2026 Hyundai Staria Electric Minivan Aims to Compete with VW ID. Buzz
The Staria Electric may be equipped with a 215 horsepower electric motor and an 800V system designed for ultra-rapid charging capabilities.
- The new Staria Electric will likely use Hyundai’s latest 84 kWh battery pack.
- Hyundai is expected to sell the EV in its home market as well as in Europe, Australia, and Thailand.
- Production of the new model could kick off in mid-2026.
The Hyundai Staria family will soon welcome a new all-electric member. Hyundai already offers passenger and panel-van versions of the model, in ICE and a hybrid form, but now it’s the time to add an all-electric derivative into the mix.
This particular prototype was snapped at a parking lot in South Korea without an inch of camouflage, providing us with an unimpeded look at its design. Unsurprisingly, it looks mostly identical to existing models in the Staria range but does have a distinctive front end.
The Staria Electric does not need a front grille that stretches across almost its entire width. Instead, the EV gets a tiny grille in the middle of the bumper that’s no bigger than a license plate. Positioned next to this grille is the charging port while located towards the base of the bumper are two additional – and equally small – air vents. The main headlamps used by the Staria Hybrid appear identical to those found on the hybrid model, meaning they’re a little larger than the ICE models.
