Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 GSR CVT (2015) vs Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026)

Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 GSR CVT (2015) vs Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, performance and practicality, the Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 GSR CVT (2015) and the Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026) present distinct trade‑offs. The ASX is cheaper by about ₱115,000, but it is an older, non‑available model with a 3‑year/100,000 km warranty, whereas the Stargazer is brand‑new, currently on sale and backed by a longer 5‑year/200,000 km warranty. Powerwise the ASX’s 2.0‑litre engine delivers 150 PS and 197 Nm, noticeably higher than the Stargazer’s 115 PS and 144 Nm, giving the ASX a clear edge for spirited driving or load‑carrying on hilly roads. However, the Stargazer’s smaller 1.5‑litre engine may offer better fuel economy for city commuting, and its MPV AUV body with a 2+3+2 seating layout provides more flexible passenger space than the five‑door SUV ASX. Both are front‑wheel‑drive with unibody construction, but the Stargazer adds a modern IVT transmission versus the ASX’s older CVT. If you prioritize budget, higher power and can accept an older, out‑of‑stock vehicle with a shorter warranty, the ASX suits you. If you need a brand‑new, warranty‑rich, family‑oriented MPV with better fuel efficiency and contemporary styling, the Stargazer is the better choice.
