What’s New in the Hyundai Alcazar Facelift?

The new Alcazar borrows design elements from the popular Creta, including Quad-Beam LED headlamps, while adding unique features like H-shaped LED DRLs, inspired by the Exter SUV. The front fascia is dominated by a larger grille with a honeycomb pattern and three horizontal slats, complemented by a radar module for the ADAS system integrated into the lower air intake grille.

On the side, the SUV sports 18-inch alloy wheels, a refreshed body cladding, functional roof rails, and blacked-out C-pillars. The rear is marked by redesigned tail lamps, inspired by the international Palisade SUV, and a newly styled tailgate. Both the front and rear bumpers have been given a chunkier look.
