Hyundai Motor Company introduces the new STARIA Electric, another innovation from the South Korean manufacturer in the field of multi-purpose vehicles. The STARIA Electric combines zero-emission mobility with a people-oriented design, setting new standards for a modern lifestyle.

“Hyundai is continuing to expand its range of electric vehicles to meet everyday mobility needs in Europe. The STARIA Electric brings our EV expertise to a vehicle that many customers already know and love. It combines the impressive space and flexibility of the STARIA with a new fast-charging system and a redesigned interior to offer practical, efficient electric mobility for real-world use across Europe,” says Xavier Martinet, Präsident und CEO von Hyundai Motor Europe.

The new Hyundai STARIA Electric at a glance

The STARIA Electric marks the beginning of a new, fully electric chapter for Hyundai Motor in the multi-purpose vehicle segment, where exceptional spaciousness and everyday practicality are key. The STARIA Electric is designed to meet the needs of families, shuttle operators, and customers with active lifestyles alike. It brings zero-emission mobility to a segment where spacious interiors, comfort, and practical usability are key decision factors.

At the heart of the STARIA Electric is Hyundai’s signature interior design, which results in a generously proportioned interior that conveys a sense of openness and freedom of movement. A flat floor, generous interior dimensions, and intelligently arranged seats create a lounge-like atmosphere where passengers can relax and move around easily. The interior can be conveniently adapted to changing requirements – from daily commuting and family outings to professional passenger transport and leisure activities.

This strong focus on interior spaciousness is a direct result of Hyundai’s “inside-out” design concept, which prioritizes the passenger experience in the cabin and then derives the exterior design of the vehicle from this. The long wheelbase, low window line, and generous glazing are not just design elements, but functional requirements for excellent all-round visibility and a feeling of spaciousness. Large windows allow plenty of daylight into the interior and emphasize the open, inviting character of the cabin, while also ensuring a clear, uncluttered layout.

The STARIA Electric remains true to the basic principles of the STARIA: a human-centered approach, high seating comfort, and intuitive interior functionality. Combined with a powerful electric drive and advanced 800-volt charging technology, the model carries these qualities into the age of electric mobility. As part of Hyundai’s electrification strategy, the STARIA Electric offers a practical, comfortable, and all-electric driving experience to a diverse range of customer groups.
