SHAH ALAM, 23 November 2016 - Family favorite MPV, the Hyundai Grand Starex Royale, has been given a makeover, featuring an exciting new look, making its presence on the road even more distinct and bold.

"The all new Grand Starex Royale 2017 facelift comes with a superior bold look that can best be described as daring, fearless and brave,” said Mr. Lau Yit Mun, Managing Director of Hyundai Sime Darby Malaysia (HSDM).
“Breaking away from the previous design and identity, the aero dynamic side cladding and bent high glossy black sculpture rear design sees the Starex being transformed totally,” Lau added.
While the earlier version has a more traditional grille that sits just above the front bumper, the 2017 facelift has a grille design that continues downward and become part of the bumper design. This naturally add changes to the fog lights on the front bumper. While the Grand Starex Royale wins hands down as a favourite and affordable family MPV, the new design will also be equally appealing to the younger generation, which makes it an ideal MPV for everyone. Overall it is suitable to all Malaysian.
