Fresh from its Philippine debut last October 14, 2025, Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) is giving you the chance to test drive the facelifted Stargazer starting today until October 26 at the Alabang Town Center (ATC). 

Interested individuals who are looking for a seven-seater MPV can get behind the wheel of the new Stargazer thanks to the brand’s Hyundai Mobility Experience (HME) event. The said event also gives ATC mallgoers the opportunity to be among the first to get an up-close look at the new Hyundai Stargazer. 

HME visitors can explore Hyundai’s wide selection of vehicles while enjoying free refreshments from the Hyundai Café. The vehicle display at ATC’s Activity Center will feature both the new Stargazer and Stargazer X. Joining them are the Palisade Hybrid, Santa Fe Hybrid, Kona Hybrid, Creta N Line, and Venue

“We’re thrilled to showcase the new Stargazer for the first time here at Alabang Town Center. The Stargazer is a very important nameplate for us at HMPH, as Filipinos who are grounded by togetherness and family. Which is why through the Hyundai Mobility Experience, we want to bring our cars closer to people, while creating meaningful and enjoyable moments for everyone. Whether it’s through test drives, exclusive offers, or memorable activities at our display,” said HMPH Managing Director Cecil Capacete.

The new facelifted Hyundai Stargazer features subtle yet noticeable design updates. It comes with a redesigned grille integrated with a new LED center garnish lamp. The LED headlights and daytime running lights also received a design update, completing the front design package with a more rugged, bolder look than its predecessor. The rear end also features a new H-signature LED combination lamp that emphasizes Hyundai’s current design direction.

The 2026 Hyundai Stargazer still comes with a 1.5-liter Gamma II MPI gasoline engine that delivers 113 horsepower and 144 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), which is Hyundai’s version of a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Pricing for the updated Stargazer starts at P1,118,000.  

HMPH added that those who reserve any Hyundai model during the HME event will receive a free Knowell Camera Bag, as each reservation also contributes to Hyundai’s Donate-a-Bag initiative, which extends support to a partner foundation.
