• Hyundai Alcazar mid-spec Platinum (O) 7-seater launched at Rs 19.63 lakh.
• Priced Rs 15,000 lesser than Platinum (O) 6-seater.

We were the first to report about the possible launch of a 7-seater option in the Alcazar’s mid-spec Platinum (O) trim. Now, this has become reality in the diesel variant that is priced at Rs 19.63 lakh, Rs 15,000 less than the six-seater Platinum (O). The petrol variant doesn’t get the 7-seater option Platinum (O) yet.

This is the second 7-seater option to be offered with the Alcazar's diesel automatic variants. Also, the Platinum (O) diesel automatic variant is the only one that offers flexibility between 6- and 7-seater options. Here’s a quick look at the variant-wise prices and seating layouts of the Alcazar:

Now to the features. Even though the Platinum (O) is not the top-spec trim, it comes with plenty of niceties including a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 10.25-inch infotainment system with connected car technology, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, powered driver’s seat, 64-colour ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, and a Bose sound system. 

Safety is taken care of by six airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera with blindspot monitor, and electronic stability control. 

The Alcazar Platinum (O) can only be had with the 6-speed automatic transmission in both the 159PS 2-litre petrol and 115PS 1.5-litre diesel engine options. 

With the introduction of the new 7-seater option, the Alcazar Platinum (O) now offers more flexible options for buyers. It rivals the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus, and Mahindra XUV700 in the Indian market.
