Car Profiles - Hyundai Starex

HYUNDAI STAREX

As the Grand Starex, it has more space but moved to rival on the Hiace and Urvan, whose engine are under the seats. Variety is the game, with a basic diesel engine that can seat 12 to a uplevel model with leather seats. Not as bumpy as rivals, a good thing.

The Good: Spacious and practical

The Bad: Confusing number of variants

Price Range: P1,248,000-P2,055,000
