The Hyundai Staria (Korean: 현대 스타리아) is a 5-door van and minivan manufactured by Hyundai since 2021. It was introduced as the successor to the Starex, replacing the rear-wheel-drive layout of the Starex with a front-wheel-drive-based platform shared with other large Hyundai and Kia vehicles. The name "Staria" was coined by combining the word "star" with "ria". It is currently marketed in South Korea, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, Middle East, Latin America, and several European countries.
