Hyundai’s updated Staria Load HEV brings a 1.6 T-GDi petrol-electric hybrid to the mid-size commercial-van segment, offering improved fuel economy, lower CO2, higher power and slightly greater payload versus the diesel. Priced from $53,490, it’s practical and well equipped but lacks a tow rating and costs more upfront. Real-world testing showed roughly 7.1 L/100km over mixed driving, so buyers should weigh needs.
