The "Alarm-Motors Hyundai" dealer in St. Petersburg completely sold out the first batch of Solaris HS, which arrived on March 18, in one day. Buyers had booked the cars in advance, when they were not yet in the showroom, so Russians who came to the car dealership could not purchase the displayed cars. This is not surprising, since the first batch shipped by AGR Automotive Plant LLC to both capitals was only 150 cars. But Solaris HS can still be purchased in other cities.
Thus, more than 200 Solaris HS 2024 models are still being sold in Russia. They are presented in three trim levels out of four possible: Active Plus, Comfort, and Sportline. Most of the cars available for sale are equipped with a 123-horsepower 1.6-liter engine and a six-speed "automatic". However, there are also "Solaris" cars with a 100-horsepower 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine and automatic transmission.
Prices differ from those announced earlier. For example, the basic Active Plus trim level at a dealer in Voronezh costs RUB 2.05 million. The exact same car in Moscow will cost RUB 2.17 million.
The Comfort trim level cars with additional Winter equipment are available from a dealer in the capital from RUB 2,199,000 to 2,339,000, with Light and Winter packages - the price tag starts from RUB 2,110,000, with the Light package - RUB 2,374,000, and with Advanced options - from RUB 2,363,000.
There are Comfort trim levels with three packages Light + Winter + Advanced or Light + Advanced + Safety. Prices for such cars range from RUB 2,370,000 to 2,428,000. Without "add-ons", the Comfort trim level can be found in Moscow from RUB 2,243,000. The only car in the Sportline Comfort + Advanced trim level is available for RUB 2,310,000.
Dealers explain the high demand for Solaris HS by the interest in the car not only from private individuals, but also from corporate clients, including taxi fleets.
