The Hyundai Stargazer has been sighted on Malaysian roads, with images courtesy of paultan.org reader Faiz Fadil, showing the seven-seater MPV transported on the back of a flatbed truck.
The seven-seat MPV from the Korean brand will compete with the likes of the Perodua Alza, Toyota Veloz and Mitsubishi Xpander when it goes on sale in Malaysia, which should be not too far away. The Stargazer was not part of the brand’s teaser for upcoming launches, which depicted the Ioniq 6 EV sedan, the Creta B-SUV, as well as the Santa Fe and Palisade facelifted SUVs.
In Indonesia, the Stargazer was launched with pricing from 243.3 million rupiah (RM72,203) for the base Active variant with a manual transmission, or IDR255.9 million (RM75,942) for the IVT. The next variant along, the Trend is priced from IDR255.9 million (RM75,942) for the manual and IDR275.9 million (RM81,812) for the IVT.
The IVT-only upper half of the range in Indonesia brings the Style at IDR296.3 million (RM87,870), and IDR307.1 million (RM91,073) for the Prime; this can be further specified with a two-tone exterior for an additional IDR1.5 million (RM445).
The Prime variant, being the range-topper in Indonesia, gets the full complement of safety kit including the suite of active safety systems. This is comprised of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (AEB), Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
The Prime also gets six airbags; four more than the Style variant, which packs equipment such as cruise control, the larger instrument cluster, tilt and telescopic steering adjustment, six-speaker audio, ESC, hill start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, manual speed limit assist, a reverse camera, keyless entry and start and rear occupant alert.
At the base of the range, the Active has halogen reflector headlamps, a 3.5-inch LCD instrument cluster, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen, four speakers, fabric seats, two airbags and 15-inch wheels. The Trend adds on things like Bluelink telematics, parking sensors as well as 16-inch wheels.
A seven-seat configuration is standard for the Stargazer, however a six-seater layout can be specified, and this will instead feature a pair of captain seats for the second row.
With the Perodua Alza topping out at RM75,500, the Toyota Veloz at RM95,000 and the Mitsubishi Xpander at RM99,980, the Stargazer’s pricing in Indonesia could be indicative; what do you think of the Hyundai entry compared to its local and Japanese rivals?

So many new Game-Changing MPVs coming to Malaysia, habislah Proton Exora!
Their staria can range from 180k to 360k, which is so odd! So how come this stargazer doesn’t hv entry price half the top of the range price?
Bruh the lower end of the Staria segment is priced under commercial side so it’s cheap.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Staria at Korea, only starts from 27 million won RM 95k+
It is cheaper than HR-V Malaysia.
Now Staria CKD edi mah, hence its price drop
never admire mpv except the larger mitsubishi grandis. But this one stands out from the crowd, looks futuristic, avant-garde yet still clean design.
The gaps between tires and fenders seem bigger on the actual cars in comparison with the official pics. Is the Malaysian spec different?
Yes, come come fast fast….. while some Malaysians are still frustrated with the long long wait for Alza
No moonroof how to stargaze?
The 4-stars Asean NCAP makes the stargazer less attractive compared to the rest. If its come with turbocharged diesel engine maybe will be more enticing.
exora also get only 4 star asean ncap dont see people complaining. lol
In 2022, ppl say it’s been dejavu for exora already
It has been awhile since Hyundai Matrix, was expecting Hyundai to bring Soul donkey years ago.
Overall this looks like a grown up Jazz
Should put a turbo diesel engine under the bonnet
Cool
If the price of this is similar to what’s sold in Indonesia, I would be amongst the early birds to book. But, I am not holding my breath, knowing how our govt operates in her protectionist policy.
Volvo apa tayar makan sebelah
Looked at indon spec no adaptive cruise control if it comes here like that then it’s a loser not worth the wait.
When staria married with expander…the result is stargazer
