Hyundai’s business in Thailand is focused on the MPV sector, with the Starex/H-1 having long been the company’s sole offering in the Land of Smiles. It’s no surprise, then, that our northern neighbours are one of the first markets outside South Korea to receive the new Staria, which was introduced there on Friday.
As expected, the Staria arrives in 11-seater standard (read: non-Premium) form, with S and SEL variants on offer. Pricing ranges from 1,729,000 baht (RM222,100) for the base model to 1,999,000 baht (RM256,800), which is quite a steep hike from the H-1 that starts from 1,329,000 baht (RM170,800).
But the Staria does come with some significant upgrades over the old model, not least of which concerns the styling. The futuristic space shuttle-inspired design incorporates some neat features such as the full-width LED daytime running lights, large body-coloured grille with integrated LED headlights, smooth body sides and slim vertical taillights (Parametric Pixel LED items on the SEL).
The wheels are also different between the two variants – the S gets silver 17-inch alloy wheels, while the SEL receives 18-inch rollers in a flat-faced two-tone design. Inside, the cabin is just as modern as the outside, with freestanding displays, clustered controls and a full-width air vent design.
Both variants get a digital instrument cluster, but whereas the S has a 4.2-inch multi-info display sitting between two LCD readouts, the SEL gains a full 10.25-inch colour screen. The infotainment system is the same across the range, featuring an eight-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, although the SEL is the only one to come with a Qi wireless smartphone charger.
Other standard features include keyless entry, push-button start, automatic air conditioning with separate rear controls, fabric upholstery, rear side window sunshades, a reverse camera, six speakers and seven USB ports dotted throughout the cabin. The SEL adds a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, LED interior lighting and a 360-degree camera.
Safety-wise, all models come with six airbags, stability control and ISOFIX child seat anchors on two seats. The...
