Hyundai Accent sedans are available for purchase through Russian dealers and private sellers. In essence, the car known in Russia as Solaris has continued to be distributed under the Accent nameplate in certain markets, with production sourced from Kazakhstan. This arrangement lets buyers choose among available configurations and trims as part of the brand’s regional strategy.
Prospective buyers can select a 1.4 liter diesel engine producing around 100 horsepower or a 1.6 liter petrol engine delivering about 123 horsepower. Transmission choices include a manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic, depending on the chosen configuration and region.
Prices for these Accent variants typically fall within the 1.6 to 1.9 million rubles range, reflecting market dynamics, import costs, and local incentives.
The South Korean automaker’s plant in Saint Petersburg, which previously assembled the Solaris, has faced idling and workforce reductions as market conditions and production considerations have shifted. This change underscores the broader supply and manufacturing adjustments impacting the local automotive industry.
