Verdict
The Hyundai Stargazer Prime is the rational choice for a Malaysian family needing seven seats: it retains the 1,497 cc, 113 hp and 143 Nm petrol-IVT drivetrain for RM11,000 less. The Hyundai Stargazer X does not buy extra performance, but it trades one seat for autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go, 17-inch black alloys and dual 10.25-inch displays. Pick the X if its six-seat layout suits your household and those driver-assistance items matter; otherwise, the Prime gives you the extra passenger place for less money.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer Prime if you need seven seats and would rather save RM11,000 than pay for the X’s added safety and convenience kit.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer X if six seats are enough and you want autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go and 17-inch wheels.
