Hyundai Alcazar facelift: what’s new?
The latest spy shots show that the Alcazar facelift gets a redesigned front-end, similar to Creta's. The grille’s larger, with a slightly different pattern than its five-seat sibling. The split LED headlamps sport a new look. The updated SUV also has a front radar, which confirms the inclusion of ADAS safety features on the new Alcazar. While the rest of the body was camouflaged, the new alloy wheels were clearly visible.
Hyundai Alcazar facelift: features, powertrains
On the inside, expect the new dashboard from the Creta facelift to be carried over to the refreshed Alcazar. This includes the conjoined 10.25-inch infotainment screen and the similarly sized digital instrument cluster. Like earlier, Alcazar will be available in six- and seven-seat configurations.

The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options are likely to stay. While the petrol powertrain churns out 160hp and 253Nm of torque and can be had with either a 6-speed MT or an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the diesel motor’s output is 116hp and 250Nm, and it is available with 6MT and 6AT gearbox options.
