The Hyundai Alcazar now comes with a wired-to-wireless adapter. This adapter will allow wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a feature that was earlier not present on the SUV, even when it was given a midlife update back in September 2024. Hyundai is offering this feature on the Prestige, Platinum and Signature variants, skipping the entry-level Executive trim, as it does not come with an infotainment system. The carmaker did not specify if this adapter is an optional piece of equipment for the Alcazar but has offered a new price point for the variants, which are as follows :
