- Expected to make its global debut in late 2025 or early 2026
- Heavy design changes to be incorporated
The Hyundai Staria facelift has been spied testing in the Austrian Alps. Our source managed to capture first images of the refreshed Staria undergoing road tests, showcasing significant changes to its front-end styling. The biggest updates are expected to be at the front, aligning the MPV with Hyundai’s new design language.
Spy shots indicate that Hyundai has reworked the grille, which now appears to feature a fresh pattern that adds a more dynamic character. Additionally, a redesigned front bumper contributes to a more sculpted and aggressive stance. Another notable change in headlight graphics. While the signature horizontal LED light bar remains, the internal structure of the headlights seems to have been updated for a more modern look.
While the exterior facelift is the main highlight, Hyundai could also introduce minor tweaks to the interior. We might see updated materials, new features, and an improved infotainment system to keep the Staria competitive in the premium MPV segment.
Under the hood, the current Staria lineup offers a variety of powertrains, including a 2.2-litre diesel, 3.5-litre V6 petrol, and a hybrid variant. While no major mechanical changes are confirmed yet, Hyundai could fine-tune the engines for better efficiency and performance. Additionally, there is a speculation that Hyundai may introduce a hybrid variant to align with the brand’s electrification strategy.
The Staria facelift is expected to make its global debut in late 2025 or early 2026. Given Hyundai’s strategy, the updated model will likely roll out first in South Korea before reaching international markets, including Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Europe.
