Hyundai Staria

The Hyundai Staria (Korean: 현대 스타리아) is a 5-door van and minivan manufactured by Hyundai since 2021. It was introduced as the successor to the Starex, replacing the rear-wheel-drive layout of the Starex with a front-wheel-drive-based platform shared with other large Hyundai and Kia vehicles.[6] The name "Staria" was coined by combining the word "star" with "ria".[7] It is currently marketed in South Korea, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, Middle East,[8] Latin America,[9][10][11] and several European countries.[12]

Overview

edit

Interior and exterior images of the Staria were released on 18 March 2021.[13][14] Following the automaker's new design theme "Inside Out," the vehicle is said to feature the look of a spaceship and a wide-open cabin.[15]

The model achieved a maximum height of the cabin up to 1,379 mm (54.3 in) by raising the total height by 70 mm (2.8 in) and lowering the ground clearance by 30 mm (1.2 in) compared to its predecessor, the Starex. Hyundai designers also introduced a low beltline to create larger side windows, which is called "wide panoramic windows".[16] The Staria has been noted to be spacious, but difficult to park, especially in multi-storey car parks.[17][18]

The Staria comes in two versions, a standard model and a high-end variant which is known as the Staria Lounge or Staria Premium in several markets.[19] A cargo version is also offered in several regions.[20]
