The coronavirus crisis has been putting off new car launches yet again this year. Many key launches have been delayed and one of them is the much-awaited Hyundai Alcazar. We told you earlier that, Hyundai India was gearing up to launch the new Alcazar in our market on April 29, but with the skyrocketing number of COVID-19 positive cases in the country, the Korean carmaker has postponed the launch date in a bid to avoid any mass gathering for the event. As per our sources, the launch plan has now been deferred even further to June and could also be pushed ahead to July if the number of COVID positive cases continue to spiral on.

The Hyundai Alcazar gets a longer wheelbase than the Creta, by 150 mm
Even our dealer sources in metro cities who were belting up to start accepting pre-bookings for the Hyundai Alcazar agaion in May, have reaffirmed that the upcoming seven-seater SUV is likely to go on sale only next month, as they continue see deterioration in footfall and enquiries due to the ongoing COVID crisis. The situation across the nation has been really grim as the second wave of COVID-19 is proving out to be even more threatening and is claiming more lives. Though we are reporting lesser number of positive cases and even recovery rate has improved, the threat of the virus spread will be prevailing until majority of population in India gets vaccinated. Seven states are already under partial lockdown in a bid to prevent the spread of this contagious virus and sales across the industry have taken a hit.
