Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Vs Hyundai Creta: Verdict

The attributes of the Hyundai Alcazar facelift and Hyundai Creta are mostly similar. Simply said, the two siblings differ mainly in terms of size. Creta is a 5-seater compact SUV, while Alcazar facelift has both a 6- and a 7-seater option, with the former including captain seats for more comfort. While Alcazar gets the same engine as the Creta, it does miss out on the NA petrol option.

All of this culminates in the Creta being a viable option for families of five, but there's a catch: the Alcazar, a more roomy vehicle, is available for just Rs 1.25 lakh extra. If you want to be driven around and spend most of your time in the back seat or if you occasionally want to ferry around two extra passengers the Alcazar is the car for you. But, that’s only if you can stretch your budget. If you can’t, and don’t need the extra row of seats,  you won’t go wrong with the Creta either; because it definitely is a great package for the price it's offered.
