It comes with an upper black grille with a unique design along with a lower grille that contains diamond-like patterns. It also comes available with LED headlights arranged in a similar way to its competitor the Mitsubishi Xpander. Aside from this the vehicle also rides on a set of 16-inch alloy wheels.

At the back, the Stargazer comes with an H-like rear. It has angular taillights that are connected by a horizontal light at stretches across the tailgate of the vehicle. Black accents can be found under and around the taillights to give the MPV a more unique and modern look.
