Design: Bold, Rugged, and Distinct
The Alcazar’s exterior is a testament to Hyundai’s design philosophy of Sensuous Sportiness. Its muscular and aerodynamic profile enhances both aesthetics and functionality. The new H-shaped LED DRLs, quad-beam LED headlamps, and the redesigned dark chrome front grille create a bold front fascia. The rugged front bumper and new hood design add to its assertiveness.
At the rear, the Alcazar has undergone significant updates, including a new spoiler with an integrated stop lamp, a redesigned bumper and skid plate, and connected LED taillamps that contribute to the vehicle’s futuristic appeal. LED turn signals with a sequential function further enhance its dynamic visual impact.
Adding to its sporty appearance, the SUV comes with R18 diamond-cut alloy wheels paired with black painted cladding, a bridge-type roof rail, and a modern, taller rear design that gives the Alcazar an imposing stance on the road.
Exterior Dimensions:
- Length x Width x Height: 4560 X 1800 X 1710 mm (with roof rails)
- Wheelbase: 2760 mm
Premium Interior: Comfort Meets Modern Design
Step inside the Alcazar, and you’re greeted by a luxurious cabin wrapped in dual-tone noble brown and haze navy colors. The interiors offer a sophisticated, home-like atmosphere, while the design layout prioritizes spaciousness and comfort.
The 6-seater variant is fitted with ventilated captain seats in the second row, which come with enhanced cushioning and folding armrests to allow easy access to the third row. The 7-seater variant features a seat tumble mechanism that simplifies ingress and egress to the third row.
Comfort goes beyond seating, with features like the thigh cushion extension, ventilated seats for both the 1st and 2nd rows, a power walk-in device, and wing-type headrests. The 8-way power driver and passenger seats with memory function ensure that you’ll always find the perfect driving position. These amenities, combined with a plush cabin experience, turn every drive into a memorable journey.
The Alcazar also excels in practical, everyday usability with features such as rain-sensing wipers, a Bose premium sound system, voice-enabled panoramic sunroof, wireless charging for the 1st and 2nd rows, and a magnetic pad for added convenience.
Tech: Loaded with Innovation
The Alcazar shines with its suite of progressive technology that enhances both convenience and connectivity. Hyundai introduces the Digital Key with NFC for the first time in this vehicle, allowing users to unlock, start, and drive the car using a smartphone or smartwatch. The Digital Key can be shared with up to three different users or seven devices, making it incredibly convenient for families and friends.
For entertainment, the Alcazar features a 26.03 cm (10.25″) HD infotainment system alongside a 26.03 cm digital cluster. An in-built music streaming application, JioSaavn (with a one-year subscription) elevates the audio experience, while in-built navigation with multi-language support ensures a seamless driving experience.
The SUV also integrates Bluelink connected car features, offering 70+ connected features through smartphone and smartwatch compatibility. With over 270 embedded VR commands (including 135 Hindi commands), the Alcazar ensures that controlling the vehicle’s functions is easy and intuitive. For added relaxation, drivers can indulge in 10 ambient sounds of nature, such as Lively Forest or A Summer Night’s Rest, making long drives more serene.
Performance: Balanced Between Fun and Practicality
For an SUV that seats up to seven, performance is critical. Hyundai has introduced two engine options that cater to different needs. The 1.5L Turbo GDi Petrol engine churns out an impressive 160 PS of power and 253 Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT for those who prefer automatic transmissions. The turbocharged petrol engine feels lively, especially in Sport mode, where it delivers brisk acceleration and responsive gear changes. This engine provides an ARAI-rated efficiency of 17.5 km/l with the manual transmission and 18.0 km/l with the automatic DCT option.
If you’re looking for something more economical, the 1.5L U2 CRDi Diesel engine might be your go-to. It produces 116 PS and 250 Nm of torque, with an ARAI-rated efficiency of 20.4 km/l, making it one of the more fuel-efficient choices in its segment. The diesel variant comes with both manual and automatic transmission options, giving drivers flexibility depending on their driving habits.
Both engines come equipped with drive modes (Normal, Eco, Sport) and traction modes (Snow, Mud, Sand) to help you adapt to varying road conditions. Whether you’re navigating muddy trails or speeding along the highway, the new Alcazar offers a solid, composed drive.
Safety: Top of Its Class
In an era where safety is increasingly becoming a differentiator, Hyundai’s SmartSense™ ADAS suite ensures that the new Alcazar is well-equipped to protect its occupants. This Level 2 ADAS system includes high-tech features like Smart Cruise Control, Blind Spot View Monitor, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Keeping Assist.
Hyundai’s engineers have also prioritized structural integrity. The Alcazar’s frame features Advanced High Strength Steel and hot stamping for better crash durability, along with six airbags, Hill-Start Assist Control, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System as standard across all variants.
This model doesn’t just stop at basic safety. It also includes features like Hill Descent Control, all-round disc brakes, Electro Chromic rear-view mirror and rain-sensing wipers to enhance both safety and convenience. It’s clear that Hyundai has gone all-in to ensure that the Alcazar offers a comprehensive safety net for every journey.
