Verdict
The BYD M6 costs RM10,800 more at RM109,800, but it is the more substantial electric MPV proposition: its 161 hp, 310 Nm motor, 55.4 kWh battery and claimed 420 km range suit buyers able to charge regularly. It also brings a 2,800 mm wheelbase, 580-litre boot and 360-degree camera. The RM99,000 Hyundai Stargazer is the cheaper petrol alternative, with a 1.5-litre 113 hp/143 Nm engine and CVT. Both are seven-seat, front-wheel-drive CBU MPVs with RM120 annual road tax. The choice hinges on charging access, not seat count.
Pick the BYD M6 if you can charge at home or work and want 420 km claimed EV range, 310 Nm and a 580-litre boot.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer if a RM99,000 petrol MPV better suits your refuelling routine and you want to save RM10,800 upfront.
