Hyundai Alcazar is the most awaited 7-seater SUV which is expected to launch in May this year and the bookings for the same has already started. Dealers across the country have started to accept the unofficial bookings for the Alcazar that rivals the Mahindra XUV500, Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus.
Hyundai Alcazar shares the same platform as the Creta, however, the company claims it is much different from the 5-seater SUV. At first, the longer wheelbase of 2760 mm and the 180 litres of booth space. Both are highest in the segment thus giving an edge to the Alcazar.
At the front, it carries a fresh new grille design which alters itself from the Creta and the side profile gets a new alloy wheels design. Similarly, the wraparound taillights offer a better look along with faux skid plates at the front and rear.
