Overview
Summary
Hyundai Staria, the seven-seater version got its debut back in 2021, and recently Malaysia has gotten a newer version, the Hyundai Staria 10-seater.
Designed as a people carrier and looking like it came from the future, the Korean maker’s MPV is now bigger and much more luxurious inside.
The brand’s official distributor, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM), is offering the Staria 10-seater in three variants, Lite at MYR 179,888, Plus at MYR 196,888, and Max at MYR 209,888.
Each purchase is covered by a two-year/50,000 KM standard warranty. Opting for the extended warranty (MYR 10,000), upgrades it to a five-year/300,000 KM and three-year/50,000 KM free service plan.
Exterior colours e.g., Abyss Black Pearl and Creamy White for all variants, the Lite adds on Shimmering Silver Metallic, and the Max adds on Graphite Grey Metallic and Moonlight Blue Pearl.

Front View
Luxury is the emphasis, and it comes with a futuristic design and unique styling. Adoption of the one curve gesture really makes the overall silhouette pop.
The front showcases a one-piece-like bumper that features a large rectangle-shaped, wide nett-like designed full-face grille.
Paired to the light strip positioned at the front top edge of the hood, and the square light housings located at the sides of the bumper, add a premium and futuristic finishing touch to the front fascia.
Rear View
The back layout has a squarish curved profile with clean, smooth surfaces covering the boot, extending further its unique one-piece kind of silhouette.
Plus, fitted with the minimalist roof-edge spoiler, and paired with the Staria script at the centre of the tailgate makes it look very premium.
