HYUNDAI Automotive South Africa has revealed the facelifted Staria.
The impressive facelift boasts more sophisticated cabin and upgraded infotainment technology to its distinctive premium multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).
The exterior got a comprehensive refresh, especially at the front with redesigned bumpers and radiator grilles.
The grille design has been optimized to improve cooling and aerodynamic performance. Also like the redesigned signature Horizontal Daytime Running Light, with the previous three-part treatment integrated into a cleaner, more cohesive light signature.
New wheel designs complete the exterior update, while the rear bumper garnish has also been revised.
Stanley Anderson, CEO of Hyundai Automotive South Africa, said the Staria was always a unique multi-purpose behicke for South Africans.
“This facelift strengthens that proposition, giving customers more technology, greater comfort and an even more distinctive vehicle without losing the versatility that makes Hyundai STARIA so appealing,” he said.
The infotainment and instrument displays have both grown from 10.25 inches to 12.3 inches, accompanied by a redesigned centre fascia and dashboard.
Under the bonnet, the South African-specification Hyundai Staria continues with a 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine producing 130 kW and 430 Nm and driving through an eight-speed automatic transmission. A fuel consumption figure of 8L/100 km is achievable.
