Following the launch of the Hyundai Venue facelift, the South Korean automaker has teased a new MPV called the Stargazer. The new MPV will take forward the legacy of the Hyundai Trajet in these markets and cover the Southeast Asian market. Based on the details revealed by the teaser, the new model shares some of its details with the Hyundai Staria. If the MPV is launched in the Indian market, it will face stiff competition from the already established Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to attract the attention of the consumers.
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Hyundai Venue have been updated, and the competition is all set to start again. The MPV has a full-width LED bar, similar to the Staria. Solid headlamps and a massive front grille that covers most of the bumper are further design features. Moving to the rear, a wide and slim LED bar is located under the rear windscreen and adds to the elegant taillights. Stargazer lettering can also be found on the tailgate. It is easy to notice the beautiful alloy wheel design. Little has been revealed about the interiors of the Hyundai Stargazer MPV, but the interiors have been kept in the shade.
Since Hyundai and Kia are sharing their platforms for their vehicles, the new model may share its base with the recently launched Kia Carens MPV. If that remains the case, the MPV will be powered by a 1.5-litre petrol or diesel engine. Apart from this, the engine may get a manual transmission along with the engine with the option of automatic transmission.

The Stargazer MPV is to be officially unveiled by Hyundai in July. The car will be built in Indonesia, where the carmaker also produces the Creta, Santa Fe and Ioniq 5. For the first time, the car will be released in Indonesia, which will be followed by a release in India. However, Hyundai is yet to release any information about the Hyundai Stargazer coming to India.
