The Hyundai Staria has won the ‘Best Cars’ award from the German trade journal auto motor und sport. It is the second time the minivan has won this award since 2022. The Hyundai MPV took first place in the “van–import” category against 15 other competitors.

A total of 101,550 readers participated in the poll for the event, voting for more than 422 cars across 13 different categories. 

“Receiving the award immediately after Staria’s sales launch last year was a pleasant surprise. It had turned into an incentive for the entire team to repeat this great success,” said Jürgen Keller, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor Deutschland GmbH.
