2024 Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Coming Soon
The prototype of the revised Hyundai Alcazar, captured in previous sightings, indicates several significant design alterations. It showcases a new set of alloy wheels, while the rear may feature a sleek LED light bar connecting the wraparound LED tail lamps, potentially replacing the thick chrome strip for a more contemporary look.
Similar to the forthcoming Creta facelift, the front fascia is anticipated to undergo visual revisions. Earlier this year, the Alcazar received RDE compliance and underwent minor exterior updates, and these latest changes appear to further enhance its overall appearance and compliance.
Interior And Features

The current model already offers a range of impressive features, such as a panoramic sunroof, wireless chargers in the first two rows, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a fully digital instrument cluster, TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), BlueLink connectivity, and ventilated front seats.

2024 Hyundai Alcazar: Mechanics To Continue
No alterations to the powertrain are anticipated for the updated Hyundai Alcazar, which will retain the 160hp, 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine and the 115hp, 1.5-liter diesel engine sourced from the Creta. Both engines have been updated to comply with BS6 Stage II emissions norms. It is expected that the respective manual and automatic gearboxes will also be retained.
We anticipate a slight price increase on select variants of the Alcazar facelift, and further details are anticipated to emerge closer to the launch date around mid 2024. Competing with models such as the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus, and Mahindra XUV700, the Alcazar continues to be a strong contender in its segment.
Verdict
The forthcoming 2024 Hyundai Alcazar is poised to elevate its already remarkable foundation. Anticipated improvements in styling, safety features such as an ADAS suite, and a technology-rich interior are set to establish new standards in the segment. With the continued use of its dependable 1.5-liter turbo-petrol and diesel engines, coupled with versatile transmission options, the Alcazar presents a comprehensive package for individuals seeking a fusion of luxury and performance.
