Starting in January, the Solaris will be Hyundai's first model to be assembled at the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Rus plant.<br /></span><p></p><a name="more"></a><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The Solaris name comes from a competition held earlier this year. According to Hyundai, "Solaris", derived from the Latin <em>Sol</em>, "implies Hyundai Motor's strong will to expand its business in the Russian Federation".<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Major differences deemed necessary for the Russian market include a new front end with boomerang fog lights, less swoopy headlights with bi-color bezels, and a more blunt hexagonal grille area with a less-pronounced chin. Inside, both the Solaris and Accent should be about the same, but differences may include some trim colors/options.<br /></span></p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJkQ4rlEHiI/AAAAAAADUig/1UFKJvK5aL0/s1600/2011-Hyundai-Solaris-011.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519461384276155938" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TJkQ4rlEHiI/AAAAAAADUig/1UFKJvK5aL0/s200/2011-Hyundai-Solaris-011.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 121px;" /></a><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The top of the range Solaris features six airbags, and Hyundai will also provide models with electronic stability control.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The big South Korean auto monster says it will be making sure that Russian Solares will be prepped and ready to handle the harsh Russian environment, including as standard a rear heating duct, 4.0-liter washer fluid reservoir (with low level sensor), a 60Ah (ampere-hour) battery "for higher cold start performance", front and rear mudguards, and a set of enduro (1,500 hour) headlamps.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Optional add-ons for our deep-north Siberian readers include a wiper de-icer, heated driver/front passenger seats, heated mirrors, and an automatic "Emergency Stop Signal" that turns on should an accident occur.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Hyundai is hoping for 85,000 sales per year in Russia (including a 5-door hatchback that arrives later in 2011) once the Solaris goes on sale in 2011. Russian readers, this one goes out to you: is this a car you'd consider? And does the fact that it's Russian-built play a factor in your decision?
