The 2021 Hyundai Starex (2021 Hyundai H-1),
codenamed 'Hyundai US4' has been spied for the very first time. Apparently, the
third-gen model is going to be a mechanical twin of the fourth-gen Kia
Carnival.
Hyundai may not necessarily use the existing Starex
and/or H-1 name(s) for the upcoming model seen in these spy shots. Being a
plush minivan and a proper passenger vehicle, this model might carry a new
name. What's certain is that it's being developed keeping in mind North
American, Oceanic and Asian markets where the Kia Carnival already exists and
has proved that there's enough demand for such minivans.
In the first generation, the Hyundai Starex was
available in a minivan and several other versions. In the second generation, it
became a proper van. Now, in the third generation, it's going back to being
available as a minivan, and it looks like it will be more minivan than ever
before. There's no word on the specifications of the Hyundai US4 yet. It's
still over a year from its debut.
