Hyundai announces Staria Load Premium

The 2023 Hyundai Staria Load range has been expanded with the addition of a new flagship Premium variant bringing a wealth of extra creature comforts to the Korean brand’s mid-size commercial van line-up.

Due in local showrooms later this month, the Staria Load Premium is priced at $51,240 plus on-road costs and will be available exclusively in a two-seat liftback configuration, with the only option being premium paint ($695).

The $5500 price premium over the standard two-seat Staria Load is accompanied by the inclusion of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, keyless entry and start, smart power tailgate, a 10.25-inch infotainment system with native satellite-navigation, LED headlights, LED taillights, an LED light bar, 17-inch alloy wheels and automatic climate control.

Other standard equipment highlights shared with the base model include wireless phone charging, surround-view monitor, leather gear lever and steering wheel, full-size spare wheel, smartphone mirroring, drive modes, tyre pressure monitoring and adaptive cruise control.

The Hyundai Group’s widespread blind-spot view monitor and high-beam assist have also been added to the mix on the Premium, thereby elevating the Staria Load’s segment-leading safety credentials to an even higher level.
