The 2024 Hyundai Staria Load has made its debut in the Australian market, replacing the iLoad as Hyundai's commercial van. Its futuristic and stylish design challenges the conventional notion of a work van, sharing its platform with the Kia Carnival and the people-moving Staria. With a keen eye on the segment-leading Toyota HiAce, let's delve into what this newcomer brings to the table in its 2024 iteration.
Pricing and Features
The Hyundai Staria Load kicks off at $46,240 (before on-road costs) for the two-seater model, featuring dual sliding side doors and a lift-back tailgate. An interesting offering is the 'Twin Swing' style barn door, included at no extra cost. The five-seater Crew Van variant is priced at $50,140 drive-away before on-roads.
Both the two-seat Van and five-seat Crew Van configurations run on a single rear-wheel drive powertrain, powered by the 2.2-litre diesel engine borrowed from its SUV counterpart, the Santa Fe. They share features like 17-inch steel wheels, 8-inch touchscreen displays, leather-appointed knobs and wheels, black cloth seats, wireless charging, keyless entry, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
For those seeking additional luxuries, the Staria Load Premium Van steps up the game with features such as two 10.25-inch screens, LED lighting, power tailgate, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated and power-folding mirrors, and push-button start.
The Staria Load boasts a payload capacity of 1072kg and a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 3020kg. It can tow up to 2500kg with a braked towing capacity, balanced by a modest 100kg ball load rating. The braked Gross Combination Mass (GCM) stands at 5520kg.
Safety Features
In terms of safety, the Staria Load earned a five-star ANCAP rating during testing alongside the Staria in 2021. Notable scores include 85 percent for adult occupant protection and 86 percent for child occupant protection.
Standard safety features include autonomous emergency braking, speed sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera. Liftback variants add a surround view monitor for enhanced safety.
Warranty and Servicing
The Hyundai Staria Load comes with a five-year/160,000km warranty, applicable for both commercial and private usage. Hyundai also offers capped-price servicing, costing $360 for each 12-month/15,000km service over the initial five years. This comprehensive package enhances the overall appeal of the Staria Load in terms of ownership and maintenance.
