The base Prestige variant of the Alcazar offers almost all of the must-have and some good-to-have features as well. It’s a good option if you're interested in the petrol-manual powertrain.
Hyundai Alcazar Petrol Prestige vs Platinum Variant - Price, Features Comparison
The Platinum variant of the Alcazar petrol is also available with only the manual transmission and 7-seater layout. It costs Rs. 18.67 lakh, which is Rs. 1.90 lakh more than the base variant.

The Alcazar’s Platinum variant doesn’t completely justify the incremental cost over the base variant. So, if you’re spending this much, we’ll strongly recommend upgrading to the higher Platinum (O) variant, which offers better value, the convenience of an automatic transmission and the option of captain seats in the 2nd row.
Hyundai Alcazar Petrol Platinum vs Platinum (O) Variant - Price, Features Comparison
The Platinum (O) variant of the Alcazar petrol is only available with an automatic transmission. It costs Rs. 19.99 lakh, which is Rs. 1.32 lakh more than the lower Platinum 7S variant. Besides the 7-seat layout, this variant also has the option of a 6-seat configuration with captain seats in the 2nd row.

The Platinum (O) adds the following features over the Platinum trim:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Platinum (O) is Alcazar’s most affordable petrol-automatic variant you can buy. It’s a better option than the Platinum petrol-manual as it offers far superior value for money. It’s also our top recommendation for Alcazar petrol-automatic buyers.
Hyundai Alcazar Petrol Platinum (O) vs Signature (O) Variant - Price, Features Comparison
The Signature (O) top model is also available with the same seating options and turbo-petrol-automatic powertrain as the lower Platinum (O). It costs Rs. 20.28 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs. 29,101 more than the lower variant. This variant is also available with dual-tone exterior for another Rs. 4,899 and it doesn’t get the 7-seat option.

The Signature (O) adds the following features over the Platinum (O) trim:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
Beyond the Platinum (O) variant, the Signature (O) doesn’t quite justify the value over the Platinum (O) and also offer mostly good-to-have features. However, if you are interested in dual-tone exterior, then it more than offsets the value cost of the Signature (O) single tone. If you’re buying the top variant of the Alcazar, then you should buy it with the dual-tone exterior for better value for money.
Which Variant Of The Hyundai Alcazar Petrol Should You Buy?
The Alcazar’s base variant is suitable for most petrol-manual buyers. The Platinum variant does not quite justify the cost with the features. Moreover, to all Alcazar Platinum buyers, we’ll highly recommend upgrading to the Platinum (O) for better value as well as the convenience of automatic transmission. It’s our top recommendation for Alcazar petrol buyers. Beyond that, the Signature (O) with dual-tone is a better option than the single tone version.
