Chronology
PredecessorHyundai Starex

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] and several European countries.[9]

Overview

Interior and exterior images of the Staria were released on 18 March 2021.[10][11] 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.[12]

Hyundai designers also introduced a low beltline to create larger side windows, which is called "wide panoramic windows".[13] The Staria has been noted to be spacious, but difficult to park, especially in multi-storey car parks.[14][15]
