Hyundai Staria luxury MPV showcased at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo — Vellfire-rival

The Indian automotive market has recently seen resounding success of super expensive luxury vans such as the Toyota Vellfire and Kia Carnival. Seeing this sparking demand and to gauge further customer interest, Hyundai has showcased its own version of a luxury MPV in India — the Hyundai Staria — at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025. Here’s what makes this van special.

2025 Hyundai Staria 

The Staria has been on sale for some time now in certain global markets, and Hyundai has showcased the same at this year’s Delhi Motor Show. Globally, it is available in multiple seating configurations including 7-seater, 9-seater, and 11-seater options. The van showcased in India was the more premium 7-seater version.

Staria design and styling

The Staria looks like a typical van on the whole, with a brick-like silhouette, albeit with a sloping front face. It features a large greenhouse that alleviates the sense of space on the inside. On the front, the Staria gets a thin LED lightbar, and the rear gets two long vertical lightbars. The ORVMs are rather large-sized and should provide a good view of the rear.
