Hyundai STARIA range gets a versatile Multicab variant
Hyundai’s newly launched STARIA multi-purpose vehicle range in South Africa has grown with the addition of the Multicab – a 5-seater van with a separate cargo area that adds a level of versatility which makes this an outstanding leisure vehicle, with the ability to carry large articles for commercial use.
The all-new STARIA, which arrived in South Africa in November 2021, features a futuristic design and delivers superior ride quality and a premium driving experience.
The STARIA’s debut furthers Hyundai Motor’s transformation as a Smart Mobility Solution Provider and embodies the company’s “inside-out” design methodology that emphasizes interior spaciousness and usability.
The Multicab joins three other STARIA variants in the South African range: the Luxury, Elite and Executive, with 7 to 11-seat configurations and various features and trim levels. A STARIA Panel Van will be added to the local range later in 2022.
“We have received numerous compliments and positive reviews after the initial STARIA launch in 2021, which confirmed the big step forward Hyundai has taken with this vehicle – it gives real meaning to ‘next level’. In only two months of sales it has captured 7% of its market segment for the year,” says Stanley Anderson, sales and operations director of Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
“The Multicab boasts many of the luxury features and the superior ride quality of its range siblings, but it combines the practicality of a five-seater vehicle with a large, secure and very useful separate cargo bay. Mountain bike riders, campers and other fans of such a leisure lifestyle will love this vehicle. On top of that, it can be used for commercial purposes too.”
Further standard luxury and convenience features of the STARIA Multicab include:
An air conditioner with automatic climate control;
Cruise control;
A multifunction steering wheel with remote control buttons for the infotainment centre and the cruise control;
Fold-away mirrors;
A wireless cell phone charging pad;
USB charging points for front seat occupants; and
Roof storage trays above the driver and front passenger.
Pricing The Hyundai STARIA Multicab is launched at a suggested retail price of R759 900, which includes a 7-year/200 000 km manufacturer warranty, roadside assistance for 7-years or 150 000 km, and a 6-year/90 000 km service plan.
