The 2024 Hyundai Staria range of configurations is currently priced from $30,950.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Hyundai Staria resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: The Staria Load has good build quality, refinement, performance and pricing. In Premium specification, it also offers numerous desirable goodies that make it one of the best-equipped and sharpest-looking one-tonne vans on the market. For some buyers, depending on their requirements, it offers a compelling alternative to the ubiquitous HiAce.Â

The 2024 Hyundai Staria carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Hyundai Staria 2024 prices range from $36,520 for the basic trim level Van Load 2S 2.2D Liftback to $66,880 for the top of the range People Mover Highlander.
The Staria cabin features heavy use of plastics, some soft touchpoints and large panelling in the dashboard. An 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system is standard but upgrades to a 10.25-inch system on higher grades.
On all models except the base model, there are dual sunroofs.
The overall design aesthetic leans towards a ‘work van’ rather than a family people mover, even on the top spec grade.
There are two engines available for the Staria and they are available on all grade levels.
There is the 2WD with a 3.5L V6 turbo-petrol engine that produces 200kW/331Nm.
There is an AWD with a 2.2L four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that produces 130kW/430Nm.
All models have an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Staria features eight seats in a 2/3/3 configuration.
The second row has a 60/40 split and can be manually adjusted (tilt/fold and slide).
The seat back of the third-row folds in one piece and the seat base can also be folded up, enabling more depth for the boot when the row is slid forward.
Standard upholstery is black cloth but is upgraded to black leather accented upholstery on higher grades.

The turbo-petrol engine has an official combined fuel cycle figure of 10.5L/100km and a 75L fuel tank giving models with this engine a theoretical driving range of 714km.
The turbo-diesel engine has an official combined fuel cycle figure of 8.2L/100km and a 75L fuel tank giving models with this engine a theoretical driving range of 914km.
The Staria is only available in three colours, Abyss Black, Creamy White and Shimmering Silver (this colour is an additional cost).
From the sounds of things, you need a vehicle that can accommodate the wheelchair as an actual seat in the car rather than having the chair folded and stored for the journey. With that in mind, a van or people-mover is by far the best best bet and the news is good, because there are plenty of choices. For a while there, people were converting Ford Falcon station-wagons for this task, but since the Falcon is no longer made, vans have become the new default vehicle to convert. Which makes plenty of sense.
There are specialist firms around that will carry out whatever conversion you require and tailor-make the ramps, lock-down points and grab-rails you need to make it work for you. Switched on companies will sit down with you and discuss your precise requirements and engineer something bespoke if necessary.
At the moment, the list of car choices is pretty long and includes the new Hyundai Staria, VW Caddy, LDV G10, VW Caravelle, Renault Kangoo, Renault Trafic, Hyundai iLoad, Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Toyota HiAce and, in case you need something really big, even the Toyota Coaster. Some of these companies are also registered as NDIS suppliers.
But don’t rule out a second-hand vehicle, either. There are websites around listing used wheelchair-accessible cars for sale. Some will be ex-taxis, but others can be relatively low-kilometre cars that might just have the exact layout you were looking for.

The Staria Load has a stack of standard safety features, including autonomous braking (including pedestrian and cyclist detection) blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise-control, a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors. The best news is that those are included on every variant of the Staria Load, including the entry-level, front-wheel-drive model.
Had this been a case of you ordering a vehicle you were told would be fitted with these safety features and then discovering they weren’t included, you’d have been entitled to a refund of your deposit on the basis that the vehicle being supplied was not as described at the time you placed your order. But it seems Hyundai is being very serious about safety with this new vehicle, so those bases seem well and truly covered.

Standard accessories for the Staria include a full-size spare wheel, steering wheel controls, four drive modes, paddle shifters, front/rear parking camera (not a 360 system), front/rear parking sensors, keyless entry, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, AM/FM radio, six USB-C ports, rear window shades, 12-volt socket, and LED DRLs.
The boot is cavernous and there is 831L (VDA) available behind the third row and 1303L when the third row is folded but most of the available space is vertical.
The boot lid is enormous and isn't powered until you hit the higher grades.
There isn't an official 0-100km/h sprint time for the Hyundai Staria but the diesel grades can get there in about 12 seconds, while petrol models can easily do it in around 10 seconds.
The top speed for the Staria is a maximum of 200km/h.
