Hyundai Motor India has officially launched the much-anticipated 2024 Alcazar facelift, a premium 6/7-seater SUV built on the popular Creta platform. The new Alcazar facelift arrives with updated design features, enhanced safety technology, and revised engine options, making it a strong contender in the Indian SUV market. Available in both petrol and diesel variants, the Alcazar offers a luxurious and spacious ride for families and those seeking a blend of power, comfort, and advanced safety features.
Variants and Pricing
The new Hyundai Alcazar facelift is presented in four variants: Executive, Prestige, Platinum, and Signature. At launch, the base price for the petrol variant starts at Rs 14.99 lakh (Ex-showroom) for the Executive 7-seater (Turbo Petrol MT), while the base diesel variant is available from Rs 15.99 lakh. The range-topping Signature 6-seater in both Petrol DCT and Diesel TC versions comes in at Rs 21.55 lakh (Ex-showroom).
With its competitive pricing, the new Alcazar is positioned as a premium offering in the three-row SUV segment, catering to families and long-distance travelers. The facelifted model offers an attractive combination of features, performance, and mileage that will appeal to a wide spectrum of Indian buyers.
Upgraded Dimensions and Exterior Design
In terms of dimensions, the 2024 Hyundai Alcazar facelift has grown in size compared to its predecessor. It now measures 4,560mm in length, 1,800mm in width, and stands at 1,710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,760mm. These updates make the new model 60mm longer, 10mm wider, and 35mm taller than the previous version, providing additional cabin space and a more imposing road presence.
The Alcazar facelift continues to share some exterior design elements with its smaller sibling, the Hyundai Creta. However, it features a more upscale appearance with a dark chrome-finished front grille, revised LED headlamps, and H-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRLs). At the rear, new connected LED lamps, a redesigned tailgate, and a sportier spoiler further enhance the vehicle’s stylish look. Additionally, the SUV now rides on larger 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and boasts prominent rear quarter windows, bridge-type roof rails, and rugged side cladding.
The Alcazar facelift is available in eight vibrant color options, including the striking Robust Emerald Matte, Titan Grey Matte, Starry Night, Ranger Khaki, Fiery Red Monotone, Abyss Black, Atlas White, and a dual-tone Atlas White with a black roof.
Interior and Infotainment Upgrades
The cabin of the Hyundai Alcazar facelift receives significant updates, making it both luxurious and tech-savvy. A redesigned dashboard, similar to the one seen in the Creta, now hosts two large 10.25-inch displays—one for the infotainment system and another for the fully digital instrument cluster. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported, allowing seamless smartphone integration.
Premium upholstery in a dual-tone combination of Noble Brown and Haze Navy enhances the Alcazar's upscale appeal. The front seats are ventilated and offer eight-way power adjustments, while the driver’s seat comes with a two-level memory function. The second-row seats have been designed for easier access to the third row, with folding armrests for added convenience.
Additional interior highlights include a large panoramic sunroof, wing-type headrests, Type C USB ports, auto-dimming rearview mirrors (IRVMs), and Hyundai’s innovative digital key with NFC functionality. The Alcazar also offers a premium listening experience with an 8-speaker Bose sound system and boasts 70+ connected car features with over 270 voice commands, making it one of the most feature-packed SUVs in its segment.
Safety Features: Level 2 ADAS and More
The 2024 Hyundai Alcazar sets new safety standards with its Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The suite includes more than 19 advanced safety features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Six airbags are offered as standard across all variants, ensuring maximum safety for all passengers.
The facelifted Alcazar also comes with additional safety equipment like a 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat mounts, traction control, electronic stability control, and all-around disc brakes, further emphasizing Hyundai’s commitment to passenger safety.
Engine Options and Mileage Figures
Under the hood, the 2024 Hyundai Alcazar offers two engine options. The first is a 1.5L, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine delivering 158 hp and 253 Nm of torque. The diesel variant is powered by a 1.5L, 4-cylinder turbocharged unit producing 114 hp and 250 Nm of torque.
Both engines come paired with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard. However, buyers opting for the petrol version can choose a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), while the diesel variant offers a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
Mileage figures for the petrol variants stand at 17.5 km/l for the 6-speed manual and 18 km/l for the 7-speed DCT. The diesel manual variant offers an impressive 20.4 km/l, while the 6-speed torque converter automatic delivers 18.1 km/l.
