Hyundai Staria
This is the Hyundai Staria, and it is a new motor vehicle with an exterior design “resembling a spaceship”. So, a warm welcome back for the humble MPV, clearly no longer a dirty word (initialism). Hyundai is bringing back a segment mercilessly pummelled into submission by those pesky crossovers, via a car from the future that movies have been promising us for decades. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

One would hardly call a vehicle that can seat 9 (as in the bottom picture) as a small or family car.

Isn't that what our American friends would refer to as a minivan ?

It's definitely more than an estate/people carrier. It does look more like a minivan

I started this thread, and I certify that the Hyundai Staria is a family car.

The Volkswagen Nivus will be built in Spain and sold in Europe under the name Taigo.

They've actually made it look good, so far play to them for doing that

Does everything a Polo or A1 does - but cheaper and less smugly.

We had a request from a Fire Service for base models for a future tender - with one of the criteria being a 0-60mph time below a certain threshold. As you can imagine - acceleration is never normally a factor in designing a HGV, so road tests were required. I imagine something similar is carried out by police forces - performance and load capacity are factors ahead of comfort and refinement. |

When I read this, I automatically thought of Dennis who used to be one of the major suppliers of fire tenders, and it wasn't until I looked them up that I realised that they haven't been making them for about 15 years. Blooming heck, time just flies by without you knowing. |

Less bits inside to break and to add weight as well I guess? I get why Audi feels the need to offer full motion, vibrating and heated/cooled seats but offer the removal and replacement. Seats weigh a TON for what that give

It's a nice looking car.
Still have to get used to the new Peugeot logo, at first I thought it was a Proton. ![]() |
