The 2015 Hyundai Grand Starex CRDi VGT GLS (10 seater) MT is a powerful and spacious van built for Filipino families who demand both performance and passenger capacity. This body-on-frame workhorse delivers robust diesel torque and a commanding presence on Philippine roads.
Under the hood, a 2,497cc Inline-4 DOHC 16-valve engine with Turbo Intercooler CRDi and VGT technology generates 170 PS at 3,800 rpm and a massive 392 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 2,500 rpm. Mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this Grand Starex offers confident pulling power for fully loaded trips, whether navigating city traffic or long provincial drives.
Key Highlights
10-seater capacity with a 5,125mm length and 3,200mm wheelbase provides generous interior room for large groups or cargo.
MacPherson front suspension and rigid axle with coil springs at the rear deliver a stable ride, even when fully loaded.
16-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 215/70 R16 tires, with disc brakes on all four corners for reliable stopping power.
ABS and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) enhance braking control, while a security alarm and central locking add peace of mind.
Manual air conditioning, power windows, keyless entry, and a CD/DVD/MP3 player with USB and AUX inputs keep the cabin comfortable and entertained.
Fabric seats with a foot parking brake and tilt steering column offer practical, driver-focused ergonomics.
With an unlimited 5-year warranty and a price in the Philippines of ₱1,733,000, this discontinued model remains a compelling choice for large families, shuttle operators, or anyone needing a durable, no-frills diesel van.
