Tell me more… The Staria went on sale in 2021, and alongside left-hand-drive markets such as Korea and Europe, it’s also offered in Australia, meaning the right-hand-drive engineering graft has already been done. The prototype features minimal camouflage, and as a result it's easy to spot the (mild) tweaks to the front and rear ends. European buyers choose from Van, Wagon (aka MPV) or higher-spec Wagon Premium variants, with everything from two- to 11-seat variants. 5600 block of W.

Waller between 3:00 p. The dramatic front end is key, with an unusually rakish bonnet that flows directly into a similarly swept back windscreen, and appealing details like an aggressive mesh grille, horizontal full-width DRLs and vertically stacked LEDs. The Staria didn’t sternly demand we had ’20 seconds to comply’, but it looks like it could. October 13 and 12:15 p. An unusually large glasshouse cuts low into the body and dominates the side profile, with more vertical LEDs for the rear. Hyundai says the Staria embodies its ‘inside-out design methodology that emphasizes interior spaciousness and usability’. October 14, 2022. What’s it like inside then? In a word, big. The front seats are comfy, the floor between driver and passenger is flat, and there are so many deep storage areas you might need those Thai cave diving experts to get them back out again. What you can do: Never leave your vehicle running and unoccupied (other than using a remote start). The low glasshouse allows your elbows to rest at a pleasingly and equally low level on both the central armrest and top of the door card, so it’s like luxuriating in a big plush high chair.

Our test route was a relatively short loop through Seoul’s nightmare traffic, but it was enough to get a flavour. The steering feels lightish and consistent, the auto gearbox tips in smoothly (plus you’ve got paddelshift control) and visibility is good for such a large car, so it’s an easy enough thing to potter about in. The diesel gets a bit vocal and strained when asked to deliver its full/modest potential, even if it’s fine for typical driving, but the big de-merit goes to the ride – it really clatters about and requires significant finessing to be taken seriously in the UK, but then Hyundais usually are given a UK tune. Hyundai Staria: verdict In a segment that even its inventors are rapidly deserting in favour of the ubiquitous SUV, it’s refreshing and exciting to see Hyundai make the now unfashionable MPV seem so desirable – as well as giving outdoor types a larger alternative to the Volkswagen California in the case of our camper variant.
