Hyundai STARIA Launched in Pakistan

Hyundai Nishat Motors Private Limited (HNMPL) has launched its first minivan, the Hyundai STARIA in Pakistan after the success of its SUV, the Hyundai Tucson. The company also has two sedans, the Hyundai Elantra and Sonata, in Pakistan, which it launched last year in 2021.

The Hyundai STARIA is the company’s latest offering in Pakistan and the minivan or MPV offers a host of smart features as it competes directly with the KIA Carnival, which is the only other vehicle available in this category.
