Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Launched In India At ₹14.99 Lakh

Hyundai Motor India has launched the Alcazar facelift in India at ₹14.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The Alcazar facelift gets a heavily refreshed design, a new interior, and multiple new features including ADAS but the same powertrain options as before. The diesel version of the 2024 Alcazar starts at ₹15.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

The Alcazar facelift borrows a lot of its design from the Creta facelift that was launched earlier this year. Up front, it gets H-pattern LED DRLs (as seen on the Exter and other Hyundai SUVs in the global portfolio) connected by a light bar, a wide grille, a refreshed bumper design and a new split headlamp. The Alcazar facelift also gets a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels, new chunkier roof rails as well as side skirts. At the back, it gets vertical LED taillamps with an LED light bar as well as a redesigned bumper.

The dashboard design of the Alcazar is a direct lift from the Creta facelift but the Alcazar has a different colour combination. The three-row SUV gets a Brown and Blue theme instead of the two-tone Grey combination. The Alcazar also gets the same 10.25-inch dual-screen layout where one is the infotainment touchscreen and the other is a virtual instrument cluster.

The Alcazar facelift also gets dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable front seats with memory function and the first and second-row seats getting ventilation function as well as a wireless charger. Other features include a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, a retractable table for the second row, auto wipers and more.

Safety features on the three-row Hyundai SUV include six airbags, hill descent control, hill start assist, three traction modes (snow, mud and sand), electronic stability control, vehicle stability management, and all four disc brakes. The Alcazar facelift also comes with Level 2 ADAS which includes features like a blind spot view monitor, a 360-degree camera, forward collision warning and avoidance, lane keep assist, driver attention warning and more.

It gets the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options. The former produces 158 bhp and 253 Nm and comes paired with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The diesel engine churns out 114 bhp and 250 Nm and is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Along with the three traction modes, the Alcazar facelift also gets three driving modes (Normal, Eco and Sport).

The Alcazar facelift rivals the MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV700. In comparison, the MG Hector Plus is priced at ₹17.30 – 22.93 lakh*, the Safari is priced between ₹15.49 – 25.29 lakh* and the XUV700 is priced at ₹13.99 – 25.14 lakh*. *All prices ex-showroom, India).
