Compromises have been made to accommodate the 3rd row & boot3rd row access is too difficult in the captain seat variant3rd row seat is best suited to kids only.

It’s a powerful motor with 158 BHP on tap, so we wish it went higher for driving pleasureDiesel’s 114 BHP & 250 Nm – although adequate – are the lowest in the segmentA few misses (no sunroof and spare wheel in the diesel, wireless Android Auto & Apple Carplay, illuminated window buttons etc.)Read Team-BHP’s detailed Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Review.
