New 2021 Hyundai Alcazar
Hyundai has recently revealed its new Alcazar, a seven-seater SUV with a focus on ride comfort. The company has based this new car on the Creta model which it is now like a bigger sibling too. However, it does have some changes other than the seating arrangement that set it apart. Let’s take a closer look at them.
The 2021 Hyundai Alcazar is a bigger Creta.
The fact that Hyundai based the Alcazar on the Creta platform is very obvious with the doors, good and fenders having been carried over. What sets it apart is the length and wheelbase that increases for the extra seats. But Hyundai also gave the grille a new pattern so the exterior of the Alcazar isn’t an exact carbon copy.
It’s the interior that get’s the biggest change, which is no surprise with the addition of extra seats. Buyers can choose between a six or seven-seater configuration. These ventilated seats can slide and have plenty of compartments for storage. Hyundai also boasts about the cabin space the Alcazar has.
Additional features include a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control and wireless mobile charging. There are plenty of screens too with a digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The latter comes with Android Auto and Apple Carplay compatibility, BlueLink and a 360-degree camera.
Comfort from a reworked suspension.
The Alcazar will be offered with both petrol and diesel options. The first is a 2.0-litre petrol unit with 116 kW and 191 Nm. The other is a 1.5-litre diesel engine with 85 kW and 250 Nm.
Both engines come with the choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. To emphasis the ride comfort, the suspension system has been reworked.
