Hyundai Alcazar Gets A Variant Rejig, Prices Now Start Under Rs 16 Lakh

The SUV’s previously offered base-spec Prestige trim now gets ‘Executive’ suffix, with a slightly narrowed down features list

• Hyundai could have done this to circumvent the chip shortage issue.

• The new variants cost Rs 55,000 less than the now discontinued ones.

• They miss out on features like a larger touchscreen and connected car tech.

• Engine options still unchanged: a 2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel units.

• The SUV is now priced between Rs 15.89 lakh and Rs 20.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

Hyundai has shuffled the variant lineup of its three-row SUV, the Alcazar. The SUV’s previous base-spec Prestige trims have been replaced by Prestige Executive variants, as we had predicted recently. We believe the Korean carmaker has initiated this to circumvent the semiconductor shortage issue.

Here’s a look at the price comparison of older and new variants:

For the reduced prices, you do have to give up on some features such as the 10.25-inch touchscreen unit (replaced by an 8-inch display), connected car tech, auto-dimming IRVM, and chrome door handles.

That said, the Prestige was always a well-equipped trim, consisting of a panoramic sunroof, LED lighting, wireless phone charging, a tyre pressure monitor, and electronic stability control.
