In 2022, Hyundai launched the affordable MPV Stargazer to compete with manufacturers like Toyota, Daihatsu, and Mitsubishi in the Indonesian market.
The futuristic design has now been updated for the 2025 model year, featuring a bolder appearance and modern amenities.
The new facelift version of the Stargazer is known as the Stargazer Cartenz, named after Cartenz Peak, the highest mountain in Indonesia.
Significant changes are evident at the front, with more traditional headlight units, LED daytime running lights shaped like fangs, a grille structure, and a larger opening in the front bumper.
The new longer hood structure eliminates the egg-like appearance of the previous Stargazer.
At the rear, the Stargazer Cartenz features a redesigned bumper and thinner LED lights.
The Cartenz X model includes unique characteristics such as higher roof rails, protective plastic cladding around the body, a more aggressive bumper, and shiny black rims.
The Stargazer’s cabin has also been updated, with a digital cluster screen and central display integrated into a single panel, along with separate climate control panels.
As standard, the Stargazer comes with a seven-seat configuration; however, buyers can opt for the Captain Seat configuration in the middle to convert it into a six-seater vehicle.
Other features include ventilated seats with electric adjustments, wireless charging, a Bose sound system, smart cruise control, and a blind spot monitoring system.
The Cartenz X model is equipped with Shift-by-Wire technology, eliminating the gear lever for a more spacious central console.
In terms of power, the Stargazer retains the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 113 hp and 144 Nm of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT.
Compared to its predecessor, this facelift version has increased dimensions, with an additional 115 mm in length, while the wheelbase remains at 2,780 mm, and ground clearance is at 205 mm.
In Indonesia, Hyundai sells the Stargazer Cartenz starting at Rp 350,400,000 (RM 90,580), while the Stargazer Cartenz X starts at Rp 361,900,000 (RM 93,553).
