New Delhi. Hyundai Motor Company has officially introduced its Staria Electric at the Brussels Motor Show. Its global debut reflects the company's ambitious plans to make large-size electric vehicles practical and affordable, especially in markets where MPVs are the preferred choice for everyday travel. It has a lithium-ion battery pack of 84 kWh. The biggest thing is that this is a 9 seater car. This means that 9 people can easily fit in it together and enjoy a comfortable ride.
Power and Performance
It works with a front-mounted electric motor, which gives maximum power of 218 PS and peak torque of 350 Nm. Power is routed to the front wheels and the electric drivetrain has been tuned for refinement, giving consistent power delivery in varying driving conditions, Hyundai says.
800-volt electrical architecture
The most striking technical feature of Staria Electric is its 800-volt electrical architecture, which provides low thermal stress with fast energy flow, allowing repeated fast charging without any impact on efficiency. In better DC charging conditions, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 20 minutes.
11 kW ac charger
For everyday use, it has an 11 kW AC charger, so that charging can be done easily at home or office. Hyundai estimates that the WLTP driving range will be up to 400 km on a single charge. The electric layout results in a flat floor and long wheelbase, making the cabin spacious with good headroom and legroom in all rows.
Perfect for big family
Large windows, low belt-line and high roofline bring natural light into the cabin, making the interior feel lounge-like. Hyundai will offer Staria Electric in two seating configurations to meet different needs. The seven-seater luxury variant will attract private owners and lifestyle buyers, while the nine-seater wagon version is for larger families, group travel and shuttle operations.
Adaptable cargo space
Both variants have adaptable cargo space, wide sliding doors and large tailgate opening, which improves accessibility. From the outside, the Staria Electric retains the model's signature one-curve silhouette, which is adorned with electric-specific styling elements. The traditional air intake has been replaced by a closed-off front facia, which makes the MPV look more clean and aerodynamic.
