Refreshed dashboard will resemble the Creta’s, to have twin screens. Deliveries of the Alcazar facelift are expected to begin by mid to late September. The pre-facelift Alcazar costs between Rs 16.78 lakh and Rs 21.28 lakh (ex-showroom), and the facelift is likely to be priced slightly higher.
What to expect from Hyundai Alcazar facelift
The Alcazar is all set for a mid-life refresh to become more competitive. Multiple test mule sightings of the Alcazar facelift have hinted at it getting unique styling tweaks that will distinguish it further from the Creta, which got a facelift this year. While the split headlamp design might remain similar, the grille and front bumper will be different. It will get the new-look alloy wheels, and side claddings will be altered. The rear would sport a completely new tailgate with a fresh tail-light design that has a mix of vertical and horizontal elements.
Facelift features, powertrain highlights
On the inside, the Alcazar will get a dashboard similar to the one in the Creta facelift, replete with a twin-screen setup and soft-touch materials. The refreshed Alcazar will continue to have 6- and 7-seater configurations. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options will continue. The petrol engine is good for 160hp and 253Nm of torque and comes with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The diesel engine delivers an output of 116hp and 250Nm and is available with a 6MT or a 6AT.

The facelifted Creta gets Level-2 ADAS technology like the new Verna sedan. The Creta gets features like forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and lane departure warning through sensors and front camera. The updated three-row SUV will continue to rival the likes of Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus in the domestic market.
