Hyundai Motor Company has officially unveiled the New STARIA in Korea, a significantly upgraded version of its flagship MPV, reinforcing its position in the Korean and global multi-purpose vehicle market. Arriving as a facelift after nearly five years, the New STARIA delivers major improvements in design, technology, ride comfort, and powertrain efficiency.
Futuristic Design Inspired by Hyundai’s Inside-Out Philosophy
The New STARIA showcases a refined high-tech exterior highlighted by a continuous horizontal LED daytime running light and a cleaner, more modern front fascia. The STARIA Lounge elevates this further with a chrome block grille and reinforced bumper styling, positioning it as a premium MPV alternative.
12.3-Inch Displays and Improved Interior Usability
Inside, Hyundai has focused on space efficiency and digital clarity. Dual 12.3-inch displays, a redesigned horizontal dashboard layout, physical control buttons, and additional storage solutions enhance both convenience and safety. The Lounge model benefits from a column-type electronic shifter, freeing up interior space.
Hybrid and LPG Powertrains for Efficiency and Performance
Buyers can choose between a 1.6-liter turbo hybrid engine or a 3.5-liter LPG engine, balancing fuel efficiency with strong performance. The hybrid variant delivers up to 13.1 km/L, making it ideal for both family and commercial use.
Superior Ride Comfort and Cabin Quietness
Upgraded suspension systems, hydro bushings for premium trims, and expanded sound insulation significantly improve ride stability and cabin refinement. These enhancements make the New STARIA one of the most comfortable MPVs in its class.
Advanced Infotainment, OTA Updates, and Safety as Standard
Hyundai equips the New STARIA with its latest ccNC infotainment system, wireless OTA updates, Digital Key 2, and advanced driver-assistance systems such as forward collision avoidance and blind-spot monitoring, ensuring class-leading safety and connectivity.
Competitive Pricing and Fuel Cost Benefits
Starting from approximately KRW 32.59 million (22,000 USD / 18,600 EUR), the New STARIA offers strong value across Cargo, Tourer, and Lounge variants. Hyundai further enhances ownership value with exclusive fuel rewards through its OK Cashbag partnership.
