Something exciting is coming to the Hyundai range. The new Hyundai STARIA Electric is set to bring all-electric driving to a vehicle designed around one thing above all else: space.
The Hyundai STARIA first debuted in 2021, replacing the previous H-1/iLoad generation in many markets. It was launched as a highly flexible MPV and van, with configurations ranging from 2 to 11 seats and, depending on market, offered with both a 2.2-litre CRDi diesel and a 3.5-litre petrol engine.
Now, STARIA is entering a new chapter: the forthcoming STARIA Electric brings the same focus on space, flexibility and passenger comfort into the electric era, with an 84 kWh battery, 218 PS electric motor, 800V rapid charging and 7- or 9-seat configurations. Hyundai UK currently lists it as “Coming soon”, with a projected range of up to 248 miles.
So, whether you're looking for a versatile family vehicle, a comfortable way to transport customers and colleagues, or a practical solution for your business or fleet, STARIA Electric could offer a completely new way to travel.
With the STARIA Electric coming soon, now is the ideal time to find out more and make sure you're among the first to hear when further UK details become available.
Electric power meets exceptional space
STARIA Electric is Hyundai's new all-electric multi-purpose vehicle, designed to combine the benefits of electric driving with the flexibility required by modern families and businesses.
With an 84 kWh battery and a driving range of up to 248 miles, STARIA Electric is designed to make longer journeys possible without compromising on the space and versatility expected from a large people carrier.
And when it is time to recharge, its 800V charging technology can provide rapid charging capability, with Hyundai quoting approximately 20 minutes for a 10–80% charge under suitable conditions.
For customers making the move to electric for the first time, that's an important combination: plenty of space for passengers and luggage, useful range and the ability to recharge quickly when travelling further afield.
Seven or nine seats – you choose
One of the biggest attractions of STARIA Electric is its flexibility. Hyundai will offer a choice of 7-seat and 9-seat configurations, allowing the vehicle to suit very different lifestyles and requirements.
The 7-seat Luxury version is aimed particularly at customers who want a premium, spacious experience for family and leisure travel, while the 9-seat Wagon provides additional passenger capacity for larger families, group travel and shuttle applications.
There's also useful luggage capacity, with Hyundai quoting up to 435 litres, depending on seating configuration and use.
That could make STARIA Electric particularly appealing for families who regularly travel with several passengers, need space for holidays and sporting equipment, or simply don't want to compromise when it comes to passenger comfort.
A compelling choice for businesses
STARIA Electric isn't just a family vehicle. For businesses, it could open up some exciting possibilities.
Think about the number of organisations that need to move people every day: hotels, airport transfer companies, private-hire operators, care organisations, schools, sports clubs, hospitality businesses and corporate transport providers.
For these customers, STARIA Electric offers the potential to combine passenger capacity with the benefits of an all-electric powertrain.
The 9-seat configuration could be particularly interesting for businesses that regularly transport groups, while the 7-seat Luxury version could provide a more premium solution for executive or hospitality use.
For fleet operators considering the transition to electric vehicles, STARIA Electric is therefore a model worth keeping firmly on the radar.
Designed around the people inside
Hyundai has taken an "inside-out" approach to the design of STARIA Electric, starting with the interior space and shaping the exterior around it.
The result is a spacious cabin with a flat floor, generous headroom and legroom, wide-opening sliding doors and flexible seating arrangements.
It's also packed with technology designed to make journeys more comfortable.
A 12.3-inch widescreen digital display, USB-C charging points across all three rows and, on applicable specifications, a 12-speaker BOSE premium sound system are among the features designed to keep passengers connected and entertained.
For longer journeys, the combination of a quiet electric powertrain and spacious interior could make STARIA Electric a particularly relaxing way to travel.
Technology that works for you
STARIA Electric also brings Hyundai's latest technology to the large MPV segment.
Hyundai SmartSense provides a range of advanced driver assistance systems designed to support the driver in everyday situations, including technologies such as Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Surround View Monitor and Highway Driving Assist.
The vehicle also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), allowing the battery to supply power to compatible electrical equipment. Hyundai's European specification quotes up to 3.5 kW of V2L capability.
For businesses, this could be particularly useful when working away from a fixed power source. For families, it could provide an extra source of power when enjoying days out, camping or travelling.
Is STARIA Electric right for you?
If you're a private customer, STARIA Electric could be an ideal choice if you need space for a large family without wanting to move away from electric driving.
If you're a business customer, it could be an opportunity to rethink how you transport people while moving towards a more electrified fleet.
And if you're already operating a multi-seat vehicle or people carrier, STARIA Electric could be worth considering when your next replacement cycle arrives.
