Hyundai ALCAZAR's launch postponed to June this year
What's the story
Hyundai ALCAZAR, which was slated to debut this month, will now be launched sometime in June. The company has postponed its plans due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in India. To recall, the 3-row SUV was revealed last month. It comes with a longer wheelbase than the Creta, a new grille design, larger 18.0-inch alloy wheels, and an updated cabin. Here's our roundup.
