The shipment follows several local previews. The Style and Prime were first shown at KLIMS 2026, while an Indonesian-market version of the X appeared at HMY’s Durian Runtuh Sales Event at the MBPJ Stadium Car Park last month.

There is already some information on what buyers can expect.

The seating layout is one detail families should pay attention to. Moving up to the X brings individual second-row chairs, but reduces total capacity to six people. The Style and Prime accommodate seven.

Hyundai is marketing the Stargazer under the ‘WEhicle’ branding, focusing on family use, everyday practicality and weekend trips. With the first batch now here, the next announcement should settle the final prices and equipment buyers will get for their money.
