- Hyundai Staria is sold in global markets as a family mover and can accommodate up to 11 passengers.
Korean auto giant Hyundai Motor showcased the Staria luxury MPV at the ongoing Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 on Friday, January 17. The MPV made its global debut back in 2021. This is the first time that the carmaker has brought a large luxury van to India. The Staria is sold in global markets, including South East Asia, as a people’s mover both in the passenger vehicle and commercial segments. It rivals large vans like Toyota Vellfire among others. Hyundai is unlikely to launch the Staria MPV in India anytime soon.
The Staria luxury MPV is being showcased by Hyundai Motor at Hall number 4 of the Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. One can catch a glimpse of the Staria MPV at the Hyundai Pavilion during the six-day event between January 17 and January 22.
