The 2026 Hyundai Staria Petrol is an eight-seater people mover designed for families and small operators needing practical, affordable transport with genuine towing capacity.

One thing to consider: the 3.5-litre petrol engine delivers modest fuel economy at 10.5L/100km, so budget accordingly if you're doing high-mileage work.

The 2026 Hyundai Staria Elite Diesel AWD is a practical eight-seat people mover designed for families and fleet operators who value spacious, all-weather capability, delivering genuine 2500kg towing capacity and genuine all-terrain grip through its AWD system. Its standout strength is the 2.2-litre diesel engine's efficiency, returning 8.2L/100km combined with a competitive 430Nm of torque that makes it genuinely capable for Australian conditions without sacrificing real-world fuel economy.

The Staria Lounge Hybrid is the flagship grade of Hyundai's Staria people-mover range and the first Staria offered with electrified power in Australia. It pairs a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 54kW electric motor for 180kW of combined system output, sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic. A small 1.49kWh battery, topped up by regenerative braking, lets it run on electric power at low speed and trim fuel use compared with the petrol V6 and diesel grades. As the seven-seat Lounge flagship it adds second-row captain's chairs, Nappa leather, heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic roof and the full suite of driver-assist tech on top of the standard Staria's spacious, van-derived cabin. Australian fuel-consumption, CO2 and pricing figures had not been published on Hyundai Australia's spec sheet at the time of entry.
