Hyundai updated Alcazar SUV has been spotted testing, revealing fresh design details. The latest spy shots show new LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) with a distinctive ‘H’ element, different from Creta.
It’s uncertain if the facelifted Alcazar will also feature a light bar connecting the DRLs. The grille is slightly larger than the Creta’s horizontal slats, while the main headlamp unit remains vertically stacked and similar. Additionally, the alloy wheels boast a new design, adding to the SUV’s refreshed look.

The upcoming Alcazar facelift is set to adopt the same dashboard layout as the refreshed Creta, featuring dual 10.5-inch infotainment screens and a matching digital instrument cluster. A significant enhancement in safety will be the introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). The SUV will maintain its flexibility with both 6 & 7 seater configurations.
Powering the facelifted Alcazar will likely be unchanged 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. The turbo-petrol engine generates 160hp and 253Nm of torque, with transmission options including a 6-speed manual and an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. On the other hand, the diesel engine produces 116hp and 250Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
