Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor Sees Encouraging Demand For 10-Seater Staria
Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor Sdn Bhd (HSDM) has shared that it is seeing encouraging demand for the 10-seater version of the Hyundai Staria MPV. The 10-seater was launched recently in October 2022 with over 200 units sold within the first month. Coincidentally, the 10-seater was launched a year after the 7-seater premium version of the Staria was introduced in Malaysia.
Targeted at large family units and corporate clients, the Staria 10-seater comes with the Hyundai SmartSense suite which includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Safe Exit Assist, Lane Following Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, among others. Convenience features within include full flat folding and sliding seats (in a 2-3-2-3 layout), USB outlets for all seats, wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay and 3M premium tint. Furthermore, its MPV body is fitted with smart powered sliding doors and a smart powered liftgate.
“With more than 200 units sold since its launch in early October, we are encouraged that the Malaysian public recognises the features of Hyundai Staria 10-seater as a dynamic MPV which offers the best of both worlds, in terms of practicality and performance. We expect demand to only continue to rise in the remaining months and into the new year,” Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director, Retail and Distribution of Sime Darby Motors Malaysia said.
The Hyundai Staria has a 2.2L CRDi turbo diesel engine paired with an 8-speed transmission which transfers power to the front wheels. The engine is capable of 177 PS @ 3,800 rpm and 431 Nm @ 1,500 – 2,500 rpm, and there are 4 driving modes i.e. Smart, Eco, Sport and Normal to cater to your mood.
“Hyundai is leading the pack in terms of innovation coupled with its strikingly futuristic design. This is the driving force of the Hyundai-Staria’s attractiveness. We are heartened by the amazing and positive feedback from the first batch of owners, which is a testament to the experience that Hyundai offers. Given the limited supply and with the next batch expected in early 2023, now is the best time for MPV enthusiasts to lock in their orders while stocks last,” added Low Yuan Lung, Managing Director of HSDM.
The Hyundai Staria 10-seater is available in 3 variants i.e. Lite, Plus, and Max. Exterior colour choices are Abyss Black Pearl, Creamy White, Shimmering Silver Metallic, Moonlight Blue Pearl, and Graphite Grey Metallic. Retail prices are RM179,888, RM196,888 and RM209,888 respectively.
The Hyundai Staria 10-seater is also the replacement for the popular Grand Starex which has been taken off the line-up.
