Level-2 ADAS

The Hyundai Alcazar facelift introduces a key safety upgrade with the addition of ADAS, a feature increasingly in demand. This updated model comes equipped with Level-2 Hyundai SmartSense ADAS, offering a comprehensive suite of safety technologies. Key features include Forward Collision Warning, Front Collision Avoidance Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist, among others.

Competition Check- Its main rivals, the Tata Harrier, Kia Carens, and the XUV 700 come with the ADAS suite making it a new standard in the segment.

Second Row Seat Ventilation

The Hyundai Alcazar impresses with its modern cabin and cutting-edge technology. A standout feature is the inclusion of ventilated seats, which were once reserved for premium models but are now found even in lower-segment vehicles. Taking this feature up a notch, the second-row captain's seats also come equipped with ventilation, enhancing comfort for all passengers. Notably, it remains limited to the 6-seater model with captain seats only.

Competition Check- The only rival that offers second-row ventilation is the Tata Safari.

Panoramic Sunroof

If you're hoping for a sunroof, you'll be pleased to know that the Alcazar comes with a panoramic sunroof as standard across all variants. This is a fantastic feature, especially for those on a budget who still want that premium touch. While the starting price of over Rs 16 lakhs is significant, it's notable that Hyundai offers this feature from the base model up, rather than saving it for higher trims.

Competition Check- In comparison, rivals such as the MG Hector Plus, and XUV700 provide a panoramic sunroof only in their higher trims.

10.25-inch Fully Digital Instrument Cluster

From the Platinum trim upwards, stepping inside the cabin reveals a fully digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster in line wit the updated Hyundai Creta. This modern display features dynamic animations and provides essential driving information, including tire pressure, speed, distance traveled, RPM, and much more.

Competition Check- The Hector Plus, XUV700, and Carens all feature fully digital driver's displays, intensifying the competition in this segment.

Competition Check- No other rivals in this segment currently offer a second-row wireless charging solution, however, its presence in the front row is available with the other rivals.
