Gaurav Vashisht, head of sales and marketing at Hyundai Nigeria, said the car’s comfort and an added guarantee of safety and peace of mind for its target buyers, motivated Hyundai Nigeria to introduce STARIA into the country.
Strikingly futuristic, STARIA’s sleek exterior design uses discreet lines for maximum visual impact. Defined by a single fluid curve running from front to back, it is inspired by the halo that illuminates Earth’s horizon during sunrise when viewed from space.
Buyers are served with choices of colours, ranging from Olivine Gray Metallic to Moonlight Blue Pearl, Graphite Gray Metallic, Shimmering Silver Metallic, Creamy White, Abyss Black Pearl and Dynamic Yellow
Inspired by cruise ship lounge design, its interior provides a luxurious and relaxed space, welcoming occupants with a wonderful feeling of openness and smart technologies that make driving and commuting much easier.
The MPV’s cockpit is built with high-tech flair, centred on the brilliant 10.25″ centre screen. It supports phone mirroring with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Powered by a Smartstream a 3.5-liter, 272 hp engine mated onto a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic gearbox, producing 331 Nm (Newton Meter) of torque, the 2024 STARIA can, from take-off, hit 100km per hour in 8.9 seconds.
“As applicable to every Hyundai, the STARIA is built to the highest possible quality standards, backed up with a three-year unlimited mileage warranty to enable the owner to enjoy the vehicle.
“And, like other models on sale across the country, Hyundai STARIA MPV also benefits from the over 30 years of nationwide aftersales network facilities of Stallion Group, of which Hyundai Nigeria is a subsidiary,” Vashisht added.
