I'm no stranger to a van, I've driven quite a few, but the new Hyundai Staria is certainly different, even if you're just going on looks alone. It's certainly setting itself apart in this category.

I'm driving the base model Staria which replaces Hyundai's iMax - that was essentially a commercial van with seats, while the Staria, Hyundai says, is more of a people mover, designed to be used by large families.

This one costs $51,500 (MSRP) for the diesel version and competes with the Kia Carnival and Volkswagen Multivan, but also big SUVs like the Hyundai Palisade. Here's how it worked for my family over seven days for this week's family review.
