Hyundai’s family-mover – the Staria – is set for a major midlife update, slated to debut in late 2025 or early 2026. The facelifted model is expected to launch first in the home market – South Korea, followed by other global markets including Europe, Middle East and Southeast Asia. When it comes India, the carmaker has no plan to bring in the Hyundai Starai family car. However, the MPV was showcased at this year’s Bharat Mobility Show in January.
What to expect?
The South Korean automaker has started testing the updated Staria, and one of its test mules was recently caught on camera in the Austrian Alps. The prototype was semi-camouflage, concealing most design changes; however, a few elements were still visible. The new Hyundai Starai carries the brand’s new design language while retaining the upright stance.
Spy images reveal that the updated model will feature a slightly revised front grille with a new pattern and a tweaked front bumper. The horizontally placed LED light bar remains unchanged, while the headlamps get new graphics. No dimensional changes are expected. The updated Staria will continue to measure 5,253mm in length, 1,997mm in width and 1,990mm in height with a 3,273mm long wheelbase.

Minor cabin updates:
Interior details of the new Hyundai Staria facelift are not available at this moment. However, it’s likely to receive minimal upgrades in the form of an updated infotainment system, improved materials and new features. The MPV’s existing model comes packed with an 8-inch touch display, fully automatic climate control, heated and ventilated seats, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, leather upholstery, power adjustable driver seat with lumbar support, LED ambient mood lighting, air filter and more.
Same engines:
The 2025 Hyundai Staria is likely to retain the existing engines. Globally, the MPV is available with multiple powertrain options – a 2.2L diesel, a 3.5L V6 petrol and a hybrid setup. However, these engines might be recalibrated to achieve better fuel efficiency and performance.
