Kuala Lumpur, 23 January 2025 – Hyundai Motor Malaysia celebrates another milestone as the STARIA range takes top honours at the Malaysia Car of the Year (MCOTY) 2025, with the STARIA Prestige 7-seater clinching the MPV ICE of the Year award. The accolade reinforces Hyundai’s strong footing in the MPV segment, offering Malaysian families a combination of premium comfort, advanced safety, and everyday practicality.
The award-winning STARIA Prestige 7-seater comes equipped with Hyundai SmartSense features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), and Smart Cruise Control (SCC), delivering both a refined and confident driving experience.
STARIA 10-Seater Gets Lifestyle-Friendly Enhancements
Hyundai Motor Malaysia has also updated the STARIA 10-seater to better suit modern families, business users, and active lifestyles. Priced from RM179,888 to RM267,888, the 10-seater now features a reconfigured front cabin with the middle seat removed, providing both the driver and front passenger more room and improved comfort.
In place of the middle seat is a newly designed floor console that adds practicality and convenience to everyday journeys. The console comes with a removable cup holder, retractable cup holder, storage box, and drawer tray, making it easier to organise personal items, drinks, and small gadgets. These upgrades make the STARIA 10-seater more versatile and user-friendly, whether for family trips, work, or multi-purpose use.
Chinese New Year Promotions
To celebrate the festive season, Hyundai Motor Malaysia is offering Total Drive Rewards across selected STARIA variants, with cash rebates of up to RM20,000. Festive promotions are also available on other models, including the New TUCSON and the all-new SANTA FE, across selected variants. Customers are encouraged to visit authorised Hyundai showrooms to explore the full range and enjoy these exclusive offers.
The STARIA continues to show Hyundai’s dedication to combining innovation, comfort, and practicality. With the Prestige 7-seater winning MPV ICE of the Year and the 10-seater upgrades addressing real-world usability, Hyundai has nailed the balance between luxury, family-friendliness, and everyday versatility. For anyone in the market for a spacious MPV that’s as functional as it is comfortable, the STARIA remains a top contender in Malaysia’s segment.
