Hyundai have teased that they will be unveiling their biggest EV yet, and by the first look of it, it could be the MPV Staria, sold globally and would be coming with an 800V charging system.
New Delhi: Hyundai have given a glimpse of their new EV, the brand’s "biggest EV yet” at the upcoming Brussels Motor Show, which will be held between January 9th and January 18th. While Hyundai haven’t given any particular details about the EV, apart from the fact that it will showcase the brand’s "state-of-the-art electric technology” and will get an 800V charging system, the car is expected to be an EV version of the globally sold Staria MPV.
The teaser image haven’t given out much details besides showing a full-width LED light bar and the Hyundai logo right below it. The lighting arrangement is quite similar to the ICE version of the Staria MPV. Coming in at over the length of 5.2 meters, the Staria can be the brand’s biggest EV to date. In reference, Hyundai’s biggest EV is the Ioniq 9, which is just over 5 meters.
Hyundai’s new EV has been spotted internationally
Demo vehicles of the Staria EV have been seen being tested internationally. In terms of design, it is expected to be quite similar to the ICE-powered Staria but will likely have EV-specific upgrades. At present, the Staria comes in petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains.
Apart from this, Hyundai are expected to display the upgraded version of the Ioniq 6 that was unveiled in April this year. There will be a different N Zone, where visitors can view the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, and even an interactive arcade gaming corner made around the Insteroid.
