Hyundai Motor India has confirmed that its ALCAZAR SUV will be launched in the country on June 18. To recall, it was unveiled in April this year as a souped up and slightly longer 6/7-seater version of the CRETA. The Hyundai ALCAZAR has a sporty design, an upscale cabin with high-tech features, and will be available with two engine options. Here's our roundup.
It sports LED lights on the front and rear

On the sides, it is flanked by roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Dimensions-wise, the vehicle has a wheelbase of 2,760mm, which is 150mm longer than the CRETA.
The SUV gets a voice-enabled panoramic sunroof
The Hyundai ALCAZAR offers a 6/7-seater cabin with an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, a retractable table for second-row passengers, a smart panoramic sunroof, and an air purifier with AQI display.
