Verdict
Mechanically, these two 10-seat Starias are locked together: both use the same 2,199 cc diesel with 175 hp and 431 Nm, the same automatic, front-wheel drive and a 12.4-second 0-100 km/h time. The Style costs RM179,888, the Prime RM196,888, so the RM17,000 gap does not buy more performance, space or airbags. On paper, you're paying for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list before signing.
Pick the Hyundai Staria 2.2D Style 10-Seater if you want the same 175 hp, 431 Nm, 10 seats and 430-litre boot for RM17,000 less.
Pick the Hyundai Staria 2.2D Prime 10-Seater if its trim and cabin equipment justify the RM17,000 extra to you.
