The Hyundai Grand Starex TCI GL MT (2016) is a robust, no-nonsense people mover built to handle the toughest Philippine roads and the largest families. This 10-seater van offers genuine body-on-frame durability without the premium price tag of a luxury SUV.

Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this car provides ample low-end grunt for fully loaded trips, whether you’re climbing mountain roads or cruising the expressway.
