 The new three-row SUV by Hyundai has been revealed, the ALCAZAR. Based on the same platform as Creta, but has a longer wheelbase, i.e, 2760mm. 

    Hyundai Alcazar (Production-Spec)

KEY POINTS:-

• It will feature a longer wheelbase than Creta.
• Available in both, petrol and diesel variant.
• Has a lengthy list of features.

Exterior Design:-

While the new Alcazar shares its platform with the Creta mid-size SUV, Hyundai has worked on it to give it a longer wheelbase – 2,760mm to be precise (150mm more than the Creta). This has been done in order to open up more room for the second-row passengers as well as to accommodate the extra row of seats. Hyundai has also equipped it with a longer rear overhang to aid the latter.

The exterior features a tweaked grille with a diamond-studded pattern, updated bumper design, rear quarter glass, new alloy wheels and much more. The rear of the SUV features all-new styling as the Alcazar gets new wraparound taillights that extend on the slightly more upright tailgate, faux dual exhaust tips and a faux brushed aluminium skid plate.

Interior:-

The main talking point on the interior is the added row of seats. The Alcazar will be available with both a 6- seat (with captain’s seats in the second row) and 7-seat (with bench seating in the second row) configurations. In both configurations, the second-row seats feature a one-touch tumble mechanism to give access to the rear seats as well as a sliding function to either free up more space for the second or third-row passengers. Speaking of the third row, the seats get a reclining function and they also fold down completely flat to provide better boot space.

Engine Specs:-

Available in both petrol and diesel options. The petrol variant gets an updated 2.0-litre, four-cylinder same as Elantra and Tucson, which produces 159bhp and 192Nm of torque, 7hp more than that of Elantra and Tucson. The diesel variant has the same 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is enough to produce 115hp and 250Nm of torque.

Rivals:-

• Tata Safari
• Mahinda XUV 500
• MG Hector Plus
