Stargazer in 2026 — what's new

The 2026 Hyundai Stargazer is the KS facelift, introduced as a new generation in Malaysia. It carries a 1,497 cc naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 113 hp, driving the front wheels through a CVT automatic. The range comprises Style, Prime and X grades. The X is the six-seat version, with captain seats, and is sourced from Indonesia. No later 2026 update is specified beyond this facelift range.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the RM99,000 Style because all three versions use the same 1,497 cc, 113 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive and CVT automatic. The RM109,000 Prime costs RM10,000 more, but the mechanical specification does not change; check the equipment list before paying for trim alone. Choose the RM120,000 X only if six seats and captain seats are essential, as that RM21,000 step up from Style does not buy extra power or a different drivetrain.

Verdict

The Stargazer’s appeal is straightforward: a compact MPV format, 1.5-litre petrol power and CVT automatic transmission across the range. Buyers wanting captain seats have a clear route in the six-seat X. But the published specification gives no basis to judge cabin space, ride comfort, refinement or fuel consumption, and the Prime and X bring no stated mechanical advantage over the Style.
