Bolder and Smarter Hyundai Stargazer Rolls Out

Hyundai Motor Philippines continues its strong product push this year with the launch of the refreshed 2026 Stargazer and Stargazer X, giving one of the country’s top-selling MPVs a sharper look and smarter tech.

The new Stargazer lineup trades its soft curves for a bolder, crossover-inspired stance. The front and rear ends have been reworked with a more upright hood, reshaped fenders, and aggressive bumpers. The signature full-width LED light bar remains, now linked to vertically stacked DRLs for a stronger visual punch. At the back, the plate holder has been moved to the bumper, and the tail lamps feature a new, angular graphic.

For those who prefer a tougher appearance, the Stargazer X doubles down with black cladding, large roof rails rated for up to 100 kilograms, and an extended rear spoiler. It also rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and sports blacked-out badges for a sportier look.

Inside, Hyundai redesigned the dashboard to integrate dual 10.25-inch displays — one for the driver and another for the infotainment system — both supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A wireless charger, automatic climate control, and mood lighting add to the upgraded feel. The cabin retains its reputation for spaciousness, with a 2,780 mm wheelbase that continues to lead its class.

All variants are now equipped with Hyundai’s Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) paired with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 115 horsepower and 144 Nm of torque. Manual transmission options are gone, signaling Hyundai’s move toward smoother and more efficient drivetrains.

Safety has also taken a leap forward. The Stargazer X Premium gets the full Hyundai SmartSense suite, which includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane keeping assist, forward collision avoidance, and blind spot monitoring. All variants come with stability control, reverse sensors, and a rear camera as standard.

Color options for the Stargazer include Midnight Black Pearl, Creamy White Pearl, Magnetic Silver Metallic, Titan Gray Metallic, and Dragon Red Pearl. The Stargazer X adds two-tone versions with black roofs.
