STRAIGHT OUT OF STAR TREK

REVEALING NEW IMAGES of the 2022 Hyundai Staria offer a clear look at the people mover’s styling, which marries a futuristic streamlined look with the family-carrying dimensions and expansive interior required of a van.

The Staria will be offered in 7-, 9- and 11-seat configurations (the latter reportedly only in Korea), with the nine-seater equipped with 180-degree swivelling second-row seats that allow occupants to turn and interact with third-row passengers.

Opting for fewer passenger spaces with the seven-seater means that second-row occupants can be offered a one-touch relaxation control that delivers a more reclined position and long footrests for kicking back.
