2023 Hyundai Stargazer

THE all-new Hyundai Stargazer is now available for preorder in the Philippines, just a couple of months after the South Korean brand was relaunched with a new distributor, Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH). The first-ever Stargazer is Hyundai's entry into the entry-level subcompact seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) segment, competing with the likes of the Mitsubishi Xpander and Toyota Avanza.

Three variants of this subcompact MPV will be sold: GL, GLS, and GLS Premium (as shown). Regardless of which variant a motorist will choose, all have a futuristic design that consists of a horizontal mesh grille, a horizontal LED light bar (which are also the daytime running lights for the GLS and above), and a distinct set of H-shaped LED tail lights at the rear. All variants also come with 16-inch alloy wheels, but the GLS and above come with a two-tone finish. Other exterior features that the Stargazer GLS and higher trims get include remote engine start, while exclusive to the GLS Premium are LED headlights.
