Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) recently updated the Alcazar for the 2023 model year. Alcazar is the larger version of the Creta. It shares the same underpinnings. However, there are enough elements to distinguish between the two SUVs. The manufacturer was already accepting pre-bookings for the three-row SUV and now it has been launched in the Indian market. Here, are five things you should know about the 2023 Hyundai Alcazar.
The design of the Hyundai Alcazar has been updated. It gets a new front grille that is slimmer than the outgoing one. However, the bumper design remains the same.
Hyundai has introduced a new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine for the Alcazar which replaces the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine in the line-up. It produces 158 bhp at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque output of 253 Nm at 1,500-3,500 rpm. It will come mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Hyundai has added more features to the Alcazar. It now comes with a new puddle lamp with the Alcazar emblem. There is also an engine idle start-stop system which should help in increasing fuel efficiency.
