Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Testing Starts
A regular entrant on the mid-size SUV sales list each month, in May 2024, the Hyundai Alcazar was at No. 6 on this list with sales in the red. This could be on account of buyers awaiting the new Alcazar facelift, which is currently on test. It will be based on the new Creta, which was launched earlier this year.
New Alcazar will have a different front design, so as to give it a more premium stance. It will get a lot of features. These could include a panoramic sunroof, electrically adjustable driver’s seat, dual zone climate controls and twin horizontally positioned 10.2 inch screens for driver’s instrumentation and infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Safety would be via a 360 degree camera and Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control.
While significant updates will be seen on its exteriors and interiors, the new Hyundai Alcazar will see no change in its engine lineup. It will continue to sport a 1.5 liter turbo petrol GDI unit making 160 hp power and 253 Nm torque and a 1.5 liter turbo diesel engine offering 113 hp power and 250 Nm torque. Expect prices to be slightly increased, due to addition of new features.
