Hyundai Alcazar Top Highlights
Dark Chrome Radiator Grille
The first thing one notices in a vehicle is its face, and the Alcazar facelift introduces a new design that leaves less space for things to go inside, unlike the Creta. The grille is covered with a hexagon pattern design, giving it a distinctive look, all finished in chrome and other premium materials.
The same hexagon pattern is carried over to the bumper area, where it is protected by silver skid plates. Apart from that, the grille extends to the quad-beam LED headlamps, where the dark chrome radiates a shine and looks beautiful.
Horizon LED positioning lamp & H shaped DRLs
The biggest way to distinguish the Alcazar from the Creta is through its H-shaped LED DRLs, which add significant weight to the front end of this large vehicle. Additionally, the connecting lights feel like the cherry on top. The H-shape is notably larger than that of the Creta's lights and also looks elegant.
R18 Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels
A new diamond-cut design has been introduced for the Alcazar facelift, which looks fantastic and ahead of its time. There are a total of seven spokes, finished in a diamond-cut setting, and Hyundai claims they are 18 inches in size. Additionally, the silver skid plate adds a touch of premium quality. All these style elements enhance the grace of this large vehicle and will attract people seeking a luxurious vehicle, rather than just a simple 7-seater.
Rear Tail Lights
The connecting LED lights continue at the rear, and just like the front, the rear end also feels heavy with chunky horizontal LED tail lamps and LED DRLs. Additionally, there is another strip of chrome above them. Down below, youll notice a silver skid plate, which adds another touch of sophistication and serves as a reminder that this is not your regular SUV.
Dual Tone Noble Brown and Haze Navy Interiors
This facelift as expected brought all the interior styling of Creta, but with noble brown and haze navy interiors unlike a black and white approach in its counterpart. So, all the features you expect are there, dual 10.25 inch screen, new sterring wheel, dual zone climate control, wireless charging pad, Anroid Auto and Apple CarPlay, 360 - parking camera, panaromic sunroof and so on.
ADAS Level 2
This expensive SUV does feature Level 2 ADAS with 19 features. In addition, there are 40 standard and over 70 total safety features, including a Surround View Monitor, 6 airbags, rain-sensing wipers, Hill Descent Control, all four disc brakes, and much more. However, drivers should not rely solely on this technology, as Indian roads are unpredictable and anything can happen at any moment.
Seat Mounted Armrest & Thigh Cushion Extension
Available only with the 6-seater option, where captain seats are installed, these seats are perfect for people who occasionally drive and bring their driver along. To get the maximum enjoyment out of the Alcazar, the captain seats are essential, as they come with their own armrests and manually adjustable thigh cushion extensions.
Additionally, both seats have ventilation options, and the front co-passenger seat can be adjusted forward with the touch of a button located on the side of the seats. This feature is designed solely for the comfort of the rear passenger on the left side, to expand the legroom.
Powered Driver and Co-Driver Seat
A lot of automakers offer powered driver seats, but co-passenger seat controls are usually manual. However, this is not the case with the Alcazar facelift. This car also allows the driver to memorize seat positions, which is very useful, as people often dislike it when someone else drives their car and changes the entire setting. Additionally, the new Alcazar features two wireless charging pads, a magnetic pad, an IT device holder, and a retractable cup holder, among other amenities.
