The launch of the Hyundai new STARGAZER in Thailand may change many people's views on 3-row, 6-seat vehicles priced under 800,000 baht. Previously, this price range was seen as offering only basic, value-focused cars. However, Hyundai Mobility (Thailand) Co., Ltd. clearly announced that the latest facelifted new STARGAZER model aims to raise the standard for vehicles suited to new families or startups. Notably, it includes up to 13 intelligent safety systems under Hyundai SmartSense (ADAS), the most comprehensive in its class, and offers superior comfort compared to others in the same price range, with a special introductory price starting at just 719,000 baht.
The Hyundai new STARGAZER is a 6-seat, 3-row multipurpose vehicle facelift developed under the concept Life Upgrader - enhancing life beyond expectations. It targets users with multiple life roles, including new families, SME entrepreneurs, and modern workers needing a single vehicle to meet all their needs, fully equipped with up to 13 Hyundai SmartSense (ADAS) systems.
ADAS covers everything from "reducing fatigue" to "minimizing risks."
The Hyundai SmartSense (ADAS) safety technology in the Hyundai new STARGAZER is designed to reduce driver burden in daily situations, especially in heavy urban traffic. Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go automatically adjusts speed to the car ahead and can stop and start accordingly, easing fatigue from constant accelerator and brake use. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Junction Turning (FCA-JT) warns and applies emergency braking at intersections, a common accident spot. Additionally, the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold allows the car to stay stopped without holding the brake pedal at red lights, enhancing real-world convenience.
For vehicle control and driving stability, the new STARGAZER includes Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) that steers the wheel back if the car unintentionally drifts out of its lane, and Lane Following Assist (LFA) that continuously keeps the car centered in its lane. These features make long-distance driving steadier and reduce driver stress. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) help lower risks in common road situations like lane changes in heavy traffic or reversing out of parking spaces. These systems detect vehicles in blind spots, alert the driver, and apply braking if necessary, greatly boosting confidence for urban driving.
Furthermore, the safety systems protect passengers and support all travel phases, such as Safe Exit Warning (SEW) that alerts if a vehicle approaches from behind when opening a door, Driver Attention Warning (DAW) detecting driver fatigue, Leading Vehicle Depart Alert (LVDA) notifying when the car ahead moves, Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) reminding to check rear passengers after engine shutdown, and High Beam Assist (HBA) that automatically switches high beams based on traffic conditions. These comprehensive ADAS developments in the STARGAZER focus not only on adding features but also on overall safety, convenience, and practical use throughout every journey.
A cabin designed to adapt to lifestyles with truly upgraded comfort from Captain Seats.
Another highlight reflecting the "Life Upgrader" concept is the 6-seat, 3-row cabin featuring independent Captain Seats in the second row—the only one in this segment. This seat design addresses real user pain points such as passenger comfort, ease of entry and exit, and flexible use, especially when traveling with multiple passengers or family members across generations.
A key feature is the Walk Through design between the second-row seats, allowing easy access to the third row without folding or sliding seats as with typical MPVs. The third-row seats are also designed for adults to sit comfortably, supporting full use of all 6 seats. The cargo space can expand up to 1,892 liters when folding the second and third rows, enabling the vehicle to serve both family and business needs in one car, emphasizing versatility without compromise.
Performance focuses on smoothness and fuel efficiency.
The new STARGAZER is powered by a 1.5 MPi engine producing up to 113 horsepower and 144 Nm of torque, paired with an IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission) that emphasizes smooth acceleration and driving comfort. This setup suits everyday use, especially in city traffic where smoothness is preferred over aggressiveness. It also achieves impressive fuel efficiency of up to 17.24 km/liter, delivering excellent value for daily driving.
Another clearly improved aspect is NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) reduction, which lowers cabin noise and vibrations, making the interior quieter and more relaxing, especially on multi-passenger trips. The front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam suspension are tuned for a "soft yet controlled" ride, confident for both city driving and long journeys. Overall, the new STARGAZER is easy to drive, comfortable to ride in, and ideal for daily use.
The new STARGAZER represents a modern family car concept that looks beyond seating capacity, prioritizing safety, comfort, and versatile usability clearly suited to everyday life.
