Hyundai is gearing up to launch the facelifted version of its popular SUV, the Alcazar. Fresh spy shots have given us a glimpse of the updated front design and hinted at several new features. Here’s what we know so far:
The recent spy shots reveal several new styling elements for the Hyundai Alcazar facelift:
LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs): The DRLs now feature a new 'H' element, distinguishing them from those on the Creta. It remains to be seen if a connecting light bar will link the two DRLs in the middle.
Grille Design: The grille has been slightly enlarged compared to the Creta and now sports horizontal slats.
Headlamp Unit: The vertically stacked main headlamp unit appears similar to the current design.
Alloy Wheels: A new alloy wheel design adds to the refreshed look of the SUV.
Inside, the Alcazar facelift is expected to share the same dashboard layout as the Creta facelift:
Infotainment and Instrument Cluster: Dual 10.25-inch infotainment screens and a similarly sized digital instrument cluster.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): A significant addition to enhance safety.
Seating Configurations: The Alcazar will continue to offer 6- and 7-seater configurations.
The powertrain options are likely to remain unchanged:
1.5-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine: Producing 160hp and 253Nm of torque, available with either a 6-speed manual transmission (MT) or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
1.5-Litre Diesel Engine: Delivering 116hp and 250Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT).
The Hyundai Alcazar facelift is expected to hit the Indian market by October 2024. With the updates and new features, a slight increase in price is anticipated. Currently, the Alcazar is priced between Rs 16.78 lakh and Rs 21.28 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon launch, it will continue to rival the likes of the Mahindra XUV700, Scorpio N, Tata Safari, and MG Hector Plus.
