Verdict
The Hyundai Staria 2.2D Prestige 10-Seater justifies its RM13,000 premium for family buyers who will use its active safety kit: it adds blind-spot information, autonomous braking, collision warning and lane-keeping steering correction. Adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera also make a 5,253-mm MPV easier to manage. The Prime is not stripped bare, retaining six airbags, LED projector headlamps and the same 175 hp/431 Nm 2.2-litre diesel with an eight-speed automatic. If those driver aids are not a priority, save the money and take the Prime.
Pick the Hyundai Staria 2.2D Prime 10-Seater if you want the same 175 hp diesel drivetrain and 10-seat cabin for RM13,000 less.
Pick the Hyundai Staria 2.2D Prestige 10-Seater if autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera matter to your family transport.
