2024 Hyundai Alcazar Facelift To Get Unique Design

According to our sources, the upcoming Alcazar 2024 will feature a different exterior design over the Creta facelift. The current version of the Alcazar features the same front end as the 2nd gen Hyundai Creta save for minor changes like a chrome studded grille. The side profile of both SUVs were largely the same up to the B-pillar. The real difference between the 2 SUVs were in their wheelbase and rear design. The Alcazar got a wheelbase of 2760mm over the Creta’s 2610mm to accommodate the 3rd-row seats. It also featured a unique rear end with an upright tailgate and larger tail lamps than the Creta.

While the design of the Alcazar is set for a major overhaul, the dimensions could remain in the same ballpark with a length of 4500mm, width of 1790mm, and a height of 1675mm.
