The paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2025, co-sponsored by Carro and Kärcher, runs from today until tomorrow at the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC), and among the many brands present here is Hyundai, which is showcasing all three models in its local range.
The Santa Fe is on display in its hybrid form, showcased together with a Thule rooftop tent. As shown, the seven-seater is powered by a 180 PS/265 Nm 1.6 litre turbocharged and direct-injected (T-GDi) Smartstream four-cylinder petrol engine, which is paired with a 65 PS/264 Nm electric motor for a total system output of 235 PS and 367 Nm. Buyers can pick from two variants for the hybrid, in this case the HEV Prime and HEV Prestige.
The SUV is also sold here in a 2.5 T-GDi Calligraphy version, powered by a 281 PS/422 Nm 2.5 litre turbocharged petrol mill. It’s also equipped with an HTRAC all-wheel drive system, which ensures optimum traction on slippery roads and uneven terrain.
The Tucson facelift is also present, and you’ll be able to check out the refreshed SUV, which features a bold and athletic exterior and a totally-revised, cleaner-looking dashboard leading the interior changes. In Malaysia, the Tucson is available in four variants and three powertrain options. Aside from a base 156 PS/192 Nm 2.0 litre MPI, there’s a 180 PS/265 Nm 1.6 litre T-GDi petrol engine (FWD and AWD) and a new 235 PS/367 Nm 1.6 litre T-GDi Hybrid, the latter making up the display units at the show.
Also at the Hyundai booth is the Staria, and the locally-assembled MPV is presented in one of the four new exterior shades for it, namely Stormy Sea. Available with ten or seven seats, the Staria is a spacious and practical MPV that is powered by a 2.2 litre inline-four turbodiesel engine offering 177 PS and 430 Nm of torque.
At ACE 2025, bagging a Staria will get you additional goodies. These include a choice of eight times free service (worth RM4,800) or a cash rebate up to RM6,000, and there’s also an exclusive year-end offer whereby you can enjoy a further RM10,000 off selected variants.
Additionally, My Hyundai Rewards allows you to choose between RM2,000 lifestyle vouchers or a RM1,500 cash bonus, and you’ll also get free accessories with your Staria purchase, and a collaboration with Tokio Marine Insurans (Malaysia) will see Staria buyers getting a free AutoPro Package upgrade.
Also, every confirmed vehicle booking will enter you into a lucky draw to win the grand prize of an all-expenses-paid holiday for two worth RM10,000, and a total of 20 winners will also receive Kärcher products worth over RM30,000. Head on over to ACE 2025 at the SCCC to check out the Hyundai range.
