Hyundai STARIA Electric

Seven or nine seats, a flat floor and an 84 kWh battery are the outline Hyundai gives for the new STARIA Electric on its UK site. The range quoted is up to 248 miles, and the small print matters here: Hyundai says official technical data and range are pending final homologation, that figures can differ between trims, and that UK specification may vary.

800V and 400V at the same charging stop

The STARIA Electric combines 400V and 800V charging, which Hyundai presents as a way of using a different charger if one type is occupied at a station. Its explanation of the higher voltage is that it allows charging at lower current, cutting resistance, energy loss and heat, and that this can shorten charging times, particularly on a 350 kW charger. No charging time in minutes is given on the page read for this listing.

Rows of seats for passengers or executives

Buyers choose between the 9-seater and a 7-seater, with an executive-style LUXURY version offered in the smaller layout. Luggage capacity reaches 435 litres, and the seating can be rearranged around the flat floor that the electric drivetrain makes possible. Every one of the three rows has USB-C charging ports, including 100-watt outlets, which suits shuttle and airport work as much as family use. A 12-speaker Bose sound system with subwoofers is listed among the equipment.

Screens and driver assistance

A widescreen 12.3 inch display combines the instrument cluster and the infotainment system in the driver's line of sight. Hyundai Smart Sense is the name for the driver assistance package, which uses cameras and radar to watch the surroundings in town and on poorly lit rural roads. Prices had not been stated on the highlights page when it was read.
