Hyundai Staria Premium+ vs Toyota Super Grandia Elite: Van Big Test | Top Gear Philippines

[@crosswindxt2229]

Let's not forget awd feature folks awd gives you full traction whether in bad road nor in good road. I own a Toyota Innova and a Subaru Xv and boy I can really tell the big difference with a rear wheel drive compared to an awd.If I was gonna choose between the two vans of course I'll choose the Staria because of it's AWD feature.

[@marjhewitt]

Our family owns a Corolla, a Hi-ace, a CRV (the oldest model), a Civic, a Montero, a BMW, a Ford, and a Starex. The Starex is our family's favorite. Toyota's AC breaks down a lot, and not just in our units. Our friends and cousins complain about it, too. Also, longevity-wise, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai don't disappoint. Sorry, experience counts for a lot.

[@benedictpaner6814]

For me the Staria is the best of the best, 2 sunroof, vgt turbo engine, power recliner seat with ottoman & euro 5 powerplant. Also all windows have sunshades. Plus aero dynamic & 2 sliding doors. For me the host are ignorant & know nothing about vans

[@mikem8816]

Obviously, may pinapaboran ang hosts! For those who have seen both units in the "flesh", im very very sure you will see what i mean. Staria packs more amenities than Grandia. Be honest guys. I dont trust Top Gear Phils anymore. Sorry.

[@buciritchan5401]

Problema pg nasira Mahal pagawa ng Hyundai mabilis bumagsak resel value.. pero kung power at performance at comfort lamang tlga staria tpos kagandahan sa staria all new pa

[@warbuns1785]

late response daw sa turbo, lahat naman ng diesel engine, my milisecond tlgang late response. hindi man lng na mention ung special SMART drive feature ng Staria 😂😂

[@analogdriver88]

Gamit namin Toyota, Subaru, Land Rover, etc. pero guess what ang favorite namin sakyan as a family….Starex! 270k km na tinakbo pero ok pa rin ang makina. Toyota known for quality & resale value but more utilitarian ang dating maybe due to popular Hi Ace Commuter variant. Comfort, spaciousness, and now good enough quality, Starex has caught up based on personal experience. Grandia has 3yrs or 100k km warranty but Staria has 5yrs or 200k km warranty! Im considering Staria fpr next purchase.

Wish we could combine those cool features with Staria and Grandia together. ​You cannot sit comfortably at back of Grandia even for 4 average people. It's like they forced it to be a 4-seater but it's really just good for 3. I love your review. Mas lamang ang Grandia especially during the bumpy ride.

I guess hyundai focused more on the tech, rather than the ergonomics. Still I think its cool I mean, when was the last time we had an awd van? I do wish they had more seats (and aircon vents) like the starex urban executive. Lastly, I also wish that the lower variants looked a bit more like the premium+. The exterior of the gls+ doesn't look like it's worth above 2m tbh.

[@maranello5775]

Retail units have airvents for the last row which isn’t found in this test unit

[@SRNoobR]

Funny thing about the entire focusing-on-tech thing is Hyundai Philippines decided to really DOWNGRADE our infotainment systems to be similar to the old Hyundai infotainment systems. It's laggy, it's outdated, and just does not look futuristic. If you check other Hyundai Staria videos outside of the PH, you'll see what I mean. VERY disappointed with the choice to go for the older, more inferior infotainment system alone.

[@JustmePeter12]

I think ung sa engine performance wise engine displacement is super iba kaya what can you say. 2.8 vs 2.2 but you can see na same power output just different torque numbers isn't that impressive for a 2.2 when the 2.8 is almost the same?

[@biboyravos4522]

[@donrobert3581]

Hyundai did a good job with their Staria, a big step away from Starex but the Grandia or Hiace is just something not to be reckon with.

[@angelotan1791]

Not really a fair ride and comfort comparison. The Toyota has meaty and floaty (if you will) 235/60 R17 tires whereas the Hyundai has sporty but bumpy 235/55 R18s. Now as for the untimed performance test and throttle response, both vans have turbodiesel powerplants ergo not only the Hyundai should be regarded to have noticeable Turbo Lag. On the contrary the Toyota's 1GD-FTV has VNT whereas the Hyundai's detuned 2.2 R engine (borrowed from the Santa Fe/Palisade) has VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) which is technically superior on paper and in practice; hence, known to have less turbo lag than the former. You mentioned the Toyota doesn't even have an ECO mode yet there was no remark on how the throttle response was in the Hyundai whilst in Sport Mode. On the value for money front, you gave the nod to the Toyota which broke the 3 Million Peso mark (P3,158,000 if you’re lucky - not including the hefty insurance premium and some ridiculous dealer markups), a top model in 2023 without All Wheel Drive, Paddle Shifters, Automatic Shift-by-wire, Electric Parking Brake with Autohold, Surround View Monitor, Blind-spot View Monitor, Dual Sunroof, Luxury Suede Headliner, Bose Speakers with Surround Sound, 8" Touchscreen Display with Voice Recognition, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (even if its laggy), 10.25” Supervision Digital Cluster, Wireless Charging Pad, Ventilated Nappa Leather Seats that slide sideways for added versatility and a Power Tailgate (controlled remotely via Smart Key with Button Start might I add - same with the Sliding Doors). Hmmm. 🤔

I have ridden on the Fortuner, Hi Ace & Starex. I found that the Starex is the smoothest and most comfortable ride among them. As smooth as sedan. Fortuner and Hi Ace are matadtad. I was surprised when they said Super Grandia is more comfortable.

Mid-variant specs is the best comparo which is more practical than this 2 TOTL and most of us will buy. Do it TGP, and see more views to come. As for the video, it needs pa talaga improvement sa interior ang staria. But for external design, panalo ang hyundai IMO.
