The Hyundai Staria and Staria-Load have today been awarded the maximum 5 star safety rating by ANCAP, Australasia's independent voice on vehicle safety. The eight-seat Hyundai Staria people mover scored well across all areas of assessment, with full points awarded in the side impact test for both adult and child occupants, and for the driver in both the full width frontal and mobile progressive deformable barrier (MPDB) tests.  Submarining of the rear passenger's upper legs was noted in the full width frontal test and deductions were applied, however the vehicle still scored well in this test overall.
