Having completed the successful launch of the Creta Facelift, Hyundai Motors is now shifting its focus towards the launch of the Safari, XUV700-rivalling SUV, the Alcazar Facelift for the Indian market. The Alcazar, Hyundai’s formidable contender in the SUV segment, faces stiff competition from rivals such as the Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV700, MG Hector, and Kia Carens. With its anticipated facelift, Hyundai aims to further enhance the Alcazar’s appeal and solidify its position in this fiercely competitive market segment.
The updated Alcazar model boasts a refreshed exterior design, featuring a robust new radiator grille and an upright hood that enhance its commanding road presence. The addition of connected LED DRLs above the grille and split unit vertical LED headlamps with cube-like detailing further accentuates its distinctive look. On the sides, new alloy wheel designs add to the vehicle’s appeal, while the rear now showcases dual L-shape connected taillamps. Hyundai has also updated both the front and rear bumpers.

The center console has been refined, featuring a new gear lever for automatic transmissions and illuminated buttons for functions like ventilated seats and the electric parking brake. The dashboard receives a redesign with sleek AC vents and a dual-tone theme.
