Hyundai Stargazer

At its Investors Day last year, Hyundai confirmed 26 new product launches for the Indian market, including seven all-new nameplates. The South Korean automaker also announced plans to enter the MPV and off-road SUV segments over the next five years. While official details are still pending, Hyundai Motor India is expected to introduce the Hyundai Stargazer MPV as a new ‘family mover’. The model is already on sale in Indonesia and several other Southeast Asian markets.

Launch Date

The exact launch timeline is yet to be revealed. However, Hyundai has confirmed that a new 7-seater MPV is a part of its product lineup for India through 2030. In terms of positioning, the Stargazer will sit between the budget MPV segment and premium family movers.

Expected Price in India

If Hyundai localizes production of the upcoming MPV, it’s expected to be priced as competitive as ₹9.60 Lakhs* for the base variant and around ₹9.60 Lakhs* for the fully loaded trim.

Key Features

Visually, the Stargazer looks different from the traditional family movers or MPVs. The front fascia appears aggressive with a massive parametric grille design, vertically stacked headlamps, a full-width horizon LED DRL bar across the nose and SUV-inspired front bumper. The larger glass area ensures better visibility, while the long-wheelbase offers a generously spacious cabin.

Other design highlights include strong should creases, 16-17-inch alloy wheels, connected lighting signature, H-shaped LED taillamps and wide tailgate opening. Dimensionally, the Hyundai Stargazer measures 4,460mm in length, 1,780mm in width and 1,690mm-1,695mm in height, while its wheelbase stands at 2,780mm.

In Indonesia, the Stargazer is offered in both 6 and 7-seats configurations. With over 30 storage spaces across the cabin and a large boot space with rear seats folded, the MPV makes a practical choice for family car buyers. It offers a dual-tone cabin theme with a large touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster.

The feature list also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, OTA updates, voice commands, Hyundai BlueLink connected car tech, ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, electric parking brake with auto hold, multiple USB charging ports, 6 airbags, electronic stability control, rear parking sensors, reverse camera, hill start assist and more. Hyundai SmartSense ADAS is exclusively offered on the higher trims.

Engine Specifications

Under the hood, the Hyundai Stargazer employs a 1.5L, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine producing power worth 115PS and 144Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and an iVT. A FWD (front-wheel drive) system comes as standard across the range.

Competition

With the Hyundai Stargazer, the South Korean automaker will target mainstream family car buyers looking for a practical, premium and yet affordable MPV. When launched, it will take on the models like Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Toyota Rumion and Kia Carens in the Indian market.
