Geely Okavango Elite (2025) vs Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026)

Geely Okavango Elite (2025) vs Hyundai Stargazer 1.5 GLS Premium X IVT (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing power and price, the Geely Okavango Elite edges out the Hyundai Stargazer despite being marginally cheaper at ₱1,368,000 versus ₱1,378,000. The Okavango’s 1.5‑litre turbocharged engine delivers 190 PS and 300 Nm, far surpassing the Stargazer’s naturally aspirated 115 PS and 144 Nm, giving it stronger acceleration and better load‑carrying capability—useful for families or small businesses that need to haul passengers and cargo. Both models share a 5‑door, 7‑seat MPV layout, FWD drivetrain and unibody construction, but the Okavango’s 7‑speed DCT offers a more engaging drive than the Stargazer’s IVT. Warranty coverage is comparable, with Geely offering 5 years/150,000 km and Hyundai 5 years/200,000 km, the latter giving a slightly higher mileage cap. Exterior colour choices are broader on the Stargazer, but this is a minor styling factor. If you prioritize outright performance, a sportier feel and a lower upfront cost, the Geely Okavango Elite is the better pick. If you value a longer warranty mileage limit and a wider palette of paint finishes, and can accept lower power, the Hyundai Stargazer remains a solid, albeit less powerful, alternative.
