These are Hyundai Stargazer X's 3 appealing hues

The Hyundai Stargazer X was introduced to the Philippine market as a beefier-looking alternative to the Stargazer multi-purpose vehicle. 

So at a glance, the model carries all the desirable qualities of its sibling. It has a roomy three-row cabin, leather-clad interior surfaces, and plenty of other creature comforts. 

Additionally, the aforementioned model comes with a lot of technologies as a standard. Its lineup of advanced driver-assist systems comes with high beam assist, manual speed-limit assist, forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and driver attention warning - among others. 

It likewise features a decently peppy 1.5-liter engine paired with Hyundai’s proprietary Intelligent Variable Transmission. At maximum, the said powertrain can generate up to 113 horsepower and 114 Newton-meters of torque. 

Being inspired by sports utility vehicle models, the Stargazer X also boasts plenty of eye-catching exterior details, like its abundance of body cladding, as well as its front and rear skid plates. The said bits are complemented by the model’s black-colored 3D grille, square-shaped LED headlamp clusters, and razor-thin daytime running lamps. 

The Philippine-spec Hyundai Stargazer X, however, has three exterior paint options for car buyers to choose from. So, how do the said colors affect the look of the ride? Let’s find out here. 

Magnetic Silver Metallic

One of the more non-descript color options for the Stargazer X is Magnetic Silver Metallic. So, for buyers wanting a stylish but quiet-looking ride, this hue might be the way to go. 

Like all silver-clad cars on the roads today, it doesn’t warrant much attention from onlookers. Upon closer inspection, however, the type of silver the Hyundai-made model utilizes does a good job of highlighting the vehicle’s black-colored body claddings and its black-colored trim pieces. 

As most veteran car buyers and owners know, silver is also good at hiding paint imperfections and minor scratches. Detailers also say silver is easier to deal with when it comes to maintaining its luster. 

Creamy White Pearl

For the Stargazer X, the brightest and lightest color option is Creamy White Pearl. It makes the vehicle more visible to the naked eye, but otherwise, it will likely camouflage itself in traffic since white is a notably popular color option in the Philippine market. 

Concerning how it affects the look of the MPV itself, it makes the black-colored parts stand out more. The aforementioned is particularly true for the model’s grille, which is arguably the most visually appealing element of the Hyundai-made ride’s exterior. 

Additionally, white also makes for a good contrast against the several silver-colored bits found on the Stargazer X. Specifically, the said parts on the ride that come in silver include its front and rear skid plates and its roof rails. 

Unlike Magnetic Silver Metallic, however, white paint options can be a hassle to keep in tip-top shape. Due to its lightness, scratches and paint imperfections can be made more obvious. On the flipside, the vehicle can be made easy to spot in low light or low visibility driving situations. 

Dragon Red Pearl

Out of the three available Stargazer X paint options, Dragon Red Pearl is the loudest. Mind you, it isn’t tacky, nor is it too bright, but it definitely provides the model with a sporty vibe that younger car buyers would like. 

As mentioned, though, the type of red the paint option uses is slightly muted. Nevertheless, it brings out the adventurous feeling that Hyundai touts the Stargazer X could provide. 

Like the white option, it does well in bringing out the black and silver-colored exterior parts of the three-row vehicle. Again, this is especially true for the grille - the centerpiece of the Stargazer X. 

Final thoughts

To sum it all up, Dragon Red Pearl is the one to choose for buyers who would like a sporty, lively-feeling MPV. Silver Magnetic Pearl, meanwhile, can be a good choice for folks who want some semblance of anonymity when traveling around Philippine roads. On the other hand, Creamy White Pearl is for folks who want a bright-looking ride with good visual contrast between its body and its darker exterior parts. 

In the end, we urge those who are seriously considering the Stargazer X to see the model in the metal first. Or better yet, give it a good old test drive just to be sure it’s really the right car for you.
