Staria 2.2L Diesel and 3.5L base

The exterior is very much the same except the 17-inch steel wheels instead of alloys and halogen headlamps instead of LEDs. Inside there are fabric seats instead of leather and the audio system includes a 3.8-inch Mono TFT LCD with 4 speakers. Furthermore, the heater and AC are manual instead of the automatic one found in the top-spec HGS variant. Lastly, the vehicle comes with dual airbags instead of 6 found in the flagship variant. The base Hyundai Staria has the same set of features as found in the diesel variant.
