It is not every day that an MPV turns heads and wins hearts at the same time. But the Hyundai STARIA has just done exactly that, and the industry is taking notice.
At the Malaysia Car of the Year (MCOTY) 2025 awards, the Hyundai STARIA Prestige 7-seater was crowned MPV ICE of the Year, reinforcing its strong presence in Malaysia’s competitive MPV segment. More than just a people mover, the STARIA has positioned itself as a premium family companion built for comfort, safety and everyday practicality.
Hyundai STARIA Recognised As MPV ICE Of The Year 2025
The award-winning Hyundai STARIA Prestige 7-seater impressed judges with its blend of refined design and advanced safety technologies. Equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, the model offers a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems including:
Advanced Hyundai SmartSense Safety Features
Safety remains a cornerstone of the Hyundai STARIA. The Prestige 7-seater comes with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA) and Smart Cruise Control (SCC).
These features work seamlessly to provide a confident and composed driving experience. For Malaysian families prioritising peace of mind, this recognition at MCOTY 2025 underscores the STARIA’s commitment to safety and innovation.
Upgraded Hyundai STARIA 10-Seater Designed For Modern Lifestyles
While the 7-seater celebrates its award win, Hyundai Motor Malaysia is also elevating the range with thoughtful enhancements to the Hyundai STARIA 10-seater.
Priced from RM179,888 to RM267,888, the upgraded 10-seater now features a reconfigured front cabin layout. The removal of the middle front seat creates additional room for the driver and front passenger, improving overall comfort and accessibility.
In place of the middle seat, Hyundai introduces a new floor console designed with functionality in mind. It includes a removable cup holder, retractable cup holder, storage box and drawer tray. These are practical touches that make daily journeys more organised and convenient.
These upgrades enhance in-cabin versatility, making the Hyundai STARIA 10-seater especially suitable for large families, business owners and those needing a multi-purpose vehicle that adapts to work and leisure demands.
Chinese New Year Promotions Add Extra Value
To make the celebration even more rewarding, Hyundai Motor Malaysia is offering Total Drive Rewards this Chinese New Year. Customers can enjoy cash rebates of up to RM20,000 across selected variants, including the upgraded Hyundai STARIA 10-seater.
Festive rebates are also available for other Hyundai models such as the New TUCSON and the all-new SANTA FE, giving buyers more reasons to visit authorised Hyundai showrooms nationwide and book a test drive.
