Soon enough Hyundai will mark its entry into the 7-seater SUV category with the Alcazar and now new reports suggest that it could use a more powerful 2.0L petrol engine. This same unit is seen on its flagship SUV, Tucson.

The recent reports suggest that the Alcazar could be using a similar 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol motor which generates 150 PS with 192 Nm of peak torque. This engine will be mated to a 6-speed manual along with an optional 6-speed torque converter gearbox at the launch.

Earlier it was being said that the Alcazar would be getting the 1.5L NA under the hood but considering its size, these rumours are not put at rest. It will continue with the 1.5L four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine but it is to be seen if the power figures remain identical or not.
For those seeking performance, Hyundai will also bring a 1.4L turbcoharged petrol which generates 140 PS with 242 Nm of peak torque. It is to be seen if this engine will be paired to a 6-speed manual as an option or continue to be offered in a 7-speed DCT unit.
Once launched, Hyundai Alcazar will be offered in both 6 and 7 seat configurations and will rival the Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV500 and MG Hector Plus. This SUV is based on the Creta only but will now be increased in dimensions.

As of now there is no news on the launch date or the pricing but we belive that it will be set at a premium of Rs 1.5 lakh from the Creta. It will host top of the line features like connected car tech, air purifier, ventilated seats, powered front seats, wireless charger and among others.
