Here are some interesting findings from the carmaker about its three-row SUV

Hyundai launched the Alcazar 6/7-seater SUV in India on June 18, 2021, at prices ranging from Rs 16.30 lakh to Rs 20.14 lakh (ex-showroom), and it got off to a good start with waiting periods of up to two months and over 4,000 pre-launch bookings. Now that it’s been a month since launch, how is the three-row SUV faring in the country? Let's find out.

Bookings

Well, the Alcazar SUV has garnered over 11,000 bookings within a span of a month! One-third of these bookings are for the top-spec Signature variant that is sold in both petrol and diesel guises at prices starting from Rs 18.70 lakh (ex-showroom).

Powertrain Preference

Interestingly, there’s been a higher demand for the diesel variant that has contributed to 63 percent of the total bookings. The diesel option is a 115PS/250Nm 1.5-litre engine, whereas the petrol offering is a 159PS/191Nm 2.0-litre unit. Both motors can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or an automatic gearbox. It also gets three drive modes (Eco, City, Sport) and three traction modes (Snow, Sand, Mud) in its arsenal.

The Hyundai Alcazar has sold over 5,600 units so far, which is a decent conversion rate when taking into account the 11,000 bookings received in the same period.

The SUV is sold in three broad trims: Prestige, Platinum, and Signature. It is equipped with features, such as two 10.25-inch screens for the touchscreen infotainment system and digital driver’s display, a voice-operated panoramic sunroof, BlueLink connected car tech, a Bose sound system, a 360-degree camera, and 64-colour ambient lighting. Passenger safety is covered by six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and hill start assist.

These figures clearly show a great momentum for the Hyundai Alcazar and now would be a good time to commit to the SUV if you want to get on the hype train. It rivals other three-row SUVs such as the Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus.
