The Hyundai Alcazar is one of the best looking cars in the brand's line-up and offers a comfortable and spacious cabin. Sharing most of its parts and components with the Hyundai Creta, the Alcazar does boast a unique and impressive identity that helps it have an edge over other seven-seater rivals. Kia on the other hand too is all set to launch a new MPV in this segment to take on the rivals like the Maruti Ertiga, Hyundai Alcazar, etc. Having said this, here is a quick Kia Carens Vs Hyundai Alcazar comparison that will help you decide which one of these is a better car for you.
Kia Carens Vs Hyundai Alcazar - Design and Dimensions
The Hyundai Alcazar may remind you of the larger and more expensive Hyundai Palisade by some angles but retains most of Creta's design language. The car gets a large chrome grille upfront with LED headlamps and a faux skid plate. The front of the car looks bold and imposing, thus making it slightly better than the Creta. The side profile is largely dominated by the dual-cut alloy wheels and you will also notice that the Alcazar has a longer wheelbase when compared to the Creta. The extended wheelbase does help in freeing up space inside the cabin for the additional third row of seating. Having said this, the rear however looks subtle and complements the character of this car. In all, the Hyundai alcazar is a handsome looking car that boasts a strong road presence.

Just like the Alcazar, the Carens too will share its underpinnings and other parts with the Kia Seltos and will boast a more aggressive and sharp design language. The front of the car will be dominated by a large tiger-nose grille while the car will come with LED headlamps on either side. The side profile will have a similar language and we are expecting the higher variants of the car to offer large dual-cut alloy wheels. In terms of dimensions, we expect the Kia Carens to be as long and as wide as the Alcazar. The wheelbase measurements for both these cars may also be the same. Likewise, the build quality too will be at par o each other.
Kia Carens Vs Hyundai Alcazar - Engine Specs
The Hyundai Alcazar currently is offered with two engine options - a 1.5L NA petrol engine, and a 1.5-L turbocharged diesel engine. Both these engines can further be had with a manual as well as an automatic gearbox. While the performance is impressive, we do miss the 1.4-L tGDi motor in the car. The Kia Carens too is expected to offer same powertrain options. It is also expected that Kia may launch a turbocharged petrol variant of the car for hardcore driving enthusiasts.
