Hyundai Alcazar CNG

Last Updated On 3rd Nov'23: The Hyundai Alcazar CNG, expected to be released in December 2023, is one of Hyundai's upcoming models. In the meantime, Hyundai has made noteworthy improvements to its Digital Key 2 feature, aiming to provide a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience for car owners.   

Hyundai's Alcazar is a six-seven-seater three-row SUV sold in India by the South Korean carmaker. Although this SUV shares its underpinnings with the five-seater Creta, it is a larger car with distinct features, equipment, and powertrain specifications. A 2.0L normally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.5L turbo-diesel engine are both offered in the Hyundai Alcazar. Manufacturers are preparing to offer new CNG models in response to the increased demand for CNG vehicles. In India, the Hyundai Alcazar CNG will help the company increase SUV sales.

What we know so far?

Hyundai Alcazar CNG has been spied testing on Indian roads. We expect the SUV to be released soon, and the South Korean automaker will offer it in all of its varieties. The Hyundai Alcazar is currently equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. It has a power output of 157 bhp and a max torque of 192 Nm. However, expect at least a 15% reduction in power and torque when using CNG.

Design and Dimensions

The Hyundai Alcazar CNG's design and dimensions are expected to remain unchanged, but the company may make small changes. The exterior look and features will most likely be the same as the current model. The interior of the compact SUV will be comparable to the current model. The Alcazar's current models have a boot space of 180 litres. We can expect the boot space to be reduced as a result of the CNG cylinder installation.

Summary

The Hyundai Alcazar is one of India's most feature-rich six-seater SUVs. With the introduction of the CNG version, the Alcazar will be more appealing to customers. It will most likely have the same feature set as the petrol and diesel models. The Alcazar also comes with a good safety package, including six airbags, a 360-degree camera, ABS, and ESP, among other features.

Pricing

The brand has not provided any information on the Alcazar CNG's launch, nor has it announced its price. We estimate that it will cost Rs 1 lakh more than the standard models.
