The Hyundai Alcazar is based on the same platform as the Creta and like its predecessor does carry a lot of similarities. Having said that, for the 2024 edition, Hyundai India has put in the effort to give the Alcazar a calling of its own as it moves further away from what the Creta is and shapes a new segment for itself. The difference begins with the design.
While the side panels and doors are reminiscent of the Creta, it is the imposing front look that makes the Alcazar stand apart. Now featuring Hyundai’s SUV family design language, the Alcazar runs ‘H’ shaped LED DRLS, a neat light bar and gets squared-off projector headlights. The revised front grille finished in dark chrome looks premium and upmarket and you also get a redesigned hood and a rugged front bumper.
When viewed from the side, the Alcazar’s 18 inch diamond cut alloys take centrestage as they add to the vehicle’s dynamic profile. Another highlight is the bridge type roof rail that adds to the SUV’s bold stance. The rear brings the entire package together with a more squared-off look that has the ‘H’ motif in the lights once again.
There is a neat LED lightbar across the back as well and the vehicle also benefits from an updated bumper and skidplate that gives it a wider stance. One feature that stands out is the sequential function of the LED turn signals, which enhances the premium feel of the Alcazar and adds to its modern appeal. The vehicle we had on test was the top-end Signature edition .
