Verdict
The RM13,000 step from the RM196,888 Prime to the RM209,888 Prestige does not buy extra diesel performance: both use a 175 hp, 431 Nm 2.2-litre diesel with an eight-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. It buys a proper safety and convenience upgrade instead, adding autonomous braking, blind-spot information, steering correction lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. For a Malaysian buyer regularly carrying up to 10 people, the Prestige is the better-equipped choice; the Prime makes sense if those assists are not a priority.
Pick the Hyundai Staria 2.2D Prime 10-Seater if you want the same 175 hp, 431 Nm diesel drivetrain and 10-seat layout while saving RM13,000.
Pick the Hyundai Staria 2.2D Prestige 10-Seater if you want autonomous braking, blind-spot information, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera.
