Overview
The Hyundai Staria is a large D-segment MPV for families and operators who need proper people-carrying capacity rather than an SUV with occasional third-row seats. Launched in this generation in 2021, it is sold in Malaysia with a 2.2 litre diesel engine and automatic transmission, with prices starting from RM179,888.
For 2026, the Malaysian Staria gets a floor centre console in place of the front middle seat, with no price change. The range continues as the 2.2D Style 10-Seater, Prime 10-Seater, Prestige 10-Seater and Prestige 7-Seater. The CKD Staria has also appeared in Stormy Sea at the same pricing as the CBU cars. The Staria Electric and Korean facelift are separate overseas developments, not replacements for the Malaysian diesel range.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 2.2D Style 10-Seater at RM179,888. All four variants use the same 2,199 cc, 175 hp diesel engine and conventional automatic transmission, so on paper you are paying for trim and equipment, not extra performance. The Prime 10-Seater costs RM196,888, while the Prestige 10-Seater is RM209,888. Pay RM267,888 for the Prestige 7-Seater only if that seven-seat layout is the priority.

across the range — availability varies by variant
The Staria is a big diesel MPV with a wide Malaysian price spread, from below the Kia Carnival’s RM188,888 starting point to just under the Maxus MIFA 9 at RM269,888. It also costs more than the Toyota Innova Zenix, which starts from RM165,000. Its case is simple: diesel automatic power, multiple seating configurations and a van-like focus on moving people. But the upper variant is not cheap.
