The Hyundai Alcazar, a popular midsize SUV, is set to receive a much-awaited facelift. The updated model is scheduled to be launched in India on September 9, 2024. With a focus on design enhancements and additional features, the facelifted Alcazar aims to maintain its strong position in the segment.
Exterior Updates
Based on spy shots, the facelifted Alcazar is likely to share design elements with the recently updated Hyundai Creta. This could include a revised front fascia with split LED headlights and connected LED DRLs, although Hyundai may differentiate the grille design to distinguish the two models. While the side profile is expected to remain similar, the Alcazar will likely feature redesigned alloy wheels. The rear is expected to stand out with vertically stacked connected LED tail lamps, setting it apart from the Creta.
Interior and Features
The 2024 Alcazar is anticipated to adopt the modern interior design seen in the new Creta, featuring dual integrated screens. This could include a 10.25-inch infotainment system and a digital driver’s display. Other potential features may include a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, and wireless phone charging. The Alcazar will continue to offer both 6-seater and 7-seater configurations.
Safety Features
Safety is a priority for Hyundai, and the facelifted Alcazar is expected to come equipped with a range of features, including six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, and an electronic stability program. Additionally, Hyundai may offer the Alcazar with an advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) suite, similar to the Creta, enhancing its safety capabilities.
Powertrain Options
While specific details about the powertrain are still awaited, it’s likely that the facelifted Alcazar will retain the same engine options as the current model. This means customers can expect to choose from a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine or a 1.5-liter diesel engine. Transmission options may include a 6-speed manual, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT), or 6-speed torque converter automatic (AT).
Price and Rivals
The facelifted Hyundai Alcazar is anticipated to be priced slightly higher than the current model. Estimates suggest a starting price around Rs 17 lakh (ex-showroom). The current Alcazar is priced between Rs 16.77 lakh and Rs 21.28 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The updated model will compete with rivals like the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Safari, and MG Hector Plus.
Conclusion
The Hyundai Alcazar facelift promises to offer a refreshed and enhanced version of this popular midsize SUV. With updates to its design, features, and potentially safety technology, the 2024 Alcazar aims to maintain its position in the competitive Indian market.
