The test car has a "Solaris" badge under the taillights, which is the name of the Hyundai Accent in the Russian market. Despite the heavy camouflage, the new Accent's appearance looks modern and similar to its "big brother" Elantra.
The front of the car seems to be equipped with a new 2-level light cluster, with separate and low-mounted headlights, while the positioning lights are located above, similar to Hyundai SUV models such as Kona and Creta.
The hood is quite low, the radiator grille system has the same design as the Elantra. The rear design is also different from the current generation, the LED taillights are connected together.
