This is exactly what I thought when the hyundai starex first came to the Philippines, it was unique in its aerodynamic shape in the 90s. Good to see hyundai still having that unique styling in this segment.
Best review by far + best passenger van by far. Really hoping long-term maintenance would be closely as easy and cheap as the overrated Hiace, not that they're bad but this definitely isn't only a breathe of fresh air but also a class of its own tbh. And yes, more Jack(tama ba spelling lol) exposure to come pls. Makes the overall review so much better with those interactions between Jack and Caco hehe.
A decent upgrade from the decent starex. I love how Hyundai's innovation of their car design. Hopefully they can also bring the new accent model here in PH.
Best car reviews in the Philippines, great job Caco. I like the Staria, I’m browsing for a MPV and I shortlisted it but I strongly believe Hyundai PH made the wrong choices with the trims they brought in. Same with Kia with the Carnival. I find the 7 seater mostly for executives, not practical for a family of 5 (3rd row always up and luggage dangerously place all over the cabin). Both Staria and Carnival have options with 3 seats in the middle row, the 8 seater Carnival with three individual seats is very practical for a family. For an 11 seater they already have the commuter, the Tourer version would have been the perfect fit between the Premium and the Commuter.
My mom fell in love with this variant when my fam went out looking for our next car :))) we had to go with the Stargazer X as it would fit our garage and needs better, but probably one day!
If you're sceptical about its reliability just know that this engine has been around since the second gen santa fe which you can find around second hand racking up miles in the odometer. Also just because the starex was used as a St Peter's favourite i don't see anyone saying the same shit with Cadillacs.
Hmmm maybe a plus to future car reviews the speaker system. Like a test or something. Some people like myself is very into the sound quality inside the cabin. Thanks guyss
Hi Caco, ive been a fan for years. Just a feedback for 7 seaters and up. As a family guy with 4 kids. I wanted to see how these types of cars look like when in full capacity. There are some automobiles in these segments that tend to drop really low when in full capacity. The back drops and the front nose looks elevated which in some cases is a bit cumbersome pointing upwards. Thanks and stay awesome!
I wish most manufacturers do this on top of the line SUVs (Fortuner, Terra, MUX etc) yung captain seats options, last na nakita ko eh sa CX8 top of the line lang
Honestly when the Staria first leaked I never thought Hyundai would go the "softer" route since they have the Carnival already, not to mention the love-it-hate-it design, it actually grew on me already, then I realized it somehow resembles the first-generation bulbous Starex which I really loved, that thing was just too comfortable for terrible PH roads. Still don't get the 3+3+2+3 layout though, I believe some markets have the usual 2+2+2+3 layout. I wonder if you can remove the second row and slide the captains forward or switch the 2nd and 3rd rows instead. Even better if you switch the front passenger and 2nd bench seat with additional 2 captain seats as well. for a 2+2+2+3 layout, somehow resembling the higher-end variants. Also, I think there's a huge gap between the GLS+ and Premium, many Pinoys won't need AWD anyway so a cheaper FWD Premium could be a bestseller too.
"There are some slight vibrations you will feel inside the automobile when you're driving a little spiritedly, which I don't know why you would in a van" A counter point, sir Caco: mini van, mega fun :)
The front row has a seat in between the driver and passenger seat. If you look at the cup holder in the middle, it unfolds and creates a seat like most pickup trucks
Maybe you've answered this in the past videos but I'm a fairly new subscriber and since you keep referencing your height, I just gotta ask now - what's your height po? Also to get a good idea on the vehicle because I'm not tall myself. Thanks!
I've driven different mini vans. There is no difference whether you are climbing up a hill or leveled terrain. Rear wheel drives actually tend to fish tail on slippery roads while FWD don't.
@@glenndelacruz2906 ah okay po thank you sa paliwanag. Naalala ko kc yung MB 1000 yata yung model ng van n yun prng front whell drive sya at mahina daw sa ahunan ky hndi naging mabenta compared sa competitor's na nk rear wheel drive. Yun nga lng sa mga nabasa ko mas magaan ng kpg front wheel drive.
Apart from been a Hyundai product and you know what a bad reputation they have enough said but were l live in Australia there is this Staria anf the back window obviously shatered and l drive past it every day and they have covered it with a large peice of plastic and it has been like that for months and Australia is pretty good for getting parts for vehicles old and new l have had experience with that l have a 26 year old Toyota and it needs plenty of parts and have no trouble getting any part for it and it is obv
I found myself watching Caco’s car reviews for no reason at all. He’s soooooo good and feels so light to watch. BEST car reviewer I’ve ever watched.

We bought ours 6 months ago and this review is spot on! Very happy with our Staria.
How is it so far?
leather pp ba yung seats?
My heart skipped a beat from the truck almost hitting you @13:22

Thank God, hyundai phils got the right specs and pricing compare to previous distributor- HARI
Wow im amazed with the features, practicality and design. Hyundai nailed it!
never a dull moment when you are doing the walk around, nice review as always

Which has a better riding comfort between the 2020 Starex vs 2023 Staria GLS+ ? (from the 1st row up to the last row). Thanks

Great Van. The only issue I had was the erratic tire pressure monitoring system.
can it be turned off or not?

Placed an order today with reservation fee paid when we saw this video yesterday. Woooh!! Thanks for the comprehensive review as always, Caco!
how long is the wait?
@@glenndelacruz2906 Supposedly 1.5 months, but I was notified that it will be delayed to the end of this month of May because of Customs. So 2 months
Just noticed the DRL at the hood is not the same as the premium one.
177hp and spirited driving. That's a yes.
The cooler, man! 😂😂😂
Nice review! Do the 2nd and 3rd row seats recline as well?
Yes, they do
YO! Not everyday I get to see my idols featured in a car review. Nice Easter egg for alphaz! XG!
i would prefer the 2nd row has captain seats also, just like the 3rd row it will look and feel more premium
Perfect exterior and interior
Wow! Just wow.... I want this badly. Pera na lang kulang. Hehe😅
Why does your voice soinds normal on a x.75 playback speed...? Awesome review though. 💯💯💯
Wish they had captain chairs for the 2nd row in this model.
Caco is istening to XG - Shooting Stars. Nice Van and nice review as always! Let's go!!!

Oh yeah, a cooler fits in the back. Hoping that i could cramp up a unalive body at the back also

I think this should be madatory for car reviews since we all have different heights, thus making it easier on what to expect. 😊

the fuel consumption is not good for 2.2 engine i expected that it would be more fuel efficient
Teka, bakit puro XG and kpop mga songs sa infotainment systems of recent reviews? Great music taste!
Looks like the Previa from the outside.
