Hyundai has released a teaser for its largest electric vehicle as part of its 2026 global roadmap. The company plans to host the world premiere of this massive new model at the Brussels Motor Show, aiming to fill a gap in the market for spacious, zero-emission family and commercial vehicles.
Larger Than Ioniq 9
The new model is expected to be an all-electric version of the Staria MPV, making it even bigger than the recently launched Ioniq 9. At over 5.2 meters long, it features a tall, boxy shape that provides more interior room than almost any other battery-powered vehicle on the road. The teaser shows a signature full-width LED light bar on the front, giving it a futuristic look that matches Hyundai’s other electric models.
Rapid Charging Battery
This flagship vehicle will use an advanced 800V system, which is the same high-speed tech found in the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. This allows the large battery to charge from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes when connected to a 350 kW plug-in station.
While the official numbers are still under wraps, people close to the industry expect it to use a large 99 kWh battery. The idea is simple: with a vehicle this big and heavy, a battery of that size would be needed to deliver a strong driving range.
Flexible Interior Space
Inside, the cabin is built around flexibility and depending on the layout, it can seat seven or even eight people, with enough space for everyone to travel comfortably. Because it uses a flat electric floor, the interior feels more like a mobile lounge with plenty of legroom and storage space.
It is expected to feature sliding rear doors and a low floor height, making it very easy for children or elderly passengers to get in and out of the battery-operated van.

Smart Tech Features
Hyundai says this model will showcase “state-of-the-art” technology, including the latest software for navigation and energy management. The dash will likely feature a large curved display that combines the driver’s gauges with the main entertainment screen. Like other new zero-emission Hyundais, this vehicle will support over-the-air updates, so the car’s performance and features can improve over time without visiting a garage.
Europe First Launch
The Brussels debut confirms that Europe will be the first major market to receive this electric giant. It is designed to meet the growing demand for large plug-in vehicles in cities with strict emission rules. While a launch in India has not been officially confirmed, the growing interest in luxury MPVs like the Kia Carnival suggests that Hyundai could consider bringing it to major Indian cities in the future.
