Hyundai Alcazar Vs Hyundai Creta - Price, Mileage, Specs

The base variant of the Alcazar SUV comes loaded with a slew of features that are not seen in the base variants of its  rivals. These features include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, all 4 disc brakes, LED headlights, LED tail lights, machined alloy wheels, keyless entry with push-button start/stop, panoramic sunroof and wireless phone charger.

The updated Alcazar now comes with a 1.5L turbo petrol engine that replaces the older 2.0L normal petrol engine. The new turbo petrol engine produces 160PS of power at 5500rpm and 253Nm of torque between 1500rpm and 3500rpm. It offers a better torque to weight ratio of 190Nm/t compared to the now-discontinued normal petrol engine.

The Alcazar is one of only a handful of SUVs at this side of Rs. 20 lakh which offers the SUV styling along with the premium experience of captain seats in the 2nd row. Furthermore, it also offers a turbo petrol engine with both 6- and 7-seater options, which is a rare sight in this segment.

The Hyundai Creta 2024 offers reasonably loaded base variants with features like front and rear armrests, rear AC vents, idle stop and go, remote central locking, rear disc brakes, 6 airbags, ESC, HSA, TPMS, 5x 3-point seatbelts, and tilt and telescopic steering wheel.

The Hyundai Creta’s top variants offer a long list of features like powered driver seat, ventilated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ADAS features such as forward collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, blind spot collision avoidance assist, and high beam assist.

The 2024 Hyundai Creta is offered with 5 powertrain options and all of them offer a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The 1.5L normal petrol is offered with a 6-speed manual and CVT automatic transmission options. The 1.5L turbo petrol engine is offered with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, while the 1.5L diesel engine comes with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

The 2024 Hyundai Creta’s 1.5L turbo petrol engine produces 160PS of power and 253Nm of peak torque, making it one of the most powerful SUVs in its class. The Kia Seltos also offers the same engine and transmission option and produces the same power and torque figures as the Creta turbo petrol. However, the Creta trumps the Seltos ever so slightly with its higher power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios.

Ever since the launch of the first-gen Creta in 2015, Hyundai’s compact SUV has ruled the C-SUV segment beating the likes of the Renault Duster, Kia Seltos and contenders. The massive sales numbers and brand recall have ensured the Creta commands a strong resale value in the used car market.
