The Hyundai Stargazer is the Hyundai that answered a simple question — how much car can this badge carry? — with 115 PS from Petrol engine. It was built from 2022, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Kim Chung-eun drew it.
How it came about
The Hyundai Stargazer is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by Hyundai Motor Company in Indonesia since 2022. The vehicle was first introduced on 15 July 2022 when the first units of the vehicle rolled off its assembly line at HMMI in Cikarang. It was launched and made its public debut at the 29th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on 11 August.
The hardware
Power comes from Petrol engine; 115 PS is the published figure; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1191 –. Work it out per tonne and you get about 97 horsepower — brisk everyday performance. It shifts through a 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / Continuously variable transmission / CVT. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2780 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Cikarang. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Kia EV6, the Toyota bZ4X, the BYD Frigate 07 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Hyundai stablemates include the Hyundai Accent WRC and the Hyundai Accent.
