The Hyundai Staria is the newest MPV on the South African market, offering an extensive equipment list at a starting price of R789,900.
This new people carrier is available in both 9-seater and 11-seater layouts, with three specification grades on offer – Executive, Elite, and Luxury.
Every Staria, no matter its price, offers high-end features such as automatic climate control, artificial leather seats, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, a wireless charger, and an 8-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Higher-end models also come with adaptive cruise control, automatic LED lights, keyless entry and start, a Bose surround sound system, a dual sunroof, seat heating and ventilation, individual chairs for the second row, and a full Nappa leather upholstery.
The entire Staria range is fitted with a host of driver assistance systems, too, including all-round parking sensors, a reverse camera, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear seat exit alert.
In the 9-seater Elite and Luxury specifications, you also get pre-collision avoidance assistant, blind-spot collision avoidance assist, lane follow assist, and forward collision avoidance assistant.
Powering the line-up is a 2.2-litre, turbo-diesel engine that generates 130kW and 430Nm – connected to an eight-speed “shift-by-wire” automatic transmission.
This allows the Staria to reach a top speed of 185km/h while consuming fuel at a rate of 8.7l/100km.
