In Hyundai India’s lineup, the Alcazar has often stayed in the shadow of its best-selling sibling, the Creta. However, it has become a compelling choice for buyers seeking a practical and feature-rich 6- or 7-seater SUV over the past three years since its launch. Initially introduced as an extended version of the Creta, the Alcazar has now been refined for 2024 with its design, interior, and technology updates, positioning it as a more premium offering within Hyundai’s range. While it has always been a strong contender in its segment, the latest facelift ensures that the Alcazar remains competitive—if not even more appealing—in the three-row SUV segment.
Hyundai has consistently ensured that its models, from the Verna to the Venue and now the Alcazar, stay fresh and competitive through timely updates. For 2024, the Alcazar has received the same attention with a comprehensive refresh that enhances its design and functionality. While its roots from the Creta are still evident, the latest iteration of the Alcazar stands apart as more than just an extended version of its sibling—it has evolved into a more refined, matured, and tech-rich SUV in its own right.
EXTERIOR DESIGN: A MORE MUSCULAR, MATURE LOOK
The Alcazar has always shared much of its design language with the Creta, but the facelift brings the model a more distinct, assertive character. Hyundai’s new design language is evident in the Alcazar’s refreshed exterior, which adopts the brand’s H-pattern for its Daytime Running Lamps. The front grille and bumper have been reworked to deliver a more rugged, SUV-like stance, complete with a silver skid plate that adds a touch of ruggedness. The grille finished in dark chrome is now more imposing, giving the Alcazar a broader, bolder face that sets it apart from its predecessor.

Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
