It is undeniable that the MPV of IKEA is now sought after, and there were only Buick GL8, Odyssey, alexandre markets, and last year there were more Toyota Syna, Hyundai Kustu and Kia Kahua models. However, compared with the hot sales of Toyota Xena, Korean players Hyundai Kusitu and Kia Kahua can be described as tepid, and in order to further seize market share, Hyundai may launch a new MPV model Staria. The car has been listed overseas, positioned higher than the Kustu, the shape is extremely sci-fi, and it offers a variety of seat layouts and two fuel power. A few days ago, Staria real cars have appeared in domestic parking lots, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before they are introduced.
Seeing the shape of the Staria, it is difficult to think that this is a traditional fuel MPV. The high-angle tilting windshield and the hood form an integrated design, and an LED daytime running light belt runs through the front of the car, bringing enough shocking technological futurism. Below is a large-mouth air intake grille, the interior of the black honeycomb structure, the two sides into the matrix light group, domineering and not lack of sci-fi atmosphere.
The side is the "big bread" that the MPV should have, but the side windows and tail windows are huge, accounting for almost half of the height of the car, which is a great help to the permeability of the carriage and the vision of the passengers in the car. The square tail shape is simple and atmospheric, the large size spoiler adds a sporty temperament, and the vertical arrangement of the tail light group in the parameter pixel style further enhances the atmosphere of science and technology.
Not only is the exterior styling avant-garde, Staria's interior design is also very innovative. The center console is equipped with a floating design that integrates a multimedia display and touch buttons, and a button-type gear shift mechanism below, which allows the middle floor of the front main co-driver to form a penetration, and reserves a large storage space for the armrest. The family-style four-frame multi-functional steering wheel shape is stable, the front is also equipped with a free-standing LCD dashboard, coupled with Nappa leather seats, the sense of luxury and technology in the car is quite good.
As for the most important space aspect of MPV models, hyundai Staria's length, width and height are 5253/1997/1990mm, and the wheelbase is 3273mm, which is larger than mainstream joint venture MPV such as Buick GL8 and Toyota Xena, and the space is naturally more advantageous. And Staria also provides 7-seater, 9-seater, 11-seater and other versions for consumers to choose, of which the 11-seat model adopts a four-row seat layout of 3+3+2+3, which can be described as the use of the interior space to the extreme. The seat layout of the 9-seat model is 2+2+2+3, and the second row of seats can be rotated 180 degrees, so that the second and third rows of passengers can communicate face-to-face, which is very suitable for business purposes.
The 7-seater model uses the traditional 2+2+3 seating layout, thanks to the slender body, whether it is a second or third row passenger can get a large space to sit. When the sliding doors open, there are two separate seats with aviation-grade headrests, armrests and leg rests, as well as support for one-touch lying flat, coupled with an oversized panoramic sunroof overhead, creating a luxurious experience that is not inferior to the first class of the aircraft. In fact, Staria also offers a 2-seat commercial version, and the huge storage space will make Staria an excellent "pull truck".
Finally, in terms of power, the Hyundai Staria is equipped with a 2.2T diesel engine and a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine, the former with a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 430 N·m; the latter should be the same as the Parristi engine, with a maximum power of 200 kW and a peak torque of 331 N·m. The drivetrain is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the diesel version can also choose a 6-speed manual transmission for better economy, and a four-wheel drive system is also available on high-end models. However, the diesel version will most likely not be introduced into the country.
On the whole, the comprehensive strength of modern Staria is still very strong, the sci-fi styling design can receive more people's attention, and a variety of seat layouts bring more practicality, and even use a 3.5L V6 engine, excellent product power is enough to make up for the lack of the brand. For reference, Hyundai Staria is currently listed in Australia and other countries, with a price range of 53,036 Australian dollars to 68,786 Australian dollars, about 250,000 to 320,000 yuan.
