The Stargazer will be available in three Smartstream IVT-powered variants (1.5 GL, 1.5 GLS, and 1.5 GLS Premium) at an introductory retail net price of Php 998,000 (subject to freight and other provincial charges) for its base variant. The Stargazer is the futuristic and smart 7-seater that is ready to elevate the driving experience of its owners:·
- Revolutionary Styling – Shows off a futuristic look that exudes dynamic and expressive characteristics as seen in the horizontal LED daytime running lights (DRL) and positioning lamps in front as well as the unique H-shaped lights in the rear. Its sleek one-curve silhouette optimizes cabin height and improves aerodynamics, enabling a smoother ride and better fuel efficiency.
- Premium and Spacious Interior – Capable of accommodating 7 adult passengers with ease because of its largest-in-class wheelbase. This translates to roomier interior space in the 2nd and 3rd row on top of its flexible seat configurations. This is complemented by a variety of multifunctional storage spaces such as the hidden dashboard tray, seatback table, and headrest bag hook.
- Safe and Worry-Free Drive – Built to provide confidence and peace of mind, it is equipped with Hyundai Smart Sense, the brand’s advanced driver assistance system. This includes, but is not limited to, collision avoidance, blind spot detection, tire pressure monitoring, and rear occupant alert. Furthermore, it carries a host of intuitive features like the 4.2-inch TFT LCD cluster that is synced with every drive mode along with the infotainment system that is Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatible.
