Verdict
At RM99,800, the Stargazer Style delivers the same 113 hp, 144 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine, IVT and seven-seat layout as the Prime, so there is no mechanical sacrifice. The RM10,000 step to the RM109,800 Prime is chiefly a safety and cabin-equipment purchase: six airbags, Hyundai SmartSense, adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go, a 10.25-inch screen and 17-inch wheels. For Malaysian family use, those active-safety systems make the Prime the one to stretch for; the Style suits a firmer budget.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer Style if you want the same 113 hp seven-seat Stargazer drivetrain and can do without driver-assistance systems.
Pick the Hyundai Stargazer Prime if six airbags, Hyundai SmartSense and adaptive cruise control justify an extra RM10,000 for your family car.
