Thus, Stargazer will be the cheapest product in the segment, only at the same price as B-sized sedans (automatic transmission).

In the international market, Hyundai Stargazer X is positioned as a `hybrid MPV SUV`.

However, with the configuration of variants available for sale in Vietnam and a listed price nearly 100 million VND cheaper than the previous two high versions of Stargazer (625-675 million VND), this model will still compete with other competitors.
