Hey there - I'm looking to buy a Hyundai Staria 2021 model, the Highlander, with all the bells and whistles including 4WD mode.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this vehicle as an owner, or even as a mechanic? Curious to know if the standard services are expensive, and if there are any major services or potential issues that may cost a small fortune?

We have had a VW Multivan in the past and the services were pretty expensive (over $1k per standard service) which might be because it's European, but it's also the first van we've had so wasn't sure if it was normal for this style of vehicle.

  We have the diesel Highlander, no issue so far. Done nearly 52k km so far, bought it brand new in June 2022. Servicing is capped, about $360-380 for a standard service at the dealership.

    The only car I know of that comes with all the bells and whistles is the AMG A200…

    Or

    “Bells make whistles. Thanks.”

  If you are going with a used car, why not consider Toyota Alphard/Vellfire. Much nicer in every aspect.
