The worldwide market leans heavily towards SUVs where the Hyundai Alcazar continues to flourish. The new Hyundai Alcazar Facelift 2024 found its strategic placement in the SUV market between the successful Creta and upscale Tucson models. A complete facelift enhancement includes redesigns together with advanced technology and enhanced engine capabilities which targets both Indian and US consumers.

The Alcazar provides diesel in addition to gas propulsion options with its top highlight being the 1.5L Turbo Petrol DCT system. This extensive review unveils all aspects of the new Alcazar design features as well as comfort elements and performance capabilities and specifications.

Design and Exterior:

Hyundai answered customer requests along with review assessments which led to designing an Alcazar with intense and cleaner lines. The redesigned front bumper on this model has bold elements which differentiate it from the Creta platform.

Placed between three rows the SUV displays a contemporary design which attracts people who drive in urban spaces and lead families. The combination of brown and black in dual tones creates a luxurious appearance that competes above its class value segment. The company spent time on aerodynamic development which made the SUV perform better in both urban settings and other situations.

Key Exterior Features:

• Aggressive front bumper and lighting
• The rings come in 18-inch alloy form to enhance its sporty appearance.
• Dual-tone color schemes for a premium feel
• Available in both 6-seater and 7-seater configurations

Interior and Comfort:

A visit to Alcazar creates the impression of entering a small luxurious lounge. The Alcazar model comes in two seat capacities as an 6-seater and a 7-seater model and provides premium comfort through its captain seats in the 6-seater layout. The seats include multiple capabilities which give users adjustable thigh support coupled with headrest convenience with optional sun block features for an improved backseat enjoyment.

The back row of this vehicle offers complete spaciousness but Hyundai missed an opportunity to improve extended travel comfort in the limited third-row leg space. The vehicle satisfies all needs for brief journeys. Every passenger traveling in the Alcazar will benefit from its electrically adjustable seats combined with cooled seating and wireless charging capabilities alongside a foldable table complete with a cup holder.

Noteworthy Interior Features:

• This model offers both six seats and captain seats for first-class convenience.
• Wireless phone charger conveniently placed
• Sunblinds and foldable table with cup holder for rear passengers
• Dual-zone climate control and panoramic sunroof

Performance: 1.5L Turbo Petrol DCT

The 1.5L Turbo Petrol powertrain at the Alcazar’s core uses a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system as its main attribute. The Alcazar delivers a stimulating driving experience through its smooth, agile performance which reaches 160PS power output maintaining full comfort levels.

Thanks to its DCT system the Alcazar provides quick responses which lead to simple city driving. The car maintains its low-speed jerky motions yet performs better than other models in its segment regarding this issue. Urban drivers will appreciate how the Alcazar handles lighter than its size because it feels more manageable through town streets.

Performance Highlights:

• 160PS Turbo Petrol engine
• Smooth DCT with paddle shifters
• Agile handling for city traffic
• Quiet and comfortable ride, ideal for long journeys

Technology and Features:

The new Hyundai Alcazar offers an impressive technology package to its users. A few new technological advancements elevate the Alcazar above the Creta while several of its features duplicate ones already present in its predecessor. The ADAS Level 2 system joins the digital key technology as two of the main innovative features available in this model.

Ultrasonic capabilities enable control of seat cooling as well as a power handbrake, panoramic sunroof, and Bose sound system in the advanced package. The vehicle incorporates these functions beyond convenience aspects because they boost driver enjoyment.

Standout Features:

• ADAS Level 2 for semi-autonomous driving
• Instead of physical keys the Alcazar uses digital keys for access
• Bose audio system for premium sound quality
• Voice-enabled panoramic sunroof

Drawbacks:

The Alcazar delivers numerous attractive characteristics yet includes some areas that should be improved upon. The main issue with the Alcazar occurs in the third-row seating since adult passengers find the limited space makes long drives uncomfortable. The 18-inch wheels create a slightly stiff ride experience when driving at low speeds because they should be more forgiving to enhance city driving comfort.

What We Like:

• Refined design and premium look
• Feature-packed with advanced tech
• Smooth, powerful 1.5L Turbo Petrol engine
• The vehicle handles cities with agility and ease

What We Don’t Like:

• Cramped third-row seating
• The vehicle maintains its firm character during slow-speed driving conditions

Price and Conclusion:

The new Hyundai Alcazar delivers remarkable value to customers by pricing from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 21 lakh. The Alcazar delivers premium SUV features normally seen in higher-priced three-row SUVs which enables families to select it as their city and highway driving solution.

The Alcazar with its turbo petrol engine combined with high-tech features alongside its premium design is expected to control a considerable portion of its segment. The Alcazar provides a stylish package which earns it points against other vehicle models in its market niche despite having limited rear-seat functionality.
