Launched initially in Indonesia in 2021, this 7-seater MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) has quickly become a favorite in Southeast Asia for its innovative design and practical features. Coming to markets such as India (projected release, July 2026), the Hyundai Stargazer is guaranteed to turn everyday trips into memorable journeys that’ll make you glow like a star.
This guide will inform you about the sporty looks and stellar performance as well as functional technology to be your next meaningful family move. If you’re a city commuter or take long getaways, let’s find out some of the reasons, that the Hyunda Stargazer is a vehicle not just to move you, but the world to a new, easy mobility experience.
Design and Exterior
Looking at it for the first time, the Hyundai Stargazer strikes you right away with its “Parametric Dynamic” design language with sharp lines and aggressive front end giving it a contemporary flair. The signature Hyundai grille is flanked by vertically stacked LED headlamps that create the face, which is aggressive yet inviting. A full-length LED light bar emblem on the front underlines its premium character, and the H-shaped rear connected taillights on the rear ensure it is notice day or night.
Measuring approximately 4,495 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,735 mm in height with a 2,780 mm wheelbase, the Hyundai Stargazer offers a commanding road presence without feeling bulky.
Equipped with wagon-like star-patterned alloy wheels (16-17 inches based on variant) and 195/65 R16 tires to help ensure a smooth and supple ride, is offered in five lively colors like Fiery Red, Stargaze Blue, and Abyssal Black with an overall sculptural shape (Cd of 0.32) that facilitates fuel economy melts into the cosmic realm.
The side mirrors are outfitted with turn signals, a shark-fin antenna to blend it all together; a true head-turner that is as photo-ready as it is functional for family selfies along the way.
Interior Comfort
Stepping into the Hyundai Stargazer, you will find yourself within a cabin that maximizes space and comfort for a diverse group of passengers. The 7-seat layout (with optional 6-seat captain’s chairs) offers plenty of leg and headroom for rear seats, courtesy of the long wheelbase. The second row rear seat slides and reclines for personalized comfort, ultimately providing enough cargo space with the third-row rear seat the flat into the floor, for up to 1,500 liters of storage —perfect for weekend adventures or hauling groceries.
There are premium touches throughout, top dash materials offer smooth touch surfaces, as well as ambient LED light and roof-mounted AC vents to keep the rear passengers cool.
The seats are wrapped in breathable fabric or optional leatherette, with the driver’s perch offering 8-way manual adjustments and height control. Storage is thoughtful, with ergonomic pockets on doors, a cooled glovebox, and cup holders galore. Families will love the wireless charger and USB ports in every row, keeping devices powered during long drives. Overall, the Hyundai Stargazer’s interior scores high on practicality, scoring a 4.5/5 in user reviews for its “home-away-from-home” vibe.
Performance and Driving Dynamics
Beneath the surface, the Hyundai Stargazer is equipped with a 1.5-liter Smartstream Gamma MPI petrol engine, generating 113 bhp at 6,300 rpm and a torque rating of 144 Nm at 4,500 rpm. Coupled with a 6-speed manual or Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) CVT automatic, it can deliver brisk performance (0-100 kmph in approximately 12 seconds) with a top speed of 170 kmph. In terms of fuel economy, it delivers roughly 16-18 kmpl in mixed situations, making it an economical pick for one’s daily commute.
Surprisingly nimble for an MPV, the MacPherson strut front and the torsion beam rear suspension is tuned for Indian conditions and able to absorb dual-purpose and potholes with ease. Although it is electric power steering, the steering rack is light and accurate and the Hill-Start Assist and Vehicle Stability Management help with secure driving in hilly terrain or on slick surfaces.
The Eco, Normal and Sport drive modes create a choice for driving family through traffic or down the highway. Testers marveled at the Hyundai Stargazer’s NVH levels, which are calm enough for the recording of podcasts and for passengers to catch a few minutes sleep – designed for real-life family travels.
Tech and Infotainment
The Hyundai Stargazer shines in the digital realm with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth. Voice commands handle navigation, calls, and media, while a 6-speaker audio setup (with optional subwoofer) delivers immersive sound. The digital instrument cluster (4.2-inch) displays speed, fuel, and trip info at a glance, and rear passengers get their own entertainment via optional HDMI ports.
Safety is paramount with the Hyundai SmartSense suite standard on higher trims: Six airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control, and a 360-degree camera. Advanced driver aids include Blind Spot View Monitor, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go—rare in this segment.
A tire pressure monitoring system and ISOFIX child seat anchors round out the family-focused protections. In crash tests (ANCAP-equivalent in Indonesia), it earned a 5-star rating, giving parents peace of mind.
