Hyundai Staria MPV has finally made its global debut via official pictures. The carmaker says the new MPV has been designed with ‘inside-out’ approach, reflecting recent shifts in consumer needs that prioritize the use of interior space. In global markets, the Staria will replace the Hyundai Starex MPV and go up against the Toyota Hiace.
One must note that it won’t make its way to India. Though, the South Korean carmaker is reportedly working on a compact MPV for the Indian market. In fact, the company recently trademarked the ‘Hyundai Staria’ nameplate in the country.
The new Hyundai MPV carries boxy, tall stance with curvy silhouette and retro design elements. Upfront, the model carries a wide grille with chrome mesh design, rectangular LED headlamps with DRLs stretching horizontally across the width of the hood and a large windscreen. At the back, it gets vertically placed LED taillamps. Read – Hyundai Alcazar 7-seater SUV Debut On 6th April 2021

The first row of seats has a one-touch ‘relaxation mode’ that reclines the seat automatically. Feature details of the new Hyundai MPV are yet to be revealed.
