Hyundai's STARIA takes a distinctive approach to large passenger transport, combining sleek, futuristic styling with a spacious cabin and a noticeably more upmarket feel than many van-derived alternatives.

Hyundai STARIA Electric
The STARIA Electric brings Hyundai's latest EV technology to its largest passenger vehicle, with an 84 kWh battery, rapid 800V charging and seating for up to nine people.
