2021 Hyundai Alcazar: Take A Look RIGHT HERE Before Its Global Debut

• Hyundai Alcazar is a longer Creta with three rows of seating.
• It boasts a different grille, larger alloy wheels and a restyled rear-end.
• Interior is similar to the Creta, except for the black-brown colour scheme.
• Likely to be offered with 1.5-litre diesel and 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engines.
• It could be priced a lakh over the Creta.

The Creta-based Alcazar 7-seater SUV will be the next big launch from Hyundai. The Korean carmaker recently gave us a sneak peek of the upcoming SUV via a few design sketches. Now, 3D images of the Alcazar have been leaked, giving us a good look at the upcoming bigger Creta with an extra third-row of seats. Here’s what the leaked 3D model images suggest and what all is expected from the Hyundai Alcazar: 

• When viewed head-on, the basic design is similar to the Creta, albeit with minor differences like the chrome studded grille. 

• The shiny stuff from the grille extends to the DRLs and headlamps.

• The bumper also features redesigned fog lamps and a silver skid plates for distinction.

• The extended length and the longer rear overhang is quite apparent. 

• What’s also new is the rear quarter glass for last row occupants.

• As per the image, side steps have been provided for easier ingress and egress

• It also seems to sit on larger 18-inch wheels for a better stance. 

• Like the Creta, a sharp character line flows from the headlamp to the tail lamps.

• The Alcazar’s boasts an upright rear-end to make room for third row occupants, similar to what Tata did with the Harrier-based Safari.

• It features conventional looking split-LED tail lamps that are connected by a thick chrome strip with ‘Alcazar’ written on it. 

• The rear bumper features twin exhaust pipes that are similar to the Creta’s Turbo variants. But a closer look reveals rear fog lamps in place of the reverse lamps found in the Creta. 

• The Alcazar’s dashboard layout is identical to the Creta, albeit in a black-brown colour scheme as per the sketches. 

• Seen in the image above is the six-seater variant with captain seats and an unique floor mounted central console for middle row occupants. 

• A 7-seater variant with bench seats will also be on offer.  

• The Alcazar should retain most of the features from the Creta such as a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and ventilated seats.
• It could also pack additional features like a powered tailgate, and a 360-degree camera.

• Since it’s based on the Creta, it should come with the 115PS 1.5-litre diesel and 140PS 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engines. 

• The diesel engine will be offered with a 6-speed torque converter while the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol will be provided with the 7-speed DCT. 

• Like the Creta, only the diesel engine should be provided with a 6-speed manual transmission. 

• Considering its premium positioning, the 115PS 1.5-litre petrol engine could be given a miss.  

The Hyundai Alcazar, which could command a lakh premium over the Creta, is likely to go on sale by the end of April. It could be one of the most affordable three-row SUVs in the sub Rs 20 lakh bracket, which consists of the MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari, and the Mahindra XUV500 and Scorpio.
