US4.V3 MY25 Elite Wagon 8st 5dr Spts Auto 8sp 2WD 3.5i With its curvaceous body and low belt line, the Hyundai Staria people-mover is likened by some to a land-bound spaceship. As a sibling to the Hyundai Staria Load commercial van, it's at once spacious enough to accommodate eight passengers and tote a reasonable payload. And the on-demand AWD diesel version has the basic potential to remain steady on slippery roads. Available in Elite and Highlander guise, the eight-speed auto Staria offers either an AWD 130kW/430Nm 2.2-litre diesel or, in front-drive form, a 200kW/331Nm 3.5-litre petrol V6. A solid lineup of safety technology - high and low-speed autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian avoidance, lane-keep assist, front and rear cross-traffic alert, bird's eye view cameras etc - is standard on all variants.
