The Korean car brand Hyundai has once again made headlines on its Alcazar launch, similar to Creta but with more extensive features. The competition is also high as it will be competing with brands like MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari, who are known for the domination in the SUV segment, Alcazar’s turn has just begun. The Alcazar will be launched in three trims namely Prestige, Signature, and Platinum, and 2 seating options, 6 seats, and a 7 seat option. It comes with two engine options, a 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel with 6-speed automatic and manual transmissions.

    Hyundai Alcazar will have the longest wheelbase compared to its competitors which is an advantage to the 3rd row for more space and accommodation. This SUV has notably been stretched by 150mm compared to the Creta and is a total of 2,750mm. Compared to its competitors, it is 19mm more than Tata Safari and 10mm more than MG Hector Plus, which means Alcazar went all, out for this car making it truly the longest wheelbase in the market. Apart from the wheelbase, the Alcazar also boasts about its boot space which is 180 litres. This is also the first in this class to have the highest boot space in this segment. So this means the 3rd row is spacious for seating and otherwise for sufficient enough space for holding luggage for the long road trips and travels.
