0

Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) has unveiled the new Stargazer and Stargazer X, which sports a refreshed look, upgraded features, and enhanced convenience. Featuring heavily revamped styling that swaps the futuristic, rounded visage for a bolder, more SUV-esque look, the new Stargazer receives new front and rear ends that take after the latest Hyundai SUV design.

The new Sheriff-style front combination lights—now mounted conventionally in contrast to the bumper-situated lighting units of its predecessor—and highly detailed grille are the biggest changes to the fascia. The rear highlights a sharp refresh on the distinctive H-signature LED taillights and bumper.

An exclusive to the Stargazer X is a new functional bridge-type roof rail to complement active lifestyles. This can accommodate extra cargo storage of up to 100kg—perfect for quick weekend getaways or family adventures. Combined with its class-leading 2,780mm wheelbase and 17” alloy wheels, the Stargazer offers more stability, space, and unmistakable character to its segment. 

Under the hood, the new Stargazer is powered by a 1.5L gasoline engine delivering 115ps and 144Nm of torque. Fuel efficiency is claimed to be 16.95 km/L (expect a test drive report on this soon).

Inside, the Stargazer has been thoughtfully upgraded for both the driver and passengers. Its best-in-class wheelbase allows for even more legroom across all rows, providing every passenger with a relaxed and spacious ride. Flexibility is also a defining feature with the 60-40 split-folding and full-flat seat configuration that allows easy adaptation for either passengers or cargo, offering a maximum capacity of 1,892L for all kinds of family adventures.

The cockpit showcases Hyundai’s technology leadership with two first-in-segment 10.25” displays: a digital instrument cluster with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), as well as an integrated infotainment display that supports Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Comfort and convenience are further enhanced with a new automatic climate control system, wireless charging pad, and new ambient lighting, creating a modern and relaxing atmosphere inside. Meanwhile, its low NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance ensures a quiet and serene cabin, perfect for those long drives or peaceful moments with the little ones on board.
