The 2025 Hyundai Staria has undergone updates that include both additions and reductions in features, alongside a price increase across the model range. The people-mover now starts at $49,500 before on-road costs, reflecting a $500 rise from previous pricing.
A significant change in the 2025 update is the replacement of the blind-spot collision avoidance assist with a simpler blind-spot warning system, attributed to a production change.
The revised blind-spot feature no longer supports brake or steering interventions and instead relies solely on auditory and visual alerts to warn the driver of potential hazards.
This change occurs despite the model maintaining its five-star ANCAP safety rating.
The update also introduces technological enhancements such as USB-C ports replacing USB-A outlets and the addition of rain-sensing wipers in higher-spec models.
The Elite and Highlander variants now come with a newly designed key fob and five years of complimentary access to Hyundai’s Bluelink smartphone application.
This app provides functionalities like remote unlocking, vehicle tracking, and cabin temperature pre-conditioning.
Engine options remain unchanged with the petrol variant featuring a 3.5-litre V6 engine, and the diesel variant a 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
The fuel consumption is reported at 10.5L/100km for the petrol engine and 8.2L/100km for the diesel engine.
Market performance data indicates the Hyundai Staria is outsold by its competitor, the Kia Carnival, by a significant margin in the Australian market.
