The upcoming Hyundai Alcazar facelift is set to debut with a refreshed front fascia that includes newly designed LED daytime running lights sporting a distinctive signature. It features vertically stacked elements connected by an extending light bar, complemented by rectangular split LED headlamps, a redesigned front bumper, and a grille adorned with horizontal slats. Noteworthy updates also include refreshed alloy wheels, observed on the test vehicle featuring dual-tone 8-spoke rims with an intricate curling pattern.
The Hyundai Alcazar facelift is poised to distinguish itself from the Hyundai Creta with a unique array of styling elements, ensuring it stands apart rather than being a mere copy-paste sibling. While the side profile will retain its familiar silhouette of the Alcazar without significant changes, the SUV's rear is expected to adopt LED tail lamps connected by a light bar, aligning with the design update introduced on the Creta facelift.
Interior And Features
The upcoming facelift for the Alcazar SUV aims to build upon its already comprehensive feature set with several enhancements. Anticipate new additions such as dual-zone climate control, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a similarly sized digital instrument cluster. Other upgrades include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and an electrically adjustable driver's seat for enhanced comfort. On the safety front, the Alcazar facelift is expected to introduce Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), a 360-degree camera, all-wheel disc brakes, six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), hill-hold assist, and an electric parking brake with auto hold, among other advanced safety features.
