Hyundai Sime Darby Motors has officially unveiled the all-new 2021 Hyundai Staria here in Malaysia, which will serve as the replacement to the aging Grand Starex model it was carrying previously.
The Hyundai Staria will only be offered in one single seven-seater Premium variant at launch, priced from RM358,888 on the road, without insurance, and inclusive of the sales tax exemptions until the end of the year.
EXTERIOR
The Hyundai Staria is characterised by its futuristic, spaceship-like design, accented by its “One Curve silhouette” – a feature best experienced from the car’s side. Hyundai says that it’s inspired by the halo that illuminates Earth’s horizon during sunrise when viewed from space.
In terms of equipment, the Staria gets these as standard:
- LED headlights with integrated LED turn signals
- LED “Paramatric Pixels” tail lights
- full-width LED daytime-running lights with positioning lights strip
- 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels with accent colour
- Two accent colour choices: Dark Grey (standard), Tinted Brass Chrome (Creamy White, Abyss Black Pearl, Shimmering Silver Metallic)
- Seven exterior colour choices: Creamy White, Graphite Grey Metallic, Moonlight Blue Pearl, Abyss Black Pearl, Shimmering Silver Metallic, Olivine Grey Metallic, Gaia Brown Pearl
PERFORMANCE
The Hyundai Staria will only be offered with a 2.2-litre turbodiesel mill at launch, taken from the Santa Fe SUV, but detuned for enhanced comfort.
- Engine: 2,199 cc, turbocharged inline-four, diesel
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
