Verdict
The RM10,000 gap is hard to justify from the numbers alone. Both Stargazer variants use the same 1,497 cc petrol engine with 113 hp and 143 Nm, driving the front wheels through an IVT CVT, and both seat seven. Annual road tax is also RM120. For a Malaysian family buyer, the Style delivers identical mechanical and seating fundamentals for less; choose the Prime only after confirming its extra trim or equipment suits your needs.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer Style if you want the same 113 hp, 143 Nm and seven seats while keeping RM10,000 in your pocket.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer Prime if its RM10,000 higher price is justified by equipment or trim details confirmed with the dealer.
