Hyundai's betting on the Staria Electric as a proper family hauler with 248 miles of range and genuine three-row seating—no clever packaging tricks. It's spaceship styling on a practical platform, which means it either signals where Korean EV design is headed or it's a one-off curiosity depending on how UK buyers respond.

The Mach-E, Ioniq, and F-150 Lightning led the pack as traditional automakers clawed back market share. Ford's crossover strategy and Hyundai's pricing discipline are working. Tesla's slowing numbers opened a door everyone else is walking through.
