While all eyes are on the top-of-the-line Hyundai Staria Premium, how does the base Staria look like? Once again, we have to thank sales agents for this rather unofficial first look .
The base 11-seater Staria doesn’t have either of those. Instead, it goes a bit more conventional with its 3+3+2+3 configuration. Yup, you read that right. The driver’s seat is separate, but the passenger’s seat has a tandem seat attached to it. Then, you have a second-row and fourth-row bench seat. Surprisingly enough, the third row manages to keep two separate bucket seats, although as you can imagine, the knee space is tad more economy than business class.
Outside, it looks like the base Staria will come equipped with LED headlights as standard, while the alloy wheels match that of the Korean market’s 18-inch design meaning it’ll come fitted with 215/65 R 18 tires. Oh, and based on both the button on the driver’s door and the placement of the key fob in the demo unit, it’ll have smart keyless entry. It also appears to have a front and rear camera as well rear parking sensors.
Another interesting aspect is the warranty. As we reported earlier, Hyundai Motor Philippines is changing the warranty on the cars it’ll be selling to a 5-year / 200,000-kilometer warranty . It will also have the same warranty on paint, though corrosion coverage is only up to 100,000 kilometers.
