"STARIA is Hyundai's new MPV lineup crafted with the 'inside-out' design approach that has surely opened up a new mobility era for all," said SangYup Lee,Executive Vice President,Head of Hyundai Global Design Center. "Our design team has put their passion into this product,working closely with our world-class modelers and engineers to make the dream come true."

STARIA boasts a strikingly futuristic and mysterious exterior that resembles a space shuttle. A single stroke running from front to rear is reminiscent of the curve of light that illuminates the Earth's horizon at sunrise when viewed from space.

The cruise ship-inspired interior delivers a luxurious look and unique atmosphere that focuses on the driver's convenience and passengers' comfort. The lowered beltlines and panoramic side windows improve overall visibility and create a feeling of openness. This sense of spaciousness,inspired by traditional Korean 'hanok' architecture,allows passengers to feel as if the outside scenes are an extension of the vehicle interior.

Since its launch last year,STARIA has won several accolades for its design excellence and product innovation. STARIA received the honor in the transportation category of the 2021 GOOD DESIGN Awards and was recognized in the 'Best Cars 2022' readers' poll organized by Germany's auto motor und sport magazine.
