The Solaris is a global car that is known in other markets as the Hyundai Accent, Verna or i25.
Hyundai main market:
- Korea (domestic Korean market, produced there) - sold as Accent;
- China (produced there) - sold as Verna;
- North America (USA, Canada, imported from Korea) - sold as Accent;
- Russia (manufactured in St. Petersburg) - sold as Solaris;
- CIS countries (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, etc., imported from Russia) - sold under the name Accent.
In all markets, the car is basically the same, but there are some differences based on the regional preferences of buyers and the policy of the manufacturer in different countries.
For example, in Korea and the USA, the Accent looks exactly like the Solaris in Russia, but has a more modern 1.6-liter engine - the Gamma GDI, which has a maximum power of 138 hp. (against 123 hp for a 1.6 liter engine in Russia) and a maximum torque of 165 Nm (against 155 Nm in Russia). In addition, a 6-speed automatic transmission is available for Accent in the maximum trim levels.
For the American market, the front optics of the Hyundai on the side has an orange insert, instead of our white one. The Americans also have optics with LEDs (DRL / DRL) and lenses, the same as ours, the difference is also only in the side insert, they have it in orange. For the CIS market and the Middle East and other countries, the front optics are the same as on Solaris.

There is a slight difference in the rear optics, Solaris has one reverse lamp and one rear fog lamp, while the Accent 4 does not have a rear fog lamp at all, instead there is another reverse lamp.

In China, Verna has a distinctive front end - bumper, grille and headlight shape, as well as interior differences - trim color, the shape of some interior elements (for example, the front between the front seats) and the color of instrument and button illumination (red versus blue in Solaris).

A richer set of options available in Korea and the United States, for example, a large-screen radio with GPS navigation, a rear-view camera with a parking assistance system and displaying images in the rear-view mirror and on the radio screen, ECO mode, additional active safety systems, etc. .P.
The main difference is the color of the interior, it is light. There is a choice between colors and finishing materials. Interior colors to choose from: beige, gray and black. Finishing material: fabric and leather.
The difference is in the buttons on the steering wheel. The Hyundai Accent 4 (Accent RB) has cruise control buttons.

Note:
The Accent 4 has the same dashboard as the Solaris, the only difference is for the US market, the dashboard is in miles, but also signed km/h.
Look at the difference between the ESP control buttons, Hyundai headlight range control, interior lighting brightness adjustment, headlight beam adjustment and steering wheel heating.
In the Accent 4, for some reason, there is no button for adjusting the headlight angle.

Also pay attention to the air duct deflector, Accent 4 has a "twist" that can block the air flow.

Cars for the American market receive satellite radio. Solaris for the Russian market accepts RDS .
The Accent 4 does not have a button for heating the wiper rest area / heated windshield, instead there is a button for deactivating the passenger air bag (passenger air bag).
Instead of heating the windshield, the Accent 4 is equipped with a passenger air bag deactivation button, this makes it possible to:
1. Install a child seat on the passenger seat, turning off the airbag.
2. If you get into an accident without a passenger, only one pillow will work - the driver and side curtains (if any). Thus, you do not have to change the upper trim of the panel in the event of an airbag deployment.
In Accent 4, as well as in Solaris, there are configurations with and without heated front seats. But, the air conditioner button is in a different place. Perhaps this is done for symmetry, so as not to leave an empty plug.
Another difference is the part of the panel where the Hyundai Solaris cigarette lighter is located. 12V socket and AUX/USB/Ipod panel.
The difference is in the glove box lid. At Accent 4, it is opened by pressing the button in the upper left corner of the glove box lid, and not like on Solaris by the handle in the center.

The most basic interior difference between the Solaris and the Accent 4 is that the Accent 4 has a sunroof.
Solaris is delivered to the CIS countries from St. Petersburg under the name Accent, but otherwise it looks exactly the same as in Russia.
