The 2025 Hyundai Staria has undergone minor changes, losing one of its safety features but gaining a handful of small tech upgrades.
It’s in showrooms now.
The Staria now goes without an active blind-spot assist system to prevent drivers from moving into an occupied lane, reverting to a more basic warning system.
Despite this omission, prices are unchanged, with petrol V6 examples starting from $49,500 before on-road costs while the turbo-diesel four-cylinder is priced from $52,500 before on-road costs.
Base Staria variants now have USB-C ports throughout (replacing the older USB-A outlets) and new-look badges, while the Elite and Highlander grades have been equipped with rain-sensing wipers and Hyundai’s Bluelink connected services.
There’s still no sign of the Hyundai Staria hybrid sold in Korea, despite this drivetrain now featuring in its Kia Carnival twin-under-the-skin.
The Kia Carnival continues to comfortably outsell the Staria in Australia. In the first five months of 2024, Kia sold 3279 Carnivals while Hyundai sold 511 Starias.
