Dongfeng Nammi EV (2024) vs Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026)

Dongfeng Nammi EV (2024) vs Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer focused on low running costs and city-friendly size, the 2024 Dongfeng Nammi EV is the better pick. It costs ₱1,238,000, about ₱140,000 less than the 2026 Hyundai Stargazer, and being fully electric it eliminates fuel expenses and offers a simple single‑speed drivetrain. Its compact dimensions (4.03 m long, 1.81 m wide, 1.57 m high) make it easier to park in tight Manila streets, and the five‑seat small crossover SUV layout suits small families or ride‑sharing. The Nammi delivers 95 PS and 160 Nm, enough for urban driving, while the Stargazer provides more power at 115 PS but only 144 Nm, and runs on gasoline, meaning higher fuel and maintenance costs. The Stargazer’s MPV AUV body gives a 2+3+2 seating arrangement, offering more flexible passenger capacity for larger groups, but it is larger and pricier at ₱1,378,000. Both carry a 5‑year warranty, though the Nammi’s mileage cap is 150,000 km versus 200,000 km for the Stargazer. Choose the Nammi if you prioritize affordability, electric efficiency, and compact practicality; opt for the Stargazer if you need higher power, greater seating flexibility, and are comfortable with gasoline operation despite the higher price.
