Rumour | Hyundai Alcazar To Come With 2.0L Petrol Engine

Hyundai Alcazar three-row SUV from the South Korean carmaker is ready to have its world premiere on 6^th April 2021. Its prices are likely to be announced in the month of May. Select dealers have already started accepting bookings for Hyundai’s new three-row SUV.

The Alcazar is essentially the bigger and more feature-packed version of the Creta. It will be made available in both 6 and 7-seats layouts. Once launched, it will go up against the Mahindra XUV500, MG Hector Plus and the newly-launched Tata Safari. Its prices are estimated to start from Rs 13 lakh (ex-showroom).

While the official details of the upcoming Hyundai SUV will be revealed next week, the latest report says that the SUV might be offered with the BS6-compliant 2.0L petrol engine. It’s the same unit that does duty in the updated Elantra and Tucson.

The motor pushes out a peak power of 152bhp and 192Nm of torque. It can be had with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Alcazar might also come with a 1.4L turbo petrol engine borrowed from the Creta. The turbo unit promises a top power of 138bhp and 250Nm of torque. It’s likely to come with a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission) automatic gearbox.

Recently, the 3D images of the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar have surfaced on the web. The three-row SUV shares most of its design elements with its younger sibling. A few cosmetic changes, however, have been made to the vehicle. The bigger SUV comes with a set of newly-designed alloy wheels, a flatter roof, differently designed C-column, tweaked rear bumper, wraparound C-shaped LED tailamps and extended rear overhang.

If reports are to be believed, the Alcazar could be packed with ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) technology. Features such as a 360 degree camera, BlueLink connected car technology and automatic AC unit might also be on offer.
