Hyundai Alcazar is offered in six- and seven-seater configurations and is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has today announced the launch of the much-awaited Alcazar in the domestic market and is priced between Rs. 16.30 lakh and Rs. 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Available in Signature, Signature (O), Prestige, Prestige (O), Platinum and Platinum (O) grades spread across 18 trims, the Hyundai Alcazar comes in an expansive range targeting wide range of customers.
The Hyundai Alcazar competes against Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus and it has notable advantages compared to them. With 2,760 mm wheelbase, it has the longest wheelbase in its class while the bootspace capacity is rated at 180 litres when all seats are up and is also the largest in its segment giving the Alcazar better practicality over its rivals.
The Alcazar can be had as either a six- or a seven-seater. The middle row gets the tip and tumble function for the easy ingress and egress of the occupants to the third row. In addition, it also gets a separately mounted cup holder for the middle row occupants in six-seater config with captain seats.
Alongside, the front seatback also features trays that can be used to keep items like tablets and phones on the go. The three-row SUV will be offered in six- and seven-seater configurations and it gets subtle exterior changes compared to the Creta including the redesigned front grille.
The Hyundai Alcazar will be retailed with two engine options: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol and a 1.5-litre U2 four-cylinder diesel engine. The former produces a maximum power output of 159 PS and 192 Nm as in the Elantra while the latter kicks out 115 PS and 250 Nm as in the Creta, which the Alcazar has plenty in common with.
The second-largest carmaker in the country will present the Alcazar in six different paint schemes namely Typhoon Silver, Titan Grey, Taiga Brown, Starry Night, Phantom Black and Polar White. The interior will carry a Cognac Brown shade.
