Hyundai reveals additional design details of the Staria

Hyundai has unveiled additional design features of its new MPV lineup, the Staria, ahead of its digital world premiere slated for the first half of 2021.

Designed for both families and businesses, the Staria provides next-level mobility solutions that make time in transit more accommodating, productive and worthwhile. Moreover, the Staria provides a preview of the space innovation that will be available through Purpose Built Vehicles (PBVs) in the future mobility era.

The Staria's simple front is adorned with horizontal daytime running lights and a positioning lamp that together stretch across the width of the vehicle. The bold and wide radiator grille with unique patterns creates an instantly recognisable facade. Its sophisticated space-age appearance is further defined by low-set headlamps positioned on each side of the grille.

Hyundai uses the same body colour for all frontal parts to maximise the vehicle's modern and pure style. The lowered beltlines and expansive panoramic windows on the sides improve overall visibility and provide a sense of openness. The rear has a simple and pure look, with eye-catching vertical tail lamps as well as a wide rear window. The rear bumper is lowered to help passengers easily load and unload the cargo.

The Staria Premium adds exclusive design cues to provide a luxurious look and feel. A radiator grille with a unique mesh pattern, chrome lines around the cube-type, full-LED headlamps as well as the tinted brass chrome applied to the Hyundai emblem on the front, wheels, side mirrors and door handles highlight the Staria's sophisticated and high-end styling.

Exclusive 18-inch wheels include diamond patterns and graphics, emphasising the car's premium and modern look. The premium model's rear combination lamps are also applied with Hyundai's unique Parametric Pixel design and lamp-shape garnish on top, providing a connected feeling.

Inspired by the lounge of a cruise ship, the Staria's interior provides a luxurious feeling and relaxed space. The vehicle's innovative design architecture, with lower beltlines and expansive panoramic windows, creates a spacious, stimulating environment for passengers.

The driver-focused cockpit has a futuristic high-tech look with a 10.25-inch front display screen, touch-based center fascia and a button-type electronic shift lever. The digital cluster is located on top of the dashboard, providing an unobstructed view for the driver.

Storage space is available on top of the overhead console, bottom of the cluster, and top and bottom of the center fascia. The center console box is equipped with cup holders, USB ports and additional storage space for both driver and passengers.

The Staria Premium model offers a variety of additional interior features that will transform the passenger's mobility experience. The seven-seater high-end model includes a one-touch relaxation mode on its second-row premium relaxation seats, automatically reclining to a seat posture that comfortably disperses the passenger's weight and improves overall body balance.

The nine-seater Staria Premium has second-row seats with the added ability to swivel 180 degrees to face passengers in the third row. This offers a new mobility experience where passengers can talk while looking at each other.

The 64-colour ambient mood lamp, available in the Staria Premium variant, provides exceptional interior atmosphere. The harmonious direct and indirect lighting can be implemented on the cockpit, floor console, door and luggage trims to add to the premium feeling.

The Staria offers a number of seating arrangements, from two-seater to 11-seater, making it suitable for both family and business use. The Staria Premium, a high-end variant, is available in seven, nine and 11-seat configurations with exclusive design cues and interior upgrades.
