As a replacement for the iLoad van, South Korean automaker Hyundai has unveiled its Staria-Load model in Australia. Its bookings have already started. The vehicle has an eye-catching look and a 2/5-seater cabin with a host of features. Under the hood, it draws power from a 2.2-liter diesel engine linked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Here are more details.
The van is available in two color options
The Hyundai Staria-Load has a sloping bonnet with a wrap-around DRL and a large grille with in-set squarish headlights. On the sides, it is flanked by heated and power-folding mirrors and steel-colored wheels. A roof-mounted antenna, vertically-positioned taillights, and two doors are available on the rear. The four-wheeler is up for grabs in two shades: Shimmering Silver and Creamy White.
It runs on a 174hp, 2.2-liter engine
The Hyundai Staria-Load is powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine linked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox for handling transmission duties. The mill generates 174hp of maximum power and a peak torque of 430Nm.
The vehicle gets seven airbags and wireless charging pad
The Hyundai Staria-Load has a 2/5-seater cabin, featuring key-less entry, a wireless charging pad, USB ports, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It houses a 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment console with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has 4,935-liter cargo space.
