Hyundai Staria Electric Cargo 2026: range, payload and price
The Staria Electric Cargo carries up to 1,040 kg, tows 2,000 kg, and charges from 10 to 80% in about 20 minutes on its 800V platform.
The cargo version of the Hyundai Staria Electric has come out with an even longer official range than the passenger model: up to 450 km versus 430 km on the WLTP cycle. The battery itself isn’t new — Hyundai revealed the 84 kWh pack, the 160 kW (218 hp) front motor and the 800-volt architecture back when the electric version first debuted.
The fresh figures apply specifically to the Staria Electric Cargo. The three-seat van can carry up to 1,040 kg of cargo, tow a trailer of up to 2,000 kg, and fit three Euro-pallets in its load bay. DC fast charging from 10% to 80% takes around 20 minutes at a suitable station. Hyundai quotes up to 634 km for the urban cycle in the Netherlands.
There’s an interesting split within the family. For the seven- and nine-seat passenger Staria Electric, Hyundai currently quotes up to 430 km WLTP with the same 84 kWh battery. The difference comes down to vehicle configuration and homologation results, not a bigger battery fitted to the Cargo.
In the Netherlands, the electric van starts at €39,995 excluding VAT and delivery costs. Orders open in September.
The model has already made it onto the shortlist of finalists for the International Van of the Year 2027. Competition there is stiff: the Kia PV5 Cargo, for instance, offers up to 400 km of range, while the Staria’s strong suit is the combination of 450 km, 800V charging and the ability to tow a two-tonne trailer.
So this August update to the Staria story isn’t about a “new battery” — it’s the arrival of a fully-fledged commercial variant with refined, real-world specs. For an electric van, a one-tonne payload and short charging stops may matter more than acceleration or top speed.
