Hyundai Alcazar review - More than just a three row Creta | First Drive | Autocar India

You've seen the Hyundai Alcazar in pics, you've seen our first drive impression of a camouflaged car and by now you also know pricing. It's finally time for the full Hyundai Alcazar review. Nikhil Bhatia tells you what the three row Hyundai SUV is like on the outside, what it's like inside, what it's like to drive, what it's like to be chauffeur-driven in and what the third row seats are like.

I don't know what exactly the factor is but hyundai cars have a certain simplicity in them which appeals to a wider set of audience. They always offer quality and value for money products. Really one of the nicest automobile company out there

[@VijayKumar-vo5rj]

Checked out the car last night. Features will blow off the competition no doubt. Biggest issues are 3 row- only for kids. Second row - seats not comfortable for heavier people. Pricing is on higher end. Better to go for Safari and get a luggage carrier

[@smoothinterceptor8452]

Extremely well balanced review.. Loved every bit of it. ❤️

[@birdugpegu648]

@0:00 “ Thisss….” reminded me of Doug demuro . Superb car though , loved it.

[@shrirangpatil007]

Among all the reviewers of Autocar India, he is the one I would like to review all the cars. He has better presentation skills than other reviewers and his reviews are precise, to the point and without containing any fuss. Plus if he thinks that a particular vehicle is comfortable for him to travel then it's going to be comfortable for most of the average sized Indians. More importantly, his critical analysis of the performance of the vehicle he reviews is always better than other reviewers which I think makes him the best reviewer among all the Autocar India reviewers.

[@NikhilOnCars]

Woah! Thanks for your kind words!

[@stylepluz]

Was waiting little long ❤️

[@phanikarbk]

Nice review. showing the easiness of parking and moving around in crowded traffic could give a good picture of how comfortable it is to drive in the city traffic.

[@tonmoydas5170]

The rear end has no character whatsoever, looks like they gave up past the C pillar.

[@tejashkothari1963]

Hi Team Autocar.. with both petrol and diesel car prices almost the same now, it's getting quiet tough to decide between the Diesel / Petrol Alcazar AT. Would be great to get your inputs on which is a better choice

[@dineshjayara]

True verdict. Awesome review. Yup, Safari would be good if you frequently ride with 6 or 7 adults but for family with kids and 3 adults then Alcazar would be fine.

[@sauravagarwal4412]

The "I want to see the sky" command is quite on the nose, yet pretty fitting.

Yes.....!

Just needs an "I want to break free" command to eject passengers out of the third row

Its high time that reviews mention standard equipment and not just the features in the top variant.

[@thelowcarenthusiast5015]

Hi Autocar India pls add behind the scenes for every car review

[@johndavidson3424]

The Safari or the hector plus maybe a literally streched version of the Harrier and Hector, but the Alcazar isn't just a streched Creta. It's an Alcazar, more like the smaller successor for the old 2019 Tucson based on the Palaside's design,(yeah it was the first to get inspired form Palaside's weird design). But we still want the new gen 2021 Tucson too, but Hyundai never launched it yet in India.

[@srivathsagunturu7163]

Great presentation Nikhil 👍

[@vivekstreme1994]

Looking at how it undercuts the Innova in price and offers more features. It's definitely worth it.

It’s better to be of with the 2L petrol AT Or turn to the competition. A base innova 2.4 or a Safari AT similarly priced variant would make more sense

Hi Nikhil, awesome shots! Is Hyundai recommending higher tyre pressure for the Alcazar as seen at 3:35? I think 48psi will lead to premature tyre failures. What say?

[@vidhi7463]

Good that petrol is naturally aspirated.🙂👍

[@pico_123]

Engine has lesser specs compared to safari, at the 3 rd row it's strictly limited to two kids. Hyundai should also have thought about 3 row seating for adults as well. 😠 I would go for safari as it's safe, engine is good and its class apart .

[@SPM_SS]

There's a smooth naturally aspirated petrol for people looking for performance. There's the 20 kmpl diesel for those looking for low maintenance. And power to weight ratio will help. Of course, the fiat engine in the safari is a gem though.

[@rohanroy6032]

Tata service

[@dipu94321]

The safari is powerful absolutely. But a lot of people are not gonna prioritize that. These cars will be mostly mall crawlers, and in so, the extensive features list of the Alcazar over the safari will give it the edge.

[@jackod6183]

And yet Hyundai will outsell safari 10 to 1. lol
