Q. What is the kerb weight and how is the perfomance?

The Hyundai Alcazar comes equipped with two powertrains: 159PS/191Nm 2.0-litre petrol and 115PS/250Nm 1.5-litre diesel units. The 2.0-litre petrol raises eyebrows, considering Hyundai had a potent 1.4-litre turbo ready. This naturally aspirated engine is just the right companion for a chill drive. Power delivery is smooth and relaxed, best suited for laidback cruises and calm city commutes rather than attacking gaps in traffic. As for the diesel, if your driving style entails a calm climb to 80-100kmph and a steady right foot, you’d have no issues with the fact that this engine makes ‘just’ 115PS and 250Nm. Hyundai has also played around with the gear ratios to suit the additional 80kg that the Alcazar lugs. Keeping this motor spinning over 1500rpm lets you tap into all of the torque. This means in-city driving is a breeze, but overtaking on the highway takes some planning. On inclines, especially with a full load, you’d end up being in a gear lower to ensure you have adequate torque to overtake. Moreover, the brand has not suggested the exact kerb weight of Alcazar.
