Hyundai's upcoming 7-seater premium SUV to be officially called Alcazar in India
Hyundai Motor India on Wednesday announced that its upcoming 7-seater premium SUV will be officially named Alcazar. The company had registered the name in 2020.
The Hyundai Alcazar has been spotted amidst testing on public roads several times in the past. It is going to feature a very Creta-inspired styling and will in fact appear to be a longer and more premium version of it.

In terms of exteriors, expect the Alcazar to sport high mounted LED DRLs, and split front headlamps as found on the existing Creta. The front main grille will be revised, along with the sportier set of bumpers which will contribute to a slightly distinctive look. Over atthe side, it will come with an extended overhang and its longer overall length will also make it look more premium than its five-seater counterpart. The rear section will feature a redesigned tailgate with wider split-LED taillights and bumper.
