Design & Presence

The Staria arrives like a compact spaceship, trading a conventional van face for a smooth, pill‑shaped body and a full‑width glazed front that gives it a distinctive, futuristic presence. At about 5.25 m long, 1.99 m wide and nearly 2.0 m tall it dominates the kerb and needs careful parking in tight city streets. The design choice pays off in visibility and interior volume, but it also makes the Staria unmistakable— and slightly polarising— on urban roads. From a buyer's point of view the look signals practicality and intent: this is a people‑carrier that prefers function with a futuristic twist.

Interior & Usability

Inside the Staria the loftier roof and expansive windscreen create a light, airy cabin that feels more lounge than van, with sliding doors making rear access easy for children or frequent entries. Seating can be arranged for 7 or 9 passengers, and the cabin materials balance hard‑wearing plastics with softer trims where occupants touch most, which is sensible for regular family or shuttle use. The current powertrain on offer is the 1.6 T‑GDI HEV full hybrid automatic front‑wheel drive producing 225 hp and rated at 7.6 L/100 km, a specification that should be mentioned when weighing equipment and efficiency. Practical details such as multiple cupholders, adjustable seats and decent storage bins make daily life easier, though expect some van‑like switchgear in places.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Practicality is the Staria's core strength: with its high roof and long wheelbase it swallows people and luggage with little fuss. Cargo volume varies widely depending on seating and folding, running roughly from about 117 to 831 litres with seats in place and expanding to roughly 431 to 1,303 litres when seats are folded or removed, which translates to genuine weekend or ferry‑boot capacity for most families. A payload of around 605–775 kg and a 65‑litre tank add flexibility for longer trips or light commercial use, while the curb weight near 2,275–2,345 kg explains why it feels substantial on the move. In practice that means strollers, suitcases and sports gear fit without acrobatics, and the Staria can double as a people mover, holiday‑hauler or a relaxed mobile office for up to nine.

Driving & Handling

Driving the Staria leans toward comfort rather than engagement: the hybrid powertrain offers smooth, immediate low‑end torque courtesy of 367 Nm, but the mass and tall body limit agility. Acceleration to 100 km/h in about 10.2 seconds is adequate for motorway overtakes and merging, though the top speed is capped near 167 km/h so high‑speed flexibility is modest. Steering feels light and the ride soaks up bumps well, making long‑distance cruising effortless, but expect body roll and a boat‑like sense in tighter corners. For buyers prioritising calm cabin manners and easy city driving rather than sharp handling, the Staria's setup is sensible and reassuring.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Hyundai quotes combined consumption of about 7.6 L/100 km for the hybrid Staria, which on a full 65‑litre tank suggests a theoretical range approaching 850 km between fill‑ups under mixed driving. Real‑world economy will be better around town thanks to hybrid assistance and stop‑start behaviour, while long motorway runs will push average consumption higher. CO2 output at about 172 g/km places it in a middling efficiency band for large people‑carriers, meaning tax and fleet running costs should be factored in for company buyers. Overall the hybrid setup delivers a useful balance between flexibility and efficiency for those who rarely need full van power but want lower fuel usage on urban trips.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Staria's electronics package leans toward practical convenience with modern infotainment, smartphone integration and clear displays that keep everyday tasks simple and intuitive. Driver assistance typically includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping support, blind‑spot monitoring and parking aids, which reduce stress on busy commutes or motorway runs. A 360‑degree camera and parking sensors are useful on this big vehicle, turning awkward manoeuvres into straightforward exercises for less confident drivers. Overall the tech focuses on making life easier rather than dazzling with gimmicks, which matches the Staria's people‑carrier purpose.

Who Is It For?

The Staria suits families, shuttle operators and small businesses needing flexible seating for 7 or 9 passengers and generous luggage capacity without stepping up to a heavy commercial van. Buyers who prize cabin space, comfort and hybrid economy over sporty handling will find the Staria a compelling, practical choice for long school runs, airport transfers or holiday trips. Those wanting compact city cars or spirited driving should look elsewhere, but for anyone prioritising people‑carrying and sensible running costs the Staria is a strong, well‑equipped contender.
