Enhanced interior

To optimise both comfort and connectivity, the new STARIA Load has received a refreshed interior. This includes a new 12.3" Digital Multimedia Touchscreen, sleeker steering wheel and a redesigned cabin layout for an increased sense of space.

Distinctive Design

A bold new shape for business.

The new STARIA Load builds on what was already a distinct design, adding refreshing new elements, such as a sleeker front and redesigned front and rear lights. It’s more refined, more modern. But still that same tried-and-tested STARIA Load DNA.

4,935 litres of cargo space

Offering 4,935 litres of luggage space, the 2 seater STARIA Load gives you maximum hauling capacity – the cargo space dimensions let you carry three Euro pallets.

Forklift accessible

Highly accessible: You can use a forklift to load your cargo quickly and easily through the 870mm-wide sliding door or through the optional twin barn doors.

Overhead roof compartment

The STARIA Load features a handy roof overhead compartment allowing you to store all of your odds and ends when out on the road.

A sense of space, inside and out.

Designed for easy loading and unloading of tools and cargo, the all-new Staria Load offers maximum practicality as well as cargo space for 3 Euro palettes and forklift accessibility with the optional twin barn doors. It provides a cargo length of 2,500 mm and a cargo volume capacity of 4,935 litres (VDA).

Safety comes first.

The new STARIA Load features Hyundai SmartSense – our suite of advanced driver assistance systems designed to keep you and your business running.

Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist

Lane Following Assist

Forward Collision Avoidance

Smart Cruise Control

Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist

The Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance-Assist system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect if a vehicle is in your blind spot. When BCA activates, it will sound an alert and assists braking to prevent a collision.

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist

Turning into oncoming traffic at a road junction is made safer with the FCA front camera/radar system. As soon as your indicator is turned on, the system detects any oncoming obstacles such as vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians and alerts you to take extra care. If danger is imminent, it applies emergency braking to avoid an impact.

Lane Following Assist

The STARIA features Lane Following Assist (LFA). When activated, it keeps the car centred in its lane at speeds between 0 and 180 km/h on motorways and city streets.

Forward Collision Avoidance

The Forward Collision Avoidance system automatically brakes when it detects sudden braking by the car ahead or detects pedestrians or cyclists in your path.

Smart Cruise Control

Smart Cruise Control helps the driver maintain a safe speed on the highway. Also included is Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA).

Refined comfort

Available in Hybrid or Diesel

Hybrid

Developed to reduce fuel consumption without compromising on being fun to drive, the hybrid powertrain delivers a combined power output of 180 kW with 367 Nm of torque.

The beauty of a hybrid powertrain is that this strong performance doesn't come at the expense of efficiency with an impressive combined fuel consumption from 7.2L per 100 km.

Diesel

The tried and proven 2.2L 'R-Series' turbo-diesel engine offers 130 kW of power combined with a 430 Nm of torque.

With so much torque, the STARIA Load diesel makes easy work of towing and can haul an impressive 2,500 kg braked trailer.
