Hyundai Motor has officially launched The New STARIA Limousine in Korea, the crown jewel of its MPV lineup. Positioned as the ultimate VIP transport, this flagship model is now available with two advanced electrified powertrains: a 1.6 Turbo Hybrid and an All-Electric (EV) version.

Designed for executives, high-end hospitality, and families who refuse to compromise on comfort, the STARIA Limousine combines futuristic aesthetics with an unparalleled interior experience.

Exquisite Exterior Design

The Limousine model distinguishes itself from the standard STARIA through exclusive styling cues that emphasize its “Premium Movement” philosophy.

  • Hybrid Aesthetics: Features a bold Black Chrome rectangular block pattern grille and elegant gold-colored garnish on the bumpers and side sills.
  • EV Aesthetics: Adopts a sleek, darkened look with black accents on the front grille, mirror covers, and emblems, contrasted with premium gold skid plates.
  • Exclusive Wheels: The Hybrid rides on bespoke 18-inch all-black alloy wheels, while the Electric model utilizes 17-inch aerodynamic wheels.
  • Twilight Horizon Two-Tone: A new, exclusive two-tone paint option (e.g., Abyss Black Pearl paired with Robust Emerald Pearl) creates a sophisticated visual break along the vehicle’s horizontal lines.

The VIP Cabin: The “Executive Seat” Experience

The heart of the STARIA Limousine is its interior, specifically the 6-seater configuration which introduces the industry-leading Executive Seats.

  • Premium Materials: Seats are upholstered in Semi-Aniline natural leather, processed with minimal coating to preserve the soft, natural texture.
  • Air Contour Body Care: Features 14 internal air cells and five distinct massage modes to eliminate fatigue during long journeys.
  • Relaxation Mode: A one-touch system that reclines the seat to an optimal angle, balancing body pressure for a weightless feel.
  • Entertainment & Ambience: A folding 17.3-inch rear entertainment system is mounted to the ceiling, complemented by a Panoramic Sky Roof that provides both soft ambient lighting and functional reading lights.

Technical Refinement

To ensure a whisper-quiet ride, Hyundai has implemented aluminum suspension components to reduce unsprung weight and double-laminated soundproof glass for the second-row windows. These upgrades, combined with the silent operation of the EV and Hybrid powertrains, create a mobile sanctuary for passengers.
