I don’t keep track of how long after a new model is brought in CBU form, Hyundai brings it out in CKD form. Can anyone enlighten me? I’d be interested in the Starex if only it is locally assembled in which case the price will dip to near 100K which will put it in direct competition with Toyota Hiace which is my other choice for a outdoor adventure vehicle, you know, loading it up with my bicycles and folding kayaks.As it is the Hiace wins hands down for being more utilitarian, cheaper, having more space with high roof backed up by the trusted Toyota name but loses out in not having an intercooler and VGT thus having less power. The Starex is presented as being more luxurious and powerful but pricier. Hard to decide for now, but a CBU price might just tip the decision of many a potential buyer in its favor.

This car is called the H1 in Thailand and is very popular since it is much cheaper than the other MPVs of this size. They are selling it with the 2.2 litre turbo diesel.

If the pricing is right & they put a gud TDI/CRD engine( eg..Santa Fe 2.2CRD)….. & wt 3 rows of 7/8 seaters will definately be a potential future replacement for my tajet….7 seaters wt big luggage area (no need for roof box if travelling wt 7/8 ppl)

It does look good. But this one should be the baseline model. The highline should give alphard and elgrand a cause to worry.

i think it’s an MPV, just look at where the engine is located. typically van engine bay is located under the driver, as opposed to MPV which placed the engine in front to give it slightly car-like driving position.

side profile looks like a stretched avanza. it may beat urvan and hiace as people mover but may not be successful as commercial vehicle. make it more upright to maximise loading capacity and most important of all, introduce a panel van. without these features, those big boys at serendah and shah alam have nothing to worry.

It’s competitor for Hiace, or Nissan Urvan maybe little pricier. BUT at RM130k for the basic will deter some buyers.

I’ll take this over Hiace or Urvan. For safety reason

This is a competition for Toyota LiteAce. But the Toyota is not that expensive anyway.

Its huge. The outside looks like a luxury MPV, but inside practical like a van/tourist mini-bus.

Price it at RM100K and give the old Naza Ria a run for the money.

A minibus to say. So JDMD, your regular Putrajaya CBU snapshot â€œsupplierâ€ must be an ‘insider’ at the Putrajaya RTD, must he.

from the look of it.. it could be a new batch of fleet for KLIA.. just a guess.. i dont think hyundai want to sell this base model as it is to basic. there no alloy rims also. never know it could be nissan lavina new rival. all assumptions.. hope one of it is true..cheers!
