Hyundai Solaris Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2010–2014) — First Generation
The first-generation Hyundai Solaris comes in sedan and five-door hatchback body styles. Choosing one means weighing how you carry luggage, which transmission suits your driving and what equipment you want for everyday comfort.
Hyundai Solaris engine and transmission choices include the 1.4 AT, 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT sedan versions, each pairing gasoline power with front-wheel drive. An automatic makes stop-start traffic less tiring, while a manual lets you choose when to change gears for hills, overtaking or maintaining a steady pace.
Hyundai Solaris trim levels describe equipment choices within a technical version: the 1.6 AT sedan, for example, is offered in Comfort and Optima configurations. Both retain the same engine and transmission combination. Check the individual car’s equipment to see which comfort and convenience features suit your daily driving.
