Hyundai has designed a new version of its Staria people mover, the 2022 Hyundai Staria Lounge Camper – unveiled last week in its home market of South Korea.
The Staria Lounge Camper is a rival to the Volkswagen California, which is also a factory-built, van-turned-camper conversion.
Available in either four- or 11-seat configurations, the Hyundai Staria Lounge Camper can transform into a portable holiday home with a pop-out roof and retractable awning which lights up at night.
The pop-out roof deploys electronically, lifting to create a small space for two people to sleep on an inflatable mattress. The entire roof can light up at night to help facilitate those late-night trips to the toilet block.
The second row of seats can be flattened to provide further bedding space. Also on board the Staria Lounge Camper is a 12.1-inch foldable control screen which manages systems such as the car’s lighting and electric pop-out roof.
The Hyundai Staria Lounge Camper comes with a 70-litre water tank and a 40-litre waste water tank, plus an in-built refrigerator and sink.
A sliding tray table which can be pulled out to prepare food, or to share a meal. Hyundai has even included a mosquito net to fend off bugs.
The list price for the Staria Lounge Camper 11-seater in South Korea is 49.47 million Korean won ($AU54,200), while the Camper four-seater is 68.58 million won ($AU75,100).
Despite our love of the great outdoors, Hyundai says for now there are no plans to introduce the model in Australia.
The Hyundai Staria fills a number of roles in its home market of South Korea, also doubling as a school bus.
