iLoad to all-new STARIA LOAD
STARIA-LOAD has been built from the ground up upon the same N3 passenger car platform as the latest 2021 Santa Fe. This platform is lighter and more rigid than outgoing iLoad, which combined with a new FWD layout, provides car like refinement of the handling characteristics and ride quality, creating a more approachable and familiar driving experience without sacrificing performance.
New platform: same dependability and performance
While STARIA-LOAD has moved to a passenger car platform and FWD drivetrain, performance and dependability are better than ever. A solid rear axle and leaf spring rear suspension provide a strong set up for carrying heavy loads reliably, while the new platform and powertrain help increase braked towing capacity to 2.5 Tonnes.
STARIA-LOAD’s new platform and layout has not only increased cargo volume, but it has also made the space more usable, increasing key dimensions for a cargo area that can fit three Euro pallets, with an increased sliding door opening width for side forklift access.
All the technology, safety and convenience: one giant leap for van kind
Powertrain: performance
STARIA-LOAD features a 2.2 CRDi FWD powertrain, mated to an eight speed automatic transmission.
Cargo Area: its what’s inside that counts
STARIA-LOAD’s cargo area is larger and more usable than outgoing iLoad, growing in all dimensions. Crucially, access has been improved with STARIA-LOAD able to load Euro standard pallets via the side doors thanks to wider sliding door openings, with space to fit three full euro pallets (1,200mm x 800mm) or two Australian standard pallets (1,165mm x 1,165mm).
STARIA-LOAD has a lowered floor for easier loading and unloading, as well as 96mm of extra height for head room and taller items. There are also eight tie down points throughout, a variety of mounting points for accessories and felt board trim in key areas where objects may damage the interior walls.
