[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled its first MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) that offers a new mobility experience.


Hyundai Motor confirmed the name of its premium MPV model as ‘STARIA’ and revealed teaser images for the first time worldwide on the 11th.


Hyundai stated that STARIA was developed as an MPV embodying an innovative and futuristic image. It is said to provide a spatial experience most similar to the customized mobility (PBV) currently being developed as a future growth engine.


STARIA is a compound word combining ‘STAR,’ meaning star, and ‘RIA,’ meaning wave, inspired by the appearance of a spaceship floating among stars, which led to the choice of the name.


The teaser images released this time feature the premium model ‘STARIA Lounge’ 7-seater, characterized by a voluminous exterior and an interior design that maximizes a spacious and open feel.

The company emphasized that the high roof height, wide width, and long length maximize the sense of space, while the low beltline enhances interior openness, and the innovative design offers customers a new mobility experience.


The front features a large and wide radiator grille, thin and long daytime running lights (DRL) stretching across the body, and low-positioned headlamps, creating a high-tech image.


The smooth curves extending from the front to the rear of the vehicle evoke a spaceship, and the pixel-type rear combination lamps add a touch of luxury.
