It can be reserved through the brand’s Click to Buy online car buying platform or authorised dealerships across the country for an initial token of Rs. 25,000. The Alcazar will be offered in six- and seven-seater configurations.
The Alcazar is one of the highly anticipated launches this year and it will help in Hyundai expanding its SUV portfolio. It will be positioned above the Creta, which it is based on, and will be retailed in two engine options: a 2.0-litre MPi four-cylinder petrol and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder U2 CRDi diesel engine.
The former is good enough to produce a maximum power output of 159 PS and 191 Nm of peak torque while the latter generates 115 PS and 250 Nm, and is the same unit found under the bonnet of the best-selling Creta mid-size SUV. A six-speed manual transmission will be available as standard while a six-speed torque converter automatic unit will be an option.
The three-row SUV will be sold with a host of premium features including a 10.25-inch full-coloured digital cluster, Bose audio with eight speakers, air purifier with AQI display, side steps, rear window sunshade, front row seatback table with retractable cup holder and IT device holder, 64-colour ambient lighting, eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, etc.
