Hyundai Motor Company has released the first teaser pictures of its upcoming 7-seater compact MPV – Hyundai Staria. The model will be designed especially for the South Asian markets. One must note that the carmaker recently trademarked the Staria nameplate in India as well.
While there is no official word on its India launch, the MPV will be first launched in Phillippines. It will make its world debut in coming months. Reports suggest that the Staria might be the new-generation Hyundai Starex, which is sold in several Asian markets.
The teaser pictures reveal the vehicle’s silhouette and a few details of its front and rear sections. The upcoming Hyundai Staria carries an intricate chrome mesh grille, square-shaped LED headlamps and a strip of LED DRL running across the front portion of the bonnet.
