Hyundai Motor India has announced the completion of durability tests on its upcoming 7 Seater Premium SUV – Hyundai Alcazar, which has been wrapped in a unique castle-themed camouflage. The Alcazar will make its world premiere on April 6, 2021. 

The Korean automaker has also shown off the camouflaged Hyundai Alcazar in a trailer video, which shows off a bold and dynamic C-Pillar, LED Headlamps, and Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels.

The teaser video shows that the Alcazar SUV will share much of its styling with the Creta. Except for the new grille, the Alcazar resembles the Creta until the C-pillar. However, it is the rear section that distinguishes it from the Creta.

The Alcazar has a longer rear overhang and a thicker C-pillar. It also has a prominent waistline that runs the length of the vehicle, with noticeable creases above the wheel arches. The Alcazar will also get a unique tailgate design with much wider wraparound taillamps and a slightly taller bumper with a prominent faux skid plate.

The Alcazar will be offered with the same engine options as the Hyundai Creta, and will most likely be tuned in the same manner. The SUV would be offered with two gasoline engines and one diesel engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol engine produces 138 bhp and 242 Nm and is paired with a seven-speed DCT as standard. The 1.5-litre petrol engine, on the other hand, produces 113 bhp and 144 Nm and comes with either a manual or an IVT automatic transmission. The 1.5-litre diesel engine produces 113 horsepower and 250 Newton-meters of torque. This engine is paired with a manual transmission, but it is also available with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The Hyundai Alcazar will be the company's first three-row SUV in a long time. It will secure Hyundai's entry into the mid-size three-row SUV market, which has recently become more exciting with models like the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus, XUV500, and VW Tiguan Allspace.
