyundai Solaris. When choosing between two these offers, the majority preferences exactly the last option.

Nevertheless, many are ready to overpay this amount to get a car with favorite appearance. Because Kia Rio is also a buying budget sedan with a fairly good prospects on the market.
