Other than the new powertrain, the Alcazar gets a slightly tweaked grille for the front end. Also, the SUV will now feature increased safety features as standard. The list includes side and curtain airbags, along with a new idle-start-stop system. With six airbags as standard across the range, the Hyundai Alcazar now has a strong safety suite. Currently, the Alcazar is on sale with two engine options - a 1.5L turbocharged diesel engine and a 2.0L NA petrol engine. The transmission options include 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT.


Talking of design, the Alcazar gets a Creta-like front end, since it is the 7-seat version of the Creta. However, the rear end is different in comparison to the Creta. Well, the Alcazar is more spacious than the Creta for obvious reasons. The Alcazar gets two seating options - a 6-seater version with captain chairs in the middle rows and a 7-seater iteration with a bench-type middle row.
