HYUNDAI’S NEW PEOPLE MOVER will be called the Staria. The company has released teaser images showing the Staria Premium, a high-end variant of Staria standard model.
The Staria name combines ‘star’ and ‘ria’ (duh!), in reference to the vehicle’s future-oriented product values and streamlined design characteristics defined by one curve gesture silhouettes as well as clean and pure body volume (no, we don’t know what it means either).
Staria reflects Hyundai’s commitment to lead the future mobility industry as a Smart Mobility Solution Provider, under the brand’s vision of ‘Progress for Humanity.’ Staria is equipped with various driver-centric features and futuristic design elements that deliver new experiences for drivers and passengers and make time in transit more productive and worthwhile.
Staria’s exterior is strikingly futuristic. The front is highlighted by a long, horizontal daytime running light and headlamps positioned underneath. The spaceship vibe is echoed by its expansive panoramic windows and lower belt lines, underscoring the openness of the interior. The height of the cabin is also optimised for premium comfort and convenience, making it ideal for both business and family use.
“Staria is Hyundai’s new people mover line-up that opens up a new mobility era,” said SangYup Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Hyundai Design. “Staria will provide a completely new experience and value proposition for customers through its unprecedented design features.”
Staria Premium, which will be available in select markets (it has not yet been announced whether Australia is one of them), takes mobility to the next level, sporting premium features and variant-exclusive finishes for a more luxurious look and feel.
Hyundai Motor will unveil more details regarding design features of Staria and Staria Premium in the coming weeks.
