2027 Hyundai Staria price and specs: Hybrid added with tech, styling update A hybrid powertrain will be added to the popular Staria people mover, among numerous other detail tweaks from June this year. Hyundai has confirmed Australian details for the facelifted Staria people mover for Model Year 2027, with a hybrid option and a new flagship seven-seat Lounge grade. The updated Staria gains mild styling changes and new interior technology for 2027, including a digital key function, updated infotainment software, and new luxury features in top-grade models. Prices start from $54,300 plus on-road costs for the entry-level 'Staria' in petrol V6 and turbo-diesel forms, up $3800 for the former and $800 for the latter. There is now a $20,000 gap to the new top-of-the-range Staria Lounge, starting at $73,740 plus on-roads, as the previous Elite and Highlander grades have been discontinued. The Lounge is a seven-seater, with second-row 'captain's chairs' with power recline functions, heating in the first two rows, and unique styling, including different 18-inch wheels, tweaked front bumper, and chrome door handles. The Staria Lounge will be available solely with Hyundai's 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, producing 180kW in Staria guise and matched with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
