Hyundai Stargazer pre-booking now open, to arrive on Nov. 8 with P998,000 starting price

MANILA: Hyundai Motors Philippines, Inc. (HMPH) has officially launched the Stargazer, the brand’s contender in the MPV segment. The Stargazer, which made its world debut at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in Jakarta last August, will be available at authorized dealerships nationwide by November 8. The Stargazer is now available for pre-order through HMPH, which is only the second distributor to offer it.

The Stargazer comes in three variants: GL, GLS, and GLS Premium. All variants come with Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The base variant has an introductory retail nett price of P998,000.

The seven-seater Stargazer is a futuristic and smart vehicle that is poised to upgrade its owners' driving experiences.

The horizontal LED daytime running lights (DRL), positioning lamps, and distinctive H-shaped lights in the rear give the Stargazer a futuristic vibe that emanates energetic and expressive qualities. Its sleek, one-curve silhouette optimizes cabin height while simultaneously improving aerodynamics for a more comfortable ride and greater fuel efficiency.

Its largest-in-class wheelbase makes it easily fit seven adult passengers. This, together with the flexible seating configuration, leads to more interior room in the second and third rows. This is complemented by a variety of multipurpose storage spaces, including the hidden dashboard tray, headrest bag hook, and seatback table.

Designed to instill confidence and peace of mind, the Stargazer is equipped with Hyundai Smart Sense, the brand's advanced driver assistance system. This includes, but is not limited to, rear occupant alert, tire pressure monitoring, and collision avoidance. The Stargazer also  has a range of user-friendly features, including a 4.2-inch TFT LCD cluster that syncs with every drive mode and an infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

“The share in the market of MPVs continues to increase year-on-year. And along with this growth are the evolving considerations when choosing the right one. As a brand, our focus on humanity is driven by our commitment to understand what people want in life so we can offer them an ownership journey that is meaningful and rewarding. Which is why Hyundai Motor is bringing in the Stargazer as it is not just a head-turner, but a game-changer,” HMPH Managing Director Cecil Capacete stated. “With the Stargazer we wish to set a new benchmark in its segment. We recognize the emergence of the modern lifestyle and needs among Filipino families and we intend to address these through our future-oriented design, top-of-class advanced safety and technological systems and unmatched driver and passenger comfort.”

The official public launch of Hyundai Stargazer will happen on November 9 through the official Hyundai Motor Philippines Facebook page.
