Hyundai Staria Camper EV Concept Revealed

Hyundai has unveiled the Staria Camper EV Concept at the CMT trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany, shortly after launching the Staria Electric, its first fully electric multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). This innovative camper variant is built off the same platform as the Staria Electric, boasting a notable WLTP driving range of up to 400 km (approximately 249 miles), making it one of the leading electric MPVs in terms of range.

Equipped with the same 160 kW (215 hp) front-mounted electric motor as the Staria EV, the camper has undergone refinements in both its front and rear suspension. Hyundai has also incorporated sound-absorbing materials to ensure a more comfortable and quieter driving experience.

One of the standout features is the pop-up roof that, at the touch of a button, expands living space and grants access to an integrated kitchen. The camper is designed for those eager to venture beyond conventional campsites, featuring a 520W solar panel embedded in the pop-up roof. With an average of five hours of sunlight daily, this setup can generate up to 2.6 kWh of electricity. This stored energy can enhance the driving range or support off-grid living.

Additionally, the Staria Camper is equipped with essential amenities for longer trips, including a 36-liter refrigerator, a portable showerhead, and a cabin climate-control system. It also boasts smart glass technology in the rear, allowing users to control transparency and shading via a touchscreen.

Despite the excitement, the fate of the Staria Electric Camper is uncertain. Hyundai has stated that the concept will be “under evaluation” during the 2026 CMT, which will determine its potential for production. Interested attendees can participate in an online survey to influence this decision.

While the Staria Electric is generating buzz in Europe, potential buyers in the United States may be disappointed. Hyundai confirmed that the gas-powered Staria is not available in the U.S. market, and the camper concept is specifically tailored for European customers.
