Australian launch and pricing
Hyundai has officially added a battery-electric Staria Load to its Australian van range, with the Staria Load Electric priced from $70,990 before on-road costs. GoAuto reported the launch at the Everything Electric show in Sydney, while carsales described the model as arriving in Australia and 7News said it is available now. The electric variant sits above the existing diesel and hybrid Staria Load models in the local line-up. 2356
Powertrain, range and charging
The Staria Load Electric is powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 160kW and 350Nm, supplied by an 84kWh lithium-ion battery. Hyundai and the market reports cited here all align on a claimed WLTP range of up to 450km. GoAuto also lists energy consumption at 20.7kWh/100km. Hyundai’s 800-volt E-GMP architecture enables DC charging at up to 350kW, and Hyundai claims a 10-to-80 per cent recharge in 20 minutes when connected to a suitably powerful charger. 12356
Payload, cargo space and equipment
Hyundai says the electric version retains the Staria Load’s 4935-litre cargo volume, with the load space measuring 2607mm long, 1640mm wide and 1436mm high. Payload is rated at 1005kg, which GoAuto notes sits between the diesel’s 997kg and the hybrid’s 1039kg, while braked towing capacity is 2000kg. The electric van is offered in two-seat Liftback and Twin Swing configurations, with a closed front panel replacing the grille, 17-inch steel wheels, twin 12.3-inch screens, satellite navigation, Shift-by-Wire, Bluelink connected services, over-the-air updates and an interior vehicle-to-load outlet in the cargo area. 13456
Servicing, warranty and model context
Hyundai lists servicing for the electric model at 30,000km intervals, with capped-price maintenance quoted at $645 at 24 months or 30,000km and $667 at 48 months or 60,000km. The high-voltage battery is covered by an eight-year/160,000km warranty, while Hyundai notes that broader warranty conditions vary by application, with commercial-use exclusions applying to its extended seven-year warranty program. The local Staria Load range follows the 2026 refresh of the Staria and Staria Load family, which introduced updated styling, revised cabin equipment and hybrid powertrains before the electric variant was added. 1378
