Hyundai have launched the premium yet versatile Alcazar in India at a price starting at Rs 16.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Hyundai Alcazar is a premium SUV meant to bridge the gap in the segment between the Creta and the Tucson. Promising an optimum blend of two worlds – toughness and style – the Alcazar is a premium SUV offered in a 6- or 7-seater layout for those wanting a bigger vehicle than the Creta but not willing to spend substantially more. The Hyundai Alcazar features the longest wheelbase of 2,760 mm in the segment to comfortably fit in 3 rows of passengers in addition to 180 litres of luggage space.
Hyundai’s Alcazar is powered by a 2.0-litre Mpi petrol engine or a 1.5-litre CRDi diesel engine with options of 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions. The specifications of each variant have been given in the table below.

According to Hyundai, the Alcazar has been developed to epitomize premium travel experiences while perfectly emulating Hyundai’s Global Design Identity of ‘Sensuous Sportiness’. It is based on 6 key pillars for the Indian market – bold exterior, captivating interior, comfortable and versatile space, advanced connectivity, athletic performance and reassuring safety.
The Alcazar has been designed and manufactured for customers looking to own a premium vehicle and, hence, a lot of features come as standard. Screaming grandeur are features like the first-in-segment 10.25-inch multi-display digital cluster, 64-colour ambient lighting, a premium sound system and the voice-controlled smart panoramic sunroof that can be easily operated with commands like “I want to see the sky”.
Hyundai Alcazar will be offered in 6 single-colour options – Polar White, Typhoon Silver, Phantom Black, Titan Grey, Starry Night, Taiga Brown and 2 dual-tone colour options – Polar White with Phantom Black and Titan Grey with Phantom Black.
