Indonesia is Hyundai’s Southeast Asian hub as the Korean carmaker invested heavily in a plant that assembles the Hyundai Creta, Ioniq 5 as well as the Indo-focused Hyundai Stargazer 7-seater crossover. It might even be the first right-hand drive (RHD) market to debut the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe. A heavily camouflaged unit of the all-new MX generation Santa Fe was recently spotted in Jakarta. According to OtoDriver, the new-gen Santa Fe is probably being used for internal testing but it could be

While Malaysia has just yet to launch the facelifted version of the outgoing TM generation Hyundai Santa Fe, Philippines has confirmed that it will soon be launching the all-new MX generation 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe.

In fact, this is the price of mid-level property, and it makes much more sense to spend your hard earned cash in an asset instead. So can you get a 7-seater for less than RM100k?

The 7-seater / MPV segment in Malaysia hasn’t seen much action over the past couple of years. The Proton Exora and Perodua Alza are the longest-serving models here (and still are), while models like Nissan Grand Livina and Proton Ertiga have came and gone without a respective replacement model.
