Hyundai Solaris:
The Hyundai Accent , or Hyundai Verna is a subcompact car produced by Hyundai. In Australia, the first generation models carried over the Hyundai Excel name used by the Accent's predecessor.

The Accent is produced for the Chinese market by Beijing Hyundai Co. , a joint venture with Beijing Automotive Industry Corp. For the Russian market it was assembled by the TagAZ plant in Taganrog until 2011, and since 2011 it was assembled by the HMMR plant in Saint Petersburg and sold under the new name Hyundai Solaris. In Mexico, the Accent was marketed until 2014 by Chrysler as the Dodge Attitude, previously known as the Verna by Dodge. In Venezuela, Chrysler marketed these models as the Dodge Brisa until 2006.

II Sedan Overview:
Hyundai Solaris (II Sedan). With 132 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~8.5 l/100km). Weighing only 1182 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12.9 s). The top speed reaches 183 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
1.4 MPI (100 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The least powerful and slowest option, offering adequate performance for city driving but feeling strained on highways and during overtakes.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy of 6.4 l/100 km is acceptable for an automatic, though slightly higher than its manual counterpart and the 1.6L auto.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Excellent fuel economy on 1.4L manual trim
- • Proven reliability and low maintenance costs
- • Spacious interior and large trunk for its class
- • Good value for money with competitive pricing
- • Comfortable ride quality for daily commuting
Cons:
- • Performance can be uninspiring, especially with 1.4L automatic
- • Interior materials are functional but lack a premium feel
- • Limited advanced safety and tech features compared to rivals
- • Engine noise can be noticeable at higher RPMs
- • Basic styling might not appeal to all buyers
