Exterior

Hyundai Alcazar

The Hyundai Alcazar is based on the brand’s current design language ‘Sensuous Sportiness’. The Alcazar looks very similar to the Hyundai Creta from the front, however, minor cosmetic changes have been done in order to give the 7-seater its uniqueness. The main headlamp unit has been tweaked a little bit. Also, the front grille although follows the same hexagonal design, however, now blends with the headlamp unit. The bumpers have also been changed in order to give it the premium look. Along with the bumpers, the fog design setup has also been tweaked and they complement the overall look of the car.

The car sits on 18-inch wheels. Interestingly, the alloy wheels that were showcased on the Creta’s ix25 concept have been given to the Alcazar. Also, the 7-seater will get a chrome side stepper that will further enhance the premium appeal that Hyundai has kept with the Alcazar. The 7-seater will also come with the best-in-segment wheelbase at 2760mm.

Interior

The Hyundai Alcazar will come with 6-seater and 7-seater configurations. Hyundai has also given a lot of focus to the interior feel of the cabin. Many elements will come together in order to improve the experience of the cabin. The underbody of the 7-seater has been designed to absorb and disperse the impact from the road. Also, the engine room, B-pillar & D-pillar are based on a Ring structural design, that will improve handling & stability, ultimately providing a smooth ride quality. The front strut features a hydraulic rebound stopper that will allow for a better rebound control, again providing a plush ride.

Along with this, other tweaks have been done in order to control NVH levels inside the cabin. The driveshaft has been fine-tuned to provide damping that will ensure controlled acceleration noise. A segment-first centre console armrest for the 2nd-row has also been provided in the cabin. Also, sliding seats have been provided, allowing the passengers to adjust legroom according to their convenience. The seats have also been designed to provide superior thigh and lateral support.
