January 9, 2026

800 volt architecture

Here are the key technical features. The Hyundai Staria Electric has an 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast DC charging (10-80% in about 20 minutes), an 84 kWh battery with an estimated WLTP range of up to 400 km (subject to change), a 160 kW (218 hp) electric motor on the front axle and a towing weight of up to 2,000 kilograms. The car also has Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), powerful 100 W USB-C ports and a Digital Key where your phone acts as a key. The 800-volt architecture enables fast charging and consistent power delivery. The charging technology couples high power transfer with minimal heat generation, ideal for repeated fast charging and long trips.

Lounge-style interior

Features of the Hyundai Staria Electric include an enclosed front end, sleek surfaces and a continuous horizontal light signature. A flat floor, generous dimensions and large areas of glass create an open, lounge-like interior with plenty of light and freedom of movement, according to the automaker. Seat configurations are flexible so the end user can determine the best arrangement. In the interior of the Staria Electric, we further detect two 12.3-inch displays featuring Hyundai’s latest ccNC infotainment system. This system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and over-the-air updates.
