Hyundai gives Stargazer right of view into South Africa in 2027
Local line-up will span two derivatives, two transmission options and a single normally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine.
Hyundai has announced plans to launch its Stargazer three-row MPV in South Africa in the first quarter of next year. The vehicle competes with rivals such as the Suzuki Ertiga, Toyota Rumion, Mitsubishi Xpander, and Kia Carens, which were all showcased alongside the Stargazer at a recent launch event. The Stargazer will be manufactured at the same Cikarang plant in Indonesia, where it shares a platform with the Kia Carens.
The car has undergone a mid-life facelift in Indonesia, which included updating its styling, rear fascia, and interior design. Initially introduced in Indonesia in 2022, the Stargazer will drop the Cartenz designation in South Africa. The vehicle will be offered with two trim levels, Premium and Executive, powered by a 1.5-liter petrol engine and a six-speed manual gearbox or CVT.
The Stargazer will have dimensions of 4,575mm in length, 2,780mm in wheelbase, 1,695mm in height, and 1,780mm in width. Its ground clearance stands at 205mm, and its boot space will range from 185 to 585 liters depending on the configuration.
