STARIA Electric at a Glance
Hyundai STARIA Electric opens a new, fully electric chapter for Hyundai Motor’s MPV, placing exceptional roominess and everyday functionality at the centre of its concept. Designed to meet the needs of families, shuttle operators and active lifestyles alike, STARIA Electric brings zero-tailpipe-emission mobility into a segment where interior space, comfort and practical usability are key decision factors.
A generously proportioned cabin with a strong sense of openness and freedom of movement is at the core of STARIA Electric’s appeal. Its flat floor, wide interior dimensions and intelligently arranged seating create a lounge like atmosphere that allows passengers to relax and move with ease.
This spaciousness is enabled by Hyundai Motor’s ‘Inside Out’ design theme, which shapes the exterior around the cabin experience. The long body, low beltline and expansive glazing are not just design cues; they deliver outstanding visibility and exceptional spatial comfort. Large windows fill the cabin with natural light, reinforcing its open, welcoming character while supporting a clear, uncluttered layout.
STARIA Electric remains true to the core principles that define STARIA: a people-centered approach, high seating comfort and intuitive interior functionality. Combined with a high-performance electric powertrain and advanced 800-volt charging technology, the model translates these qualities into the era of electric mobility. As part of Hyundai Motor’s electrification strategy, STARIA Electric makes electric driving a practical, comfortable and genuinely usable solution for a wide range of customers.
Powertrain and Performance
From everyday commuting to long-distance travel, STARIA Electric combines quiet operation with confident performance. The 800-volt high-voltage system used in STARIA Electric, which is rare in this segment and already established in IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and IONIQ 9, enables rapid charging and consistent power delivery for predictable everyday use.
The electric drivetrain contributes to a calm and refined driving experience, with very low noise and vibration levels inside the cabin. Structural enhancements to the suspension and additional sound-absorbing materials further improve ride comfort and interior quietness, particularly on longer journeys or at motorway speeds.
Optimized front and rear suspension tuning enhance driving stability and ride quality, ensuring confident handling under varying load conditions. Together, these measures create a relaxed and predictable driving character that suits both private and professional use.
What is the core powertrain concept behind STARIA Electric?
STARIA Electric is equipped with an 84-kWh battery and a 160-kW electric motor driving the front wheels. The 800-volt electrical system allows high power flow with minimal heat generation, enabling repeated fast charging and reliable performance on extended journeys. Proven battery modules from Hyundai’s latest EVs contribute to durability and thermal efficiency.
