Hyundai Motor Company launched two new models, the Staria Lounge, on the 19th. Hyundai plans to lead the luxury MPV market with "limousine" models optimized for commercial vehicles and "campervans" optimized for camping.

The Deluxe Business MPV Edition is a roof-heightened addition to the Staria with a luxurious interior design and first-class space and convenience.
The appearance emphasizes the sense of unity, and the fierce look does not look like the roof is raised, and the lines transition evenly from the hood to the roof. The side of the body is an exclusive 18-inch rim.
But when the doors are opened, there is no hole in the sky, and the raised roof makes the interior space very spacious. The second row has two luxurious VIP seats, and the middle island can also be moved back and forth.

In terms of specific configuration, the height of the car is increased by 205mm compared to the height of the basic model, and a movable control island that can be moved from the first row to the second and third rows is applied to maximize the use of space. The removable island also includes a pop-up table, cup holder and USB Type-C charging. It also comes with HDMI/USB connectivity, smart device mirroring, and a 25-inch rear-seat display, so you can enjoy the video you need on the go.
A built-in air purifier with ultra-fine dust and indoor harmful gas purification functions, starry sky mood lights and indoor atmosphere in the shape of shining stars are also installed. In addition, by using center lights, mood lights and 2/3 row OF LED reading lights, passengers can create the kind of interior atmosphere that passengers want.

The other is the Staria Lounge Camper, a model of a campervan that applies many of the optimized camping features to the Staria Lounge Prestige model. It has two configurations: the 11-seat version and the 4-seat version.
The camper's electric pop-up roof applies an aerodynamic design through curves and uses the same material as the bodywork, giving a sense of unity. In addition, if the roof is lifted, it can be used as a sleeping space for two adults, and indoor lights and mattresses are provided to create a comfortable space.
The right side of the body awning (blackout screen) system allows the space to be expanded and utilized, and LED lighting installed inside the awning enhances the convenience at night. Sleeping space can also be created with a second row of fully flat seats with electrically adjustable seat angles.

In addition, the Camper 4-seater version includes a 12.1-inch foldable integrated controller and display, 3 rows of recliners, a sliding rear table, an external power supply, 70 liters of fresh water and a 40 liter tank, and 36 liters built-in in the refrigerator and sink for increased usability.
Another advantage is that it has a lower overall height (2095 mm) compared to other campervans. Therefore, most underground parking lots that are only under 2.1m can be used. Of course, the disadvantage is that it is limited by the size, there is no toilet, and other functions are available.
At present, there are similar products in the Chinese market, but most of them are not developed by manufacturers themselves, but by third-party modification factories. Therefore, the yield, quality assurance, and overall quality are difficult to guarantee. And the interior also has the feel of an auto parts city. Hyundai's two cars, both of which were originally launched, are more assured in terms of design, materials, and quality.
