Hyundai Staria to be showcased at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025
Hyundai Staria, the Hyundai equivalent of the Kia Carnival, will be showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Post its global launch in 2021, this will mark the debut of the Staria in India. While it will be showcased, it is unlikely that the Hyundai Staria will be launched in India, at least for the time being. While the Hyundai Staria underpins the same Hyundai-Kia N3 platform as the recently launched Kia Carnival, the Hyundai MPV looks radically different from the Kia counterpart. To begin with, the Staria features a typical van-like design with an angular and tall stance. However, the low beltline, large glasshouse and pixel lighting elements do make it look quite unique.
