Hyundai Motor Company has officially revealed the Staria Electric MPV at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, positioning it as the brand's premium zero-emission people-mover. The model combines advanced electric technology with a strong emphasis on passenger comfort and practicality. The vehicle is scheduled to launch in Korea and Europe during the first half of 2026, with plans to expand to additional markets thereafter.
The Staria Electric adopts an 'inside-out' design philosophy that prioritises interior space and comfort before shaping the exterior. Its elongated body, lowered beltline, and extensive glass surfaces create a bright and spacious cabin with excellent outward visibility. Distinctive electric vehicle features include a sealed front fascia, smooth body panels, and a sleek horizontal light strip that emphasises its modern identity. Wide sliding doors and a large rear hatch enhance accessibility for families and commercial users.
Inside, the cabin features a horizontal layout dominated by dual 12.3-inch displays, supported by Hyundai's next-generation ccNC infotainment system with over-the-air update capability. Two seating configurations are offered at launch: a 7-seater Luxury variant with generous legroom, adjustable seats, and 435 litres of luggage capacity, and a 9-seater Wagon version with sliding and foldable seats providing up to 1,303 litres of cargo space.

The powertrain consists of an 84 kWh battery paired with a 160 kW (215 bhp) electric motor, delivering a WLTP-certified range of up to 400 km. The vehicle utilises an 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast DC charging, enabling a 10-80 per cent charge in approximately 20 minutes. An 11 kW AC charger provides convenient options for home or workplace charging, ensuring practicality for both long-distance travel and daily use.
Although the ICE-powered Staria was displayed at India's Auto Expo 2025 to assess market interest, the electric variant is not immediately planned for the Indian market. However, Hyundai has not ruled out a future introduction as demand for premium electric MPVs continues to grow in the region. The Staria Electric represents Hyundai's commitment to delivering spacious, comfortable, and technologically advanced zero-emission transport solutions.
