How much the vehicle tax will cost you depends on the type of vehicle and the power of its engine (i.e. the number of horsepower). In addition, do not forget that you should also purchase an OSAGO policy every year. It is worth noting that the "lion's" share of the budget when owning a vehicle is consumed by fuel, so it will not be superfluous to have your own car.

  • wanted vehicles, provided that the fact of their theft is confirmed by a document issued by the authorized body.

The owner of the vehicle is obliged to pay the tax, even if it is not being used or is being repaired. To get rid of this obligation, it is necessary to remove the vehicle from the state registration.

In addition, with the help of our site you can, as well as suitable for your requests. If there are several options, then our site will help you choose the best option.

Versions and modifications

Solaris of the previous generation in Russia was offered with two atmospheric gasoline engines: 1.6 MPi (123 hp) and 1.4 MPi (107 hp). According to the results of 2016, the least popular version was the basic modification with a 4-speed automatic transmission (12% of sales). Most actively bought 1.6 with an automatic (47%), which is understandable: three years ago, with the restyling of the model, 6-speed gearboxes (both manual and automatic transmission) began to be installed in pair with this engine, which contributed a lot. Traditionally, Korean engines are not prone to saving, so the buyer greeted the innovation with a bang.

The layout of this year shows that the most powerful version with an automatic only strengthened its position, but the 1.6 version on the “handle”, on the contrary, is losing popularity - buyers are increasingly paying attention to the base engine, which, in our opinion, is quite justified. The fact is that if the 123-horsepower engine has practically not changed with the change of generations of the model, then the base engine is already completely different, technically more advanced, of the Kappa series. The former 1.4 Gamma unit was supplied to the plant near St. Petersburg from China, the current 1.4 Kappa comes from Europe. For many buyers, this is already a powerful argument for buying, because the 1.6-liter engine continues to be supplied from China.

Engine and box

The power of the new 1.4-liter engine relative to its predecessor ... has fallen! There is no mistake here: the unit is certified in Russia under 99.66 hp. instead of 107, so now the owner of the base version will pay less tax than the owner of Solaris 1.6. Did it affect the dynamics? Yes, and in different directions: the “manual” version (now there are 6 steps instead of 5) has become slower, but the 1.4 6AKP (it used to have 4 gears), on the contrary, is faster. Moreover, as shown, now the basic modification on the automatic transmission consumes significantly less fuel and, most importantly, is practically not inferior in terms of efficiency to the "manual" version. This is the result of an updated phase adjustment system: previously it was placed only on the intake camshaft, now on both. Unlike other types of automatic transmissions, modern hydromechanical automatic transmissions show high reliability, and Korean gearboxes are not far behind the others here. Finally, the “weight” of these units is given by their origin: they come to the Russian Hyundai plant from Korea.

The traction capabilities of the new 1.4-liter engine have improved dramatically: the maximum torque has been shifted from 5000 rpm to 4000, so now there is no need to spin the crankshaft as much as before. By and large, the difference between the base and powerful engines has decreased so much that you can feel it only when the car is heavily loaded, say, when four people are in the cabin, and even with suitcases in the trunk. In all other cases, there is no need for a 1.6-liter engine.

As for durability, both units have a relatively simple design, and both, with proper care, should not cause trouble to the owner and will run more than 200 thousand without failures. We note another advantage of the new 1.4 Kappa - a timing chain drive, like in 1.6.

Thus: the owner of the basic version will save both on transport tax and on fuel, while practically not losing in dynamics. Therefore, the difference in price between the versions, amounting to 25 thousand rubles, can be safely used for comprehensive insurance in the first year of operation.


brakes

Does the basic version have obvious disadvantages? Yes, these are rear drum brakes, which are also installed (depending on configuration) on modification 1.6. Alas, there are no rear "disks" for Solaris 1.4 modification. Meanwhile, as shown, the brake pedal settings on versions with disc brakes are much more comfortable: immediately at the beginning of the pedal stroke, the car starts to slow down, but on the version with rear drums, you need to immediately press the pedal halfway. This kind of "protection" with the softening of the drive, the engineers deliberately arranged, after all, drum mechanisms are inherently prone to jamming. Actually, we recommend not to be stingy and to supply the disks to the owners of the older version of Solaris 1.4, although they are available as an option, however, only in the Safety package (40 thousand rubles), to which you still need to purchase the Winter package (40 thousand rubles) .

Packages and options

We decided on the power unit: 1.4 6AT. And what about the trim levels, of which there are three: Active, Active Plus, Comfort? Despite the attractive basic configuration of Active, we do not recommend it, since you can drive without air conditioning in the summer only in northern latitudes, heated front seats will also come in handy in the Krasnodar Territory, and the absence of an audio system and even a radio is unlikely to inspire a potential buyer. Active Plus is not far ahead. There is not even the long-familiar power window of the driver's door (the one that is described in the specifications as follows: " with single-click lowering/raising, safety closer and switch-off delay")! So, one option remains: Comfort, equipped with, among other things, a heated steering wheel, a steering column adjustment for reach, an improved SuperVision instrument panel, an alarm system, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel rim.

Note that Hyundai Solaris in modification 1.4 6AT now has practically no analogues in the Russian market - with the change of generations of this subcompact sedan, Hyundai was the first to raise the bar for quality and comfort, the rest will have to focus on the "Korean". Our choice will cost the buyer 784,900 rubles.

The restyled Hyundai Solaris has been on sale in Russia since mid-2014. The model is offered in two body styles: a sedan and a 5-door hatchback (the production of the five-door was discontinued in May 2016). Both versions have a pair of power units from the Gamma series at their disposal: a 1.4-liter MPI engine with a return of 107 hp. (135 Nm) and a 1.6-liter MPI with 123 hp. Each of the engines is equipped with a variable valve timing system and a timing chain drive. The list of gearboxes includes four items:

  • 5-speed "mechanics" M5CF1-1;
  • 4-speed "automatic" A4CF1;
  • 6-speed "mechanics" M6CF1;
  • 6-speed "automatic" A6GF1.

The first two transmissions are for the 1.4 MPI engine, the other two are for the 1.6 MPI. More modern 6-speed gearboxes allow the engine to spin up to a maximum of 3000 rpm at a speed of 100-120 km / h, at which a good acoustic background is maintained in the cabin.

The main differences between the Hyundai Solaris hatchback and the sedan in terms of technical characteristics are the shorter body length (4120 mm versus 4375 mm for the four-door) and a more modest base trunk volume (370 versus 470 liters).

The fuel consumption of the Hyundai Solaris 1.4 is 6.1 liters (when equipped with a 5MKPP) or 6.6 liters (4AKPP). A car with a 1.6 engine consumes not much more - 6.3 and 6.7 liters ("mechanics" and "automatic", respectively).

Engine Hyundai Solaris 1.6 liter has 4 cylinders and a 16-valve DOHC timing mechanism with a chain drive. The power of the Hyundai Solaris 1.6 engine is 123 hp. Structurally, the 1591 cm3 engine differs from its counterpart, the 1.4-liter Solaris engine, only in an increased piston stroke. That is, the crankshaft of the motors is different, although the pistons, valves, camshafts and other parts are the same.

Power unit 1.6 liters from the Gamma series replaced the Alpha series motors in 2010. The design of the old engines was based on a cast-iron block, a 16-valve mechanism with hydraulic compensators and a timing belt. The new Hyundai Solaris Gamma engines have an aluminum block, consisting of the block itself and a cast pastel for the crankshaft, see the photo below.

The new Hyundai Solaris engine does not have hydraulic lifters. Valve adjustment is usually carried out after 95,000 kilometers, or, if necessary, with increased noise, from under the valve cover. The procedure for adjusting the valves consists in replacing the pushers that stand between the valves and the camshaft cams. The process itself is not easy and expensive. The chain drive is very reliable if you monitor the oil level. But the manufacturer recommends replacing, after 180 thousand mileage, the chain, all tensioners and dampers. To this is usually added the replacement of sprockets, which is generally not cheap.

When buying a Solaris with high engine mileage, consider these facts. Extra noises and knocks from under the hood should seriously alert. After all, you, in which case, then sort out the engine. The Hyundai Solaris motor is assembled exclusively in China at the Beijing Hyundai Motor plant. Therefore, carefully choose even a new car, so that later you would not have to adjust the valves under warranty by replacing the pushers.

The big disadvantage of the almost completely aluminum Hyundai Solaris 1.6 liter engine is oil consumption. If zhor has begun, do not be lazy to check the level more often and, if necessary, add oil. Oil starvation is fatal for this motor. Excessive noise is usually a sign that the oil level is low. You can't drive for that long. With poor engine care, even a major overhaul will not help. There is no such concept for this motor.

If you feel unstable operation of the motor, this may be the cause of the chain stretching. To calm your soul, you can see if the marks on the crankshaft pulley and camshaft sprockets match. Photo next.

The timing marks of the Solaris 1.6 engine in the photo are top dead center for the first cylinder (TDC). We decided to replace the timing chain ourselves, then this image will be very useful to you.

The rather good power of the 1.6-liter engine, which is branded G4FC, is determined not only by the 16-valve mechanism with overhead camshafts (DOHC), but also by the presence of a CVVT variable valve timing system. True, the actuator of the system is only on the intake camshaft. Today, more efficient Gamma 1.6 engines have appeared that have a phase change system on two shafts, plus direct fuel injection, but these engines are not supplied to Russia for Hyundai Solaris. Further, more detailed characteristics of the Solaris 1.6 liter engine.

Hyundai Solaris 1.6 engine, fuel consumption, dynamics

  • Working volume - 1591 cm3
  • Number of cylinders / valves - 4/16
  • Cylinder diameter - 77 mm
  • Stroke - 85.4 mm
  • HP power – 123 at 6300 rpm
  • Torque - 155 Nm at 4200 rpm
  • Compression ratio - 11
  • Timing Drive - Chain
  • Maximum speed - 190 kilometers per hour (with automatic transmission 185 km / h)
  • Acceleration to the first hundred - 10.3 seconds (with automatic transmission 11.2 seconds)
  • Fuel consumption in the city - 7.6 liters (with automatic transmission 8.5 liters)
  • Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 5.9 liters (with automatic transmission 7.2 liters)
  • Fuel consumption on the highway - 4.9 liters (with automatic transmission 6.4 liters)

It is worth noting that in the updated Hyundai Solaris 2015 with a 1.6 engine, only a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-band automatic is installed. With a less voluminous 1.4-liter power unit, an outdated 5-speed manual and a 4-band automatic are combined. Judging by the numerous customer reviews of the Hyundai Solaris 1.6, the real fuel consumption is higher, especially in urban mode, up to 10 liters. Although a lot depends on the driving style of each individual driver.

Very often I have to read questions - “tell me about Hyundai Solaris and KIA RIO motors, are they reliable or not, how long do they run (resource), what are the problems, pros and cons, and so on.” After all, these Korean cars are one of the best-selling and there is a lot of interest in them. For a long time I did not record this video (I thought everything had already been said before me in hundreds of videos and articles), but readers want exactly my opinion, so I decided to write today. As usual, there will be a video version at the end ...


It is worth noting that these powertrains are found on most other Korean cars of a higher class, such as KIA CEED and CERATO, as well as Hyundai Elantra, I30 and CRETA. They are also common in Russia, and therefore the information will be of interest to their owners.

For the impatient, I want to say one thing - THESE ENGINES ARE RELIABLE AS A HAMMER, THERE ARE NO COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THEM NOW. Feel free to take.

But for those who want to learn more about the motors of these Korean units, read on.

What motors are installed?

Let's start with old cars (2010 - 2016), they were equipped with only two power units, generations GAMMA 1.4 liters (107hp) and 1.6 liters (123hp)

At the moment (since 2017), both Solaris and RIO are equipped with two engine options - these are the so-called KAPPA (volume 1.4 liters - 100 hp) and GAMMAII (1.6 liters - 123 hp) .

The KAPPA generation began to be installed on the "poor" versions of the new generation of cars only in 2017, in high trim levels there is a modified GAMMAII engine (unspoken name)

EngineGAMMA (G4FA andG4FC)

Perhaps I’ll start with a description of these engines, as well as with structural features (the analysis will be very detailed, so stock up on tea):

Where they are produced: The plant is located in China (Beijing Hyundai Motor Co). Often there is a very prejudiced attitude towards this country, that “they say” everything is of poor quality and so on. However, do not confuse the underground and factory production (this is a huge difference). And so, for a moment, IPHONE is also made in China.

Fuel system, recommended gasoline and compression ratio : Injector, port injection (MPI). I consider this a plus, because this system is very simple, the injectors do not have contact with the combustion chambers (as with GDI direct injection), here they are integrated into the intake manifold. Their cost is cheaper, the pressure is lower (there is no analogue of the injection pump), and you can clean them yourself. In general, I advise you to read, everything is simple and on your fingers in it. Gasoline can be filled in, works great on it (this is another plus). - 10.5.

engine block : I won’t talk for a long time now - YES IT IS ALUMINUM with thin-walled dry cast iron sleeves (they are poured at the time of production). How many “shout” (on various forums) that the power unit is disposable and that the “pier” has driven 180,000 km and throw everything away (a little later). However, as practice shows, these motors are perfectly repaired. There are a lot of videos on the Internet, where these old worn out sleeves are thrown out and new ones are put in their place (well, then piston and so on). So Russian masters can do a lot - THIS IS A FACT!

Cylinders, pistons, crankshaft: 4 pieces in a row, lightweight oil scraper pistons and compression rings of normal sizes (although they could be thicker). The crankshaft and its liners do not cause any complaints, they go for a very long time (this unit is not a problematic link)

Timing system : ON SOLARIS - RIO engine, two camshafts are installed, 4 valves per cylinder (that is, 16 valves). - NO, only pushers are installed. Stands, with a hydraulic "tensioner" of the chain. There is one on the intake shaft.

: Intake - plastic, with intake geometry change system (VIS). Graduation - stainless steel. In fact, everything is very simple.

Oil: Replacement is allowed every 15,000 km, synthetic 5W30, 5W40 is recommended. The volume is approximately 3.3 liters. Operating temperature - 90 degrees Celsius

The resource declared by the manufacturer : about 200,000 km.

Difference between 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines : Weak version is abbreviated G4 FA (1.4l-107) , the older version is known as G4 FC (1.6l-123) . The engines are almost identical, the only difference is that the more powerful version has a piston stroke of 85.4 mm, while the weak one has 75 mm (a different crankshaft). Thus, "1.6" simply sucks in a larger amount of fuel - EVERYTHING ELSE IS NO CHANGES (it will be very detailed in the video version).

differenceGAMMA andGAMMAII (G4FG)

As I wrote above, the generation of GAMMA engines was installed not only on HYUNDAI SOLARIS and KIA RIO, but also on CEED, CERATO, ELANTRA, I30 and let's say CRETA. That's just if on SOLARIS (RIO) the power was 123 hp, then let's say on various SIDs, ELANTERS and other C-classes it was 128-130 hp. Why is that?

EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE:

Behind the scenes, there is such a difference as GAMMA and GAMMAII, motors:

GAMMA - these are power units with one intake phase shifter, volumes of 1.4 liters (code designation G4FA) and 1.6 liters ( G4FC).

GAMMA II - until 2016, they were installed only on CEED, i30, CERATO, ELANTRA, etc. (power floated from 128 to 130 hp). Since 2017, they have also been installed on SOLARIS, RIO and CRETA (power is artificially reduced to 123hp). The only difference is that they have two phase shifters on both shafts, the volume is 1.6 liters (code designation G4FG). The rest of the design is identical.

In the bottom line - since 2017, the engines on SOLARIS and RIO have become different (as on ELANTERS, SIDs and others), both 1.4 and 1.6 liters. Let it not be critical, but they are different.

Pros, cons and resource

Perhaps I’ll start with a resource - that’s what it will be first plus . The manufacturer gives about 200,000 km, but now there are already cars from 2010 that have already covered 500 - 600,000 km and you know, the motors work, no matter what (no matter how they are scolded).

Really trouble free units. , and often do not work on the best 92 gasoline. It is worth noting the convenient location, everything can be reached and easily replaced (candles, air filter), intake and exhaust manifolds, engine mounts. A short inlet, and this is not unimportant (the shorter it is, the less pumping suction losses). Also, there is not such a large amount of plastic as it is now in many modern engines. The main thing is to service on time (still, I recommend you change the oil every 10,000 km), pour high-quality synthetics (there is still a phase shifter and chain tensioner), and fill in 95 gasoline.

By cons (although these are not cons, but my recommendations). The noisy operation of the fuel injectors is not fatal, but a fact (it seems not the chirping of the chain). There are no hydraulic lifters (there are ordinary pushers) they need to be changed (by selecting new ones in height) about once every 100,000 km. The chain mechanism, and the timing chain itself, is also desirable to replace up to 150,000 km. Sometimes they happen (it can simply crumble), the crumb from it gets into the cylinders and can kill the engine very quickly. The problem is not massive, but it happens, as dealers assure from low-quality fuel, so refuel at normal gas stations

If we summarize the G4FA or G4FC, G4FG motor, then they really now have a great resource. As one minder told me - "reliable as a hammer and that not all Japanese walk like that now." EXACTLY WHY they are so loved by many taxi companies.

EngineKAPPA 1.4MPI (G4LC)

In my opinion, this is a continuation of GAMMA motors, but KAPPA also has its own chips. code name G4 LC . Prior to installation on Solaris and RIO, this engine was installed on HYUNDAI i30 and KIA CEED.

Power : The very first thing worth noting is its horsepower - 99.7 hp. (in the nomenclature it is written that 100 hp). This was done specifically for the tax, because in the early versions of the CEED and i30, such motors developed approximately 109 hp. So after the purchase, you can restore justice with factory firmware () from Korea

Where is going : According to the latest information, they are shipped directly from Korea (there is no talk about China).

Fuel supply system, gasoline, compression ratio: Here, multiport fuel injection (MPI) injectors are installed in a plastic intake manifold. Gasoline not less than 92. Compression ratio 10.5

Engine block: Aluminum with dry cast iron sleeves. Essentially a similar design to the GAMMA, however the KAPPA unit is 14kg lighter than its predecessor! This causes alertness, the motors are so “thin”, but here 14 kg have been removed from somewhere else.

Cylinders, pistons, crankshaft: 4 - cylinder, arranged in a row. The pistons are even lighter than their predecessor. HOWEVER, as the manufacturer assures piston cooling nozzles - THIS IS A REAL PLUS. The cranks are thinner, but they are longer. The crankshaft is similar to G4FA and G4FC, but according to my data, the necks are a little narrower. Again, relief in everything is not very good.

Timing system: 16 valves (4 per cylinder). Again, there are no hydraulic lifters, there are ordinary pushers. BUT there are two phase shifters on the intake and exhaust shafts (D-CVVT). There is a lamellar toothed chain.

intake and exhaust manifold : As usual, the intake is made of plastic, with an intake geometry change system (VIS). The outlet is made of stainless steel, with a catalyst built into it.

Lubrication: You need to fill in synthetics 5W30 or 5W40, replacement is allowed after 15,000 km (the volume is also about 3.3 liters). Works at a temperature of - 90 degrees Celsius.

Manufacturer resource - about 200,000 km.

Pros and consKAPPA

If we compare G4LC and G4FA (1.4 liters), then in the KAPPA generation, maximum power is already achieved at 6000 rpm. Whereas the GAMMA at 6300 rpm. Achieved this with a longer piston stroke:

GAMMA1.4 , stroke-75mm, diameter-77mm

KAPPA1.4 , stroke-84mm, diameter-72mm. That is, he is smaller, but walks more.

Another plus is good fuel economy (up to 0.2-0.3 liters per 100 km, when compared with an opponent) and the elasticity of the engine, it also has two phase shifters. Well, a weight reduction of 14 kg also gives advantages in acceleration and fuel consumption.

Here, in most cases, there are also metal throttles, thermostats, there is cooling of the cylinders with nozzles. With proper maintenance (change oil every 10,000 km and pour good), go more than 250,000 km (this is proven by the operation of the i30 and CEED). By the way, they now put it on the RIO X-Line

The downsides are the REDUCTION of everything and everything, especially the block, connecting rods, pistons (by 14 kg). Of course "" is also possible (by craftsmen), but will be more accurate and complex. Again, the nozzles are noisy, this is just a specific design. We change the pushers every 100,000 km and the chain mechanism every 150,000 km (although this is not so expensive by modern standards). Just like on many modern cars, there may be problems with scuffing from the catalyst (but this is not a complaint about this power unit).

The motor also turned out to be successful, and it picks up much faster than the opponent, runs easily up to 250,000 km and has practically no problems with proper care.

Now we are watching the video version of the article, I think it will be interesting.

To summarize, we can say that any engine with a volume of 1.4 or 1.6 liters on HYUNDAI Solaris, Elantra, i30, Creta, as well as on KIA RIO, RIO X-line, CEED, Cerato - GO WITHOUT PROBLEMS, often just huge runs of 500 - 600,000 km. TAKE IT, DON'T BE AFRAID.
