Hyundai continues to expand its electric vehicle lineup, and the next major release is set to grab attention in Europe. The South Korean automaker announced that it will unveil its largest electric vehicle to date at the Brussels Motor Show in January, featuring state-of-the-art technology and an advanced 800-volt charging system. While Hyundai has not explicitly confirmed it, all signs point to the Hyundai Staria EV.
A Closer Look at the Staria EV
The Hyundai Staria is renowned for its sleek, futuristic design, with LED light bars and sophisticated details that stand out on the road. Since its launch in 2021, it has been available in multiple passenger and cargo configurations, with gasoline, hybrid, LPG, and diesel engines, making it a versatile and practical vehicle.
The electric version will expand these possibilities even further, leveraging Hyundai’s latest battery innovations. Some reports suggest that the Staria EV will feature a fourth-generation 84 kWh lithium-ion NCM battery pack, the same used in models like the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Other rumors point to a larger 99 kWh pack, ideal for long trips, family use, or cargo transport. With the smaller battery, the estimated range is 325 km (200 miles) under the WLTP cycle.
Benefits of the 800-Volt Architecture
The 800-volt system allows for ultra-fast DC charging, reaching 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes with a compatible charger. This technology makes the Staria EV a highly attractive option for drivers seeking comfort and efficiency on longer journeys.
Although there is no confirmation about its U.S. release, Europe will soon see a large electric van that combines design, versatility, and sustainable mobility.
