2026 Hyundai Staria Lounge 2WD.

The 2026 Hyundai Staria Lounge Hybrid takes the practical people mover in a more sophisticated direction, combining a spacious seven-seat cabin with a hybrid powertrain and a high level of cabin technology. Its futuristic exterior design is particularly distinctive in Abyss Black, while the wagon body provides the broad access and flexible interior layout expected of a vehicle designed to carry passengers comfortably.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre turbocharged hybrid system producing 132 kW and 265 Nm, paired with a six-speed sports automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The hybrid layout is intended to make everyday driving smoother and more efficient, with the vehicle listed at 6.5 litres per 100 km. Drive modes including Eco, Comfort, Smart and Sport allow the driving response to be adjusted to different conditions, while cruise control with stop-and-go functionality adds convenience in changing traffic.

Inside, the Lounge specification places emphasis on passenger comfort. The seven-seat arrangement includes second-row captain's chairs, with heated seating for the second row and power front seats. The listing also specifies leather-appointed seating, privacy curtains and separate ventilation for the rear passengers. Two-zone climate control at the front is complemented by rear climate control, roof-mounted vents and additional floor-mounted ventilation for the third row, helping the large cabin remain usable across all seating positions.

The Staria's packaging is designed to make access and loading straightforward. Dual power sliding doors provide convenient entry to the second row, while the power tailgate simplifies access to the rear cargo area. The second- and third-row seats can fold, and the third row has a tip-up and slide function, allowing the interior to be adapted between passenger carrying and luggage space. A full-size alloy spare wheel, cargo tie-down points and a load protection net add useful practical detail.

Technology is centred around a 12.3-inch display screen with satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. A second 12.3-inch digital instrument display presents driving information ahead of the driver, while a Bose sound system, Bluetooth multi-connection, audio streaming and wireless device charging broaden the vehicle's everyday usability. The feature list also includes a digital rear-view mirror, around-view monitoring, front and rear parking distance control, a reversing camera and a front-view camera to improve visibility when manoeuvring.

Safety equipment includes Hyundai SmartSense technologies such as forward collision-avoidance assist, junction assist, cyclist and pedestrian recognition, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, lane following assist and lane-keeping assist. Highway integrated assist, driver attention warning, exit warning and a front-centre airbag are also listed, alongside electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist and multiple airbags.

With zero kilometres displayed and new-vehicle status, this Staria Lounge Hybrid presents a highly equipped alternative for drivers seeking generous passenger space without moving to a conventional large SUV format. Its combination of flexible seating, rear-cabin comfort, connected technology and hybrid driveline gives the vehicle a broad range of practical strengths.

Other highlights include Odometer: 0km; Transmission: 6 Speed Sports Automatic; Drive train: Front Wheel Drive; Engine or motor: 1.6L; Doors: 4; Seats: 7.
