Hyundai Alcazar Spotted Undisguised Prior To June 18 Launch

• Alcazar bookings open for Rs 25,000.
• Available in eight variants and two seating configurations.
• Notable features include digital driver’s display, 64-colour ambient lighting, and Bose sound system.
• Will be provided with 159PS 2.0-litre petrol and 115PS 1.5-litre diesel engines.
• Likely to be priced from Rs 13 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Hyundai Alcazar has been spotted undisguised ahead of its launch on June 18. Official bookings are underway on the carmaker’s website and at your nearest dealership for a token of Rs 25,000. The upcoming SUV will be available in eight variants, including two dual-tone colour options of the top-spec Signature and Signature (O).

The Alcazar will come either as a 6-seater (with captain seats) or a 7-seater (with bench seats for middle-row occupants). The SUV is essentially an extended Creta, with a 150mm longer wheelbase. In fact, its 2,670mm wheelbase is longer than the Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus. This should result in a spacious second row, which gets amenities like seat-back trays, sunshades, and a wireless phone charger (in the 6-seater). 

Other features include a first-in-segment 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car tech, a panoramic sunroof, 64-colour ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, Bose sound system, cruise control, and drive and traction modes. 

Passenger safety will be secured by multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, parking sensors with a camera, electronic stability control, and tyre pressure monitoring. 

The Alcazar will come with two engine options: a 159PS 2-litre petrol and a 115PS 1.5-litre diesel. Both units drive the front wheels via a 6-speed manual and an optional 6-speed torque converter automatic.
