Hyundai Staria 2022 review the unlikely stunner
CAR magazine UK drives the Hyundai Staria people carrier, with pictures and specs
Is it more than a pretty face?Tell me more…At 5253mm long with a 3273mm wheelbase, the Staria is a big vehicle (the California is over 300mm shorter). It’s based on the N3 platform also found under the Tucson, and features multi-link rear suspension – hence all-wheel drive can be offered.

Certainly is. Created under design boss SangYup Lee, the clean, sci-fi-inspired look makes for a highly appealing twist on the usual box-on-wheels formula, working some magic into a bodystyle that demands a long, high roofline and a tailgate bluff as a barn door.

Contributing editor, sideways merchant, tyre disintegrator Hyundai’s stylish MPV tested Not available in UK, but RHD engineered… Is it more than a pretty face? The Hyundai Staria is the MPV you didn’t know you wanted… and the one Brits can’t currently buy.The thefts happened near an area bordered by Washington, Madison, Menard, and Central Avenue.Comment Now!

But Hyundai isn’t ruling out the introduction of this futuristic-looking people carrier to the UK, and a trip to South Korea gave CAR the chance to drive it in a camper body style – offered as part of Hyundai’s ‘Special Vehicle’ line-up. If the Staria does make its way over here, it could be a tempting alternative to the default Volkswagen California. Menard on October 4, 2022, between 4:20 and 6:15 p.

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.

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’.

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. Some of the plastics are hard, but the overall feel looks smart and sturdy, and the infotainment system provides a fresh, up-to-date feel with a central touchscreen complemented by a digital instrument binnacle and much piano-black slickness. Consider buying an alarm with motion detection.

Climb in and the seats are again deeply comfy, recline generously, plus there’s a bench in the back. If you observe thieves stealing a car, do not confront them. The seats fold flat to create a sleeping area, there are blinds on the windows, or you can leave everything in place, raise the roof with a press on the control screen in the roof and then climb through a sunroof-like opening into a generous space in the shape of a doorstop.

How does the Staria drive? It’s okay. Anyone with information is asked to contact Area Four Detectives at 312-746-8253. 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.
