Upcoming Hyundai Alcazar Facelift
The newly spotted test mule was seen in the Middle East, and the rear profile of the test mule was seen. However, the car is completely covered but it clearly shows the new tail lamp on the SUV. The tail lamp seems to be inspired by the Palisade. It has vertically placed L-shaped tail lamps. We can also expect the SUV to come with a connected light bar at the rear. Also, the tailgate will be new.
The front profile of the SUV will also get changes which might replicate the new Creta. We can anticipate a new front grille, a new headlamp assembly, an LED light bar at the front, and new bumpers. The previously spotted test mule has revealed the new alloy design for the SUV.
On the interior, we can anticipate a similar dashboard design as the new Creta. It is expected to get a dual-screen setup with a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. A new HVAC panel is also expected to enhance the look of the cabin. The brand might change the seat upholstery and interior colour theme to give it a more premium look. We can also expect the inclusion of ADAS in the facelift.
Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Engine Options
Currently, the Alcazar comes with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine producing 158 bhp of power and 253 Nm of peak torque. This engine comes mated with a 7-speed DCT and a 6-speed manual transmission. The other engine option is the 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine which makes 113 bhp of power and 250 Nm of peak torque. This comes mated with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. These engine options are expected to remain the same in the facelift as well.

Verdict
Hyundai Alcazar facelift is expected to be launched in mid-2024 or by the end of the year. It will feature some design cues from the Hyundai Palisade but on the inside we can anticipate a similar layout as the new Creta facelift.
