Hyundai Alcazar Bags Over 12,000 Bookings

The Hyundai Alcazar is the Korean carmaker's latest launch in India and is the fifth SUV in its line-up in our market. It has garnered a strong market response within a month of it going on sale and has already received over 12,000 bookings. What's even more interesting is that the last 1000 bookings have come in just over 5 days. The SUV had crossed the 11,000 bookings mark last week itself and first 4000 bookings were received in just 10 days since its bookings were open. Hyundai started accepting bookings for the Alcazar on June 9.

The Hyundai Alcazar is 200 mm longer than the Creta's adding a D-Pillar, and 150 mm of it is in the wheelbase. It also has a premium positioning than the Creta and that reflects quite evidently in the way both cabins are executed. Though design largely remains same, the cognac brown dual-tone interior of the Alcazar comfortably supersedes the two-tone black and greige interior of the Creta's. Both SUVs are evenly matched in terms of features and don't fall short in any wat for their respective segments. The 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and the BlueLink connected car tech is the same unit in both models and receives over-the-air (OTA) updates as well. Top-end trims in both variants get features like 64 colour ambient lighting, voice commands, power adjustment for the driver seat, an eight-speaker Bose surround sound system, front ventilated seats, electric parking brake, air purifier and a 10.25 instrument cluster with multiple displays among others.
