Under the slogan "11-Seater Hybrid. Ready for Every Mission," Hyundai positions the STARIA Hybrid as a vehicle ready to keep pace with the life of someone looking after everyone at home, building on Hyundai's more than 30 years in the Thai MPV market, from the Hyundai H-1 through to the Hyundai STARIA Diesel.
