It's official! Hyundai Alcazar to launch in India on June 18. All details here
Hyundai Alcazar, the much-awaited three-row SUV from Hyundai, will officially launch in India on June 18 when the price announcement will also be made. While Alcazar was showcased in camouflage in the month of April, the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic may have delayed the official launch. With restrictions being eased, the Alcazar is now ready to hit Indian roads and bookings were opened at ₹25,000 on Wednesday. (Full report here)
There is reason behind the buzz that Alcazar has created in the auto market and this is despite the ongoing lull in the auto industry at large. Based on the enormously successful Creta, Alcazar is looking at replicating the success enjoyed by its younger ( in terms of size) sibling. Hyundai states Alcazar has been tailor-made for Indian customers and the market here is where the vehicle is entering before anywhere else.
Hyundai has been promising a whole lot of luxury and claims that Alcazar would appeal to both new buyers as well as existing Creta buyers. While both vehicles have visual similarities courtesy a prominent front grille, large headlight, DRL units and alloy wheel design, there are also other factors that seek to differentiate the two.
