Earlier I wrote about + and - not being the owner, I purchased it, I exploit it and now I am already typing in a different capacity ...
About the poles:
1) A large sedan, for reasonable money and the latest years
2) In its class, perhaps the most spacious.
3) The strength and simplicity of units and assemblies are internal from Renault and external Japanese look from Nissan.
4) Not expensive to maintain, maintain. Spare parts, consumables in any car shop. In fact, one to one from Largus ...
5) ICE K4M, simple, reliable, with a huge motor resource and the absence of a phase regulator.
6) Simple, strong, well adapted suspension for our roads.
7) Excellent review of the rear-view mirrors.
8) Decent clearance for a sedan of 160 mm. and not a single element of the suspension destroys this clearance.
9) A huge trunk, folding the rear seatbacks further increases it.
10) Very good light front optics.
"Russian Almera" is one of the most common sedans working in a taxi, thanks to the summation of the above pluses and the presence of the K4M engine, which, without any manipulation, takes care of up to 500 thousand km, then the replacement of rings, oil seals and again into battle!
1) The K4M engine was designed at a time when engineers thought about the reliability and durability of motors. Therefore, a cast-iron block, simplicity of design, hundreds of thousands of kilometers of run before overhaul! But, attention to the timing unit, the planned replacement of the toothed belt + rollers every 60 thousand km. or every four years, whichever comes first. At 120,000 km, we will replace the pump, as well as the rivulet belt and rollers for it.
2) A design feature of the valve cover. It is fastened with small bolts and performs the function of a single yoke for camshafts.
3) Weak tightness of the motor. The valve cover and the place where the oil separator comes into contact with the valve cover can snot
4) On sedans with manual transmission, control over the state of the left front wheel drive for the presence of fogging of the anther and possible leakage of the transmission fluid. The design is like that of Renault Logan!
5) Automatic transmission DP2 is afraid of: contaminated gear oil, prolonged driving at high speeds, slippage. Prone to overheating. high speed initially. Solenoids come out of standing position, first of all, the linear oil pressure solenoid in the automatic transmission suffers.
6) Not an important review in the rearview mirror.
As long as there is no intervention!
Planned replacement engine oil- Elf Evolution 900 SXR with a viscosity of 5w30, recommended for these Renault engines. Replacement oil filter-Mann 75/3.
In the near future, the replacement of the air filter is still the same Mann 1858/2 and the cabin filter.
If the ascetic interior of the car does not repel, I recommend this sedan to purchase! For those who do not practice aggressive driving, who need a car for everyday, problem-free operation and want to save their family budget by spending the money they earn not on iron, but on more essential, fundamental needs!
All good!
First appeared on the market Russian Federation in 2011 and quickly won the hearts of Russian motorists. Popularity budget cars sedan in Russia has reached such a level that any self-respecting car company was obliged to launch sales of the four-door B-class. The Japanese automaker Nissan did not stand aside, which prepared according to its statements Almera model adapted to Russian conditions. In this article, we will try to find out which is better, Hyundai Solaris or Nissan Almera. To do this, we analyze both models, their features and specifications. By the way, the Korean automobile Hyundai also stated that solaris sedan adapted to the special Russian conditions, but in practice no improvement is noticeable.
Exterior
The appearance of the Hyundai Solaris leaves a favorable impression, the front optics with daytime running lights on LED elements immediately catch your eye. Compared to the "Korean" Nissan Almera looks more conservative and dry, but on the other hand more solid. Designers tried to increase the status due to such an exterior vehicle, although it refers to budget segment. Japanese sedan looks a bit like the flagship model of the automaker Nissan Teana.
Distance between front and rear axle both cars are almost the same, but the length of the Almera body is longer, and this plays a significant role in the space inside the car. The advantage of Solaris can be called the possibility of landing a car on wheel disks 16" diameter and day running lights on LED elements, the "Japanese" does not have such an opportunity.
Salon
A salon Nissan Almera looks no longer as solid as the exterior. For maximum savings, the developers did not change the interior of Renault Logan at all, on the basis of which Almera was created. Thus, the automaker saved on the development of a new interior and the modernization of assembly lines, resulting in a simple and austere interior.
After the Japanese model, the Hyundai Solaris salon looks almost “Mercedes”. Pleasing to the eye shapes, nice design, blue backlight, many different gadgets.
The seats in Solaris are also more comfortable, the front ones have good lateral support and rigidity, and the small steering wheel lies pleasantly in the hands. But the quality of the plastic leaves much to be desired. Another disadvantage of the “Korean” in comparison with the Nissan Almera is the free space, which after the Japanese sedan is simply not enough, it is crowded both above the head and in the elbows.
With regard to the rear row of seats, the Nissan Almera undoubtedly wins, the only plus of the Korean model is a more ergonomic and comfortable rear sofa, on which the back will feel more comfortable, but the knees and feet will be in discomfort. There are so many places in the "Japanese" that, according to this indicator, he can compete with cars of a higher class.
Trunk
The body length of the Nissan Almera is more than 140 millimeters, which favorably affected not only the amount of space in the cabin, but also the size luggage compartment. In addition, it is also wider than on Solaris, which makes loading any items more convenient. It should also be noted the trunk lid, which is completely finished with quite high-quality material for the “Japanese”, therefore it closes more clearly and better than on the Hyundai Solaris.
Suspension and engine
An old Nissan 1.6-liter power unit that produces 102 horsepower, definitely worse than Hyundai Solaris with the same working volume of cylinders, but with a return of 123 "horses". This is well felt while driving: in order to achieve dynamics similar to Solaris from Almera, you have to twist the engine so that the sound of its operation becomes similar to the sound of a flying plane.
The Korean car, even on an automatic transmission, accelerates more vigorously than Almera, whose acceleration to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour takes 13.9 seconds. It is also worth noting that Solaris more acutely feels the gas pedal. But at Almera, the pedal travel is much longer, which gives an advantage in driving in difficult road conditions.
As for the suspension, the Japanese sedan also received it from Renault Logan, but the automaker's engineers reconfigured it a bit. And they did it so well that in the segment of budget models it will be difficult to find the car that would better than Almeria endure any inconvenience. pavement. The power reserve of the suspension of the Japanese model is at a high level and the only thing that is depressing is the 140mm ground clearance.
The Hyundai Solaris handles better and more dynamically, but the suspension is stiffer. If we compare the suspension and handling of these two cars, we can say that Solaris against the "Japanese" is a real sports car. Driving a Korean car is much more interesting and dynamic, while driving an Almere involves a measured and uniform movement, more stable on straight sections of the road. It is unlikely to get any special emotions from the management of the Nissan Almera.
What to choose
When wondering what to choose, Hyundai Solaris or Nissan Almera, you need to understand that these cars are too different. The Korean model is perhaps better suited to young modern people who follow fashion and thrill-seekers. BUT japanese car they will choose those that will care more about the comfortable sensations of the rear passengers and the cargo being transported. Such a car, due to its solid appearance and spacious interior good to buy for businesses.
Price
You can buy a Nissan Almera for a relatively small amount. The basic equipment of the car with a 1.6-liter power unit with a capacity of 102 horsepower and a mechanical transmission will cost the Russian buyer in the amount of 539,000 rubles. And the Nissan Almera sedan with automatic transmission gear shifting will cost from 617,000 rubles. For top-end equipment with an abundance of various options, official dealers will ask for at least 637,00 rubles.
Hyundai Solaris or Nissan Almera? These two models, which are sold at a similar price, . Who should be given preference? After all, each car captivates with its own merits. So who has more?
Hyundai Solaris and Nissan Almera
Prestige, body and exterior
Here Nissan Almera leads by a small margin. Whatever it was, but in Russia Japanese stamps have always been quoted above Korean ones, although this does not mean that the quality of modern ones is inferior to those from Japan. But stereotypes are hard to eradicate.
Body
In this regard, the unconditional victory of Solaris. After all, Hyundai is able to offer a car dealership customer both a sedan and a 5-door hatchback. But in the range of Almeria there is only a sedan, which significantly limits the circle of buyers. Both models do not have station wagons.
Exterior
Of course, much in appearance is evaluated subjectively, but the main trends can be outlined. If Solaris, which survived the restyling in 2014, is tailored according to its own canons and boasts a certain identity, then Almera was created as a reduced copy of the premium Teana model. Well, an example to follow is more than well chosen.
Both cars look harmonious and solid. Hyundai captivates with a new radiator grille and head optics, a forward-leaning profile and expressive stampings, as well as a thoroughbred stern and stylish rims.
The image of the Nissan Almera is completely different. It has an order of magnitude more smooth lines and transitions, rounded headlights, an almost flat roof, and the stern looks harmonious, although too small rear lights break out of the image. Nevertheless, inflated forms will not leave anyone indifferent.
Both machines captivate with their features. Someone likes it more, emphasized by the design in the vein of “flowing lines”, while others appreciate the corporate style of the Japanese brand, which is not afraid to try on “big brothers outfit” on its golf-class models. But in general, this is already a game of nuances.
Specifications Hyundai Solaris and Nissan Almera
Engines
The first is a 1.4-horsepower engine. Despite the small volume, it was possible to supply it with 4 cylinders, as well as 16 valves. This made it possible to bring the return of such an aspirator (with injection system power supply) up to 107 horses at 6,300 rpm. And its torque reached 135 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Nevertheless, its dynamics are decent - Solaris gains a hundred in 11.5 seconds, and also accelerates to 190 km / h. At the same time, consumption is limited to 7.5 liters in the city.
Video: Nissan Almera vs Solaris - about design and prospects
His rival was the engine from the Japanese sedan, with a volume of 1.6 liters. It also has an injector and 16 valves for 4 cylinders. The power of the Almera engine is slightly lower than that of the opponent - 102 horses, but their peak is available a little earlier (at 5,750 rpm), and in terms of traction it even exceeds the opponent - 145 Nm of torque. The peak moment, which is already available at 3,750 rpm, allows you to get it in the most running range and outperform the competitor in dynamics - 10.9 seconds. up to a hundred, although for this I had to yield a little in maximum agility (185 km / h). But the declared consumption is already 2 liters higher than that of Solaris, and this is very serious for a car of this segment.
But Almera is no longer able to oppose anything to the 1.6-liter Hyundai Solaris engine. The Alliance engine itself is amazing - from a small volume, as well as a simple design, the Koreans managed to get 123 horses of power, although they are only available at 6,300 rpm. The torque is not a record, but 155 Nm of thrust at 4,200 rpm will be quite a worthy indicator. Acceleration to hundreds is more dynamic than that of the 1.4-liter engine and the Nissan engine - 10.1 seconds to hundreds. A 190 km/h top speed, along with an appetite of 8.1 liters, allow you to leave the competitor far behind. Yes, and the motor seems to feel very dynamic - good acceleration from the lower range is complemented by pickup in the upper.
Therefore, in this category, it is necessary to recognize the victory of Solaris - a greater choice of motors guaranteed him leadership.
Transmission
In terms of gearboxes, again confidently, because the choice is twice as wide. If Almera is able to offer customers a 5-speed "mechanics" and a 4-band "automatic". That Korean sedan has a similar set that goes to a 1.4-liter engine, as well as a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-band AT, designed for a 123-horsepower engine. But this is a rarity for a budget model!
5-speed mechanical transmissions cars are about the same gear ratios optimally selected, the lever does not knock out in motion, and the gears themselves are quite enough. I would only like a more assembled lever for the Nissan Almera - its long-stroke and laxity strain the driver, which is much less pronounced in Solaris. 4-band “automatic machines” generally cope with their duties, but in dynamics they noticeably lose mechanical boxes. And if necessary, accelerate sharply, both transmissions “think” for about a second whether it is worth doing, and only then acceleration follows.
Video: Reviews and Test Drive 2015 Hyundai Solaris - breakdowns and malfunctions
But the more technologically advanced, 6-speed transmissions of the Hyundai Solaris completely outplay the competitor. With them, it is easier to save fuel, the dynamics become more understandable, the automatic transmission thinks noticeably less during switching or activating the kick-down mode. Of course, some believe that such boxes are useless for a 123-horsepower engine. In part, this is true - in some ways this is really a PR move. However, driving with such transmissions is really more convenient.
Chassis
Structurally, it is identical for both models, but different settings also led to different behavior of cars on the road. Both vehicles are fully independent suspension on the front axle, equipped with McPherson struts, as well as a semi-independent scheme at the rear, where there is a torsion beam.
However, the habits of Solaris and Almera are completely opposite. Hyundai Solaris, as before, captivates drivers with unexpectedly sharp handling - it enters turns without surprises, Feedback on the steering wheel is transparent, rolls and wave buildup are also not observed. From budget sedan don't even expect that. But it was not without its downsides. Sharpness in control was achieved due to the rigidity of the chassis, which is clearly felt by riders in the car. The sedan diligently transfers the slightest flaws in the roadway to the salon.
Nissan Almera has a completely different character. The Japanese sedan is more imposing in management, it enters turns not so willingly, and its predisposition to demolition is more noticeable. On the other hand, Almera is softer in motion, and its taxiing cannot be called inadequate - reactions to steering wheel turns are quite timely, and the lack of sharpness, like Solaris, is not critical.
Interior
Inside, Nissan, after such an expressive appearance, frankly disappoints, and not with the quality of workmanship, but with the design. This is the same Logan - a simple interior, solid gray and a lot of black, hard plastic. In the basic versions, such a salon looks very poor.
Salon Nissan Almera
In the top modifications, this monotony is slightly diluted with silver edging of instruments and air vents, a modern audio system, silver elements on the dashboard and door cards, as well as leather steering wheel upholstery. However, these improvements are not able to completely eradicate the "Logan" impression.
Otherwise, Almera's interior is very good - the seats are comfortable, with good lateral support, the filler in them is of high quality, it dampens the buildup well and allows you not to get tired on the road, and the flat rear sofa makes it possible to comfortably accommodate the average passenger. The multimedia system has all the necessary functions - Bluetooth, navigation, support for iPhone and iPod. Only the columns fail, but they are easy to replace. In addition, the Almera salon boasts considerable dimensions - rear passengers feel at ease, even if tall people are sitting in front. And in the back there is also a 500-liter trunk!
Of the ergonomic flaws, only the uncomfortable power window keys located on the central tunnel can be noted, as well as the adjustment of the mirrors, which is near the parking brake.
The interior of the Solaris is much prettier - an attractive design of the center console with a darkened background of the displays, comfortable seats, with good lateral support, informative dashboard with clear symbols, proper location of air vents, etc.
Hyundai Solaris interior
It is worth noting that the Koreans managed to eliminate the main defects that were criticized by the owners of the pre-styling version - the radio buttons located on the steering wheel no longer sink, the steering column switch got rid of the accidental switching on of the high beam, and the windows no longer fog up. This was achieved due to new latches on the keys, an upgraded ventilation system, as well as a different mounting of the printed circuit board.
However, in the space of the Hyundai Solaris, it is noticeably inferior to Almera - there is less space on the back sofa, and it is clearly profiled for 2 riders. Lumbar support for the front seats is also inadequate. Trunk volume is slightly less - 30 liters (470 liters).
Prices
The initial cost of Nissan is noticeably lower - 439,000 rubles. against 495,900 rubles. at Solaris. The top versions are approximately in the same ratio - 605,000 rubles. from Nissan and 685,400 rubles. at Hyundai. Whether it is worth paying more for Solaris is up to the buyer to decide.
Hyundai Solaris can be considered truly people's car. A model ideal for traveling Russian roads first went on sale in 2011. Production is located near St. Petersburg. A decent period of presence on the market of this model and reviews of a large number of satisfied car owners allow us to characterize the capabilities of the car, highlight strengths and weak spots. First of all, it is worth noting the high-quality assembly, the durability of all parts and components. Reasonably priced for Hyundai Solaris does not have any catch - the owners of the car do not distinguish any squeaks when driving, problems with control and acceleration. With intensive use for several years, breakdowns do not appear - of course, subject to timely maintenance.
A complete list of benefits at an affordable price
Those who are thinking about what kind of car to buy for city driving and short trips to nature should familiarize themselves with the impressive list of useful features of the model. Externally, the car is in no way inferior to more expensive premium brands - it looks stylish, relevant, presentable. The manufacturer took special care of the convenience of the driver and passengers - there is enough space in the cabin, everything you need is at hand, providing complete comfort even on long trips. The dashboard is distinguished by a laconic combination of black and steel colors, blue backlight. Present on-board computer, audio system with powerful speakers. All devices are designed capaciously and informatively. Heated seats, mirrors and wiper area works quite efficiently at any temperature and open doors. Separately, it is worth noting the rear-view mirrors - more convenient for viewing, compared with other brands of cars. The trunk holds 470 liters of usable space, which is a decent figure for a sedan, despite the general compact dimensions models.
Why is the car chosen by the majority? Excellent specifications
Experienced motorists will agree that the priority value of a car is in its engine. Motor reliability plus impressive power Hyundai Solaris done this model a confident leader in sales over the past few years. The sedan boasts two engine sizes - 1.4 and 1.6 liters, 5-speed and 6-speed "mechanics", 4-speed and 6-speed "automatic". Redesigned model suspension latest generation allows the driver to move smoothly at a speed of 100-140 km / h, without feeling any discomfort. Fuel consumption is as economical as servicing the Hyundai Solaris in general.

Therefore, in this category, it is necessary to recognize the victory of Solaris - a greater choice of engines provided him with leadership.
Transmission
Part by part gearboxes again, Hyundai Solaris leads with confidence, since it has twice the choice. If Almera is able to offer customers a 5-speed "mechanics" and a 4-band "automatic".

But this is unique for a budget model!
5-speed manual transmissions in cars are approximately equal - the gear ratios are optimally selected, the lever does not knock out in motion, and the gears themselves are fully enough. I would only like a more assembled lever for the Nissan Almera - its long-stroke and laxity strain the driver, which is notably not strong in Solaris. 4-band “automatic machines” generally cope with their own duties, but in dynamics they noticeably lose to mechanical gearboxes.
And if necessary, accelerate quickly, both transmissions “think” for about a second whether it is worth doing, and only later acceleration is directed.

Interior
In Nissan, at the end of such a clear appearance, it openly disappoints, and not with the quality of execution, in particular with the design. This is the same Logan - an unpretentious interior, mass and solid grayness of dark, hard plastic. In the basic assumptions, such a salon looks very poor.
Nissan Almera Salon
In the top modifications, this monotony is little diluted with silver edging of deflectors and airflow devices, a modern audio system, silver elements on the dashboard and door cards, and leather steering wheel upholstery. However, these improvements are not able to completely eradicate the "Logan" feeling.
Otherwise, Almera's interior is very good - the seats are ergonomic, with good lateral help, the filler in them is of high quality, it perfectly absorbs the buildup and allows you not to get tired on the road, and the flat rear sofa allows you to comfortably accommodate the average passenger.

Of the ergonomic flaws, it is necessary to note only the uncomfortable power window keys located on the central tunnel, and the adjustment of the mirrors, which is near the parking brake.
The interior of the Solaris is much more beautiful - an attractive design of the center console with a darkened background of the displays, ergonomic seats with good side assistance, an informative dashboard with clear signs, proper placement of air vents, etc.

It should be emphasized that the Koreans managed to eliminate the main shortcomings, which were criticized by the owners of the pre-styling version - the radio buttons located on the steering wheel no longer sink, the steering column toggle switch got rid of the accidental switching on of the high beam, and the windows no longer fog up. This was achieved due to new latches on the keys, an upgraded ventilation system, and a different mounting of the printed circuit board.
But, in the space of the Hyundai Solaris, it is noticeably inferior to Almera - there is less space on the back sofa, and it is obviously profiled for 2 riders. The lumbar support of the front seats is also insufficient. The amount of luggage space is less - by 30 liters (470 liters).
