The Hyundai Alcazar is back in 2025. And it’s better in every possible way. It still carries the same core idea of being a comfortable 6 or 7-seater SUV. But now, it looks more premium, drives smoother, and comes packed with new features.
People who already liked the old Alcazar will love this one even more. And those who didn’t notice it before are now giving it a serious look.
Bold Looks
The first thing you notice is the design. The new Alcazar looks sharp and modern. It borrows design cues from the new Creta but adds its own twist.
At the front, the grille is now bigger and has more detailing. The LED DRLs are cleaner. And the headlights are sleeker. They give a rich and futuristic vibe. The bumper is also redesigned. It now looks more SUV-like.
From the side, the long body still gives it a strong presence. You get new alloy wheels. They look premium and sporty. The roof rails are neatly integrated. The rear gets a connected tail lamp setup now. It stretches across the tailgate and gives the SUV a wide stance.
Overall, the 2025 Alcazar looks more muscular and premium. It now looks like a car that belongs in a higher segment.
Cabin Feels Premium
Step inside and you feel the luxury. The dashboard has a new layout. The twin-screen setup is the highlight. One for the digital instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment.
The cabin now uses more soft-touch materials. The fit and finish is much better. The steering wheel is new. It’s flat-bottom, leather-wrapped, and has touch-style buttons. The gear lever has also been redesigned.
There’s ambient lighting now. It runs through the dashboard and the door panels. You can change the color as per your mood. Small touch, but it adds a lot of feel.
The dual-tone interiors still look rich. But now you also get an option for full black with copper stitching in the turbo variant. It gives a sportier vibe.
Space for All
Alcazar is all about space. And Hyundai hasn’t changed that. You still get to choose between 6-seater with captain seats or 7-seater with a bench in the second row.
Captain seats are wide, comfortable, and come with individual armrests. Perfect for long trips. You even get a center console between them now. It has storage and a wireless charger.
The third row is still best for kids or short adults. But Hyundai has made small changes to improve comfort. The backrest angle is slightly better. And there’s more headroom now.
Rear passengers get AC vents, cup holders, USB ports, and sun shades. So even backbenchers feel looked after.
Boot Space and Flexibility
With all three rows up, the boot is small. But still usable. You can keep small bags or a stroller. Fold the third row and you get a flat, wide space. Great for airport runs or weekend getaways.
The second-row seats fold easily. You can adjust them to create more legroom for the third row. It’s flexible and practical. Families will love this.
Big on Features
This SUV is feature-loaded. And we’re not just talking basics. You get stuff that you usually see in premium cars.
There’s a panoramic sunroof. It makes the cabin feel bright and open. The front seats are ventilated. That’s a blessing in Indian heat. You get a powered driver seat with memory function.
The 10.25-inch touchscreen is smooth and crisp. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There’s voice control too. You can ask the car to open the sunroof or change AC settings.
There’s a 360-degree camera with blind view monitor. Parking such a big SUV is now easier. You also get front and rear parking sensors.
The Bose sound system adds rich audio to your drive. You get eight speakers and a subwoofer.
Wireless charging pads are available for both front and rear passengers. There are Type-C ports everywhere. No more fighting over charging points.
You also get dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, smart key with remote start, and puddle lamps. The list goes on.
ADAS Included
Hyundai has now added ADAS in the new Alcazar. That brings a whole new level of safety and comfort. You get lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision alert, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic alert.
These features are useful not just on highways but even in city traffic. It helps avoid accidents and gives peace of mind.
Safety Gets Better
Hyundai has improved safety overall. You get six airbags as standard now. There’s electronic stability control, hill start assist, traction control, TPMS, and ABS with EBD.
The structure has also been strengthened. Hyundai claims better crash protection now. No official safety rating yet, but the build feels solid.
Child seat anchors, seatbelt reminders for all rows, and auto emergency braking are also included in the top variants.
Engine Options
You still get two engine choices. One is the 1.5-litre turbo petrol. It makes 160 PS and 253 Nm. Comes with a 7-speed DCT gearbox. The other is the 1.5-litre diesel with 116 PS and 250 Nm. Available with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.
The turbo petrol is quick and smooth. Ideal for people who want a bit of thrill in their drive. It handles city traffic well and cruises effortlessly on highways.
The diesel is the choice for mileage lovers. It gives better fuel economy and offers a calm, relaxed driving feel. It’s not as quick as the turbo petrol but perfect for long distance cruising.
How It Drives
The Alcazar drives more maturely now. Suspension has been fine-tuned. Ride quality is smooth. It absorbs bumps well. Even bad roads don’t shake the cabin too much.
Handling is neat. It’s not sporty, but it stays composed in corners. Steering is light at low speeds and firms up as you go faster.
The cabin stays quiet. Wind and road noise are minimal. That makes it a great family tourer. Long drives feel less tiring now.
The brakes are strong and inspire confidence. The car feels planted even during emergency stops.
Fuel Efficiency
The turbo petrol gives around 17–18 km/l on highways and around 13–14 km/l in the city. The diesel version goes up to 20 km/l on highways and about 16 km/l in traffic.
Of course, your driving style will affect these numbers. But overall, the Alcazar is fuel-efficient for its size.
Auto start-stop and eco mode help save fuel in traffic. You also get a mileage monitor on the screen to keep an eye on it.
Price and Variants
The 2025 Alcazar starts from around ₹16.7 lakh and goes up to ₹21.3 lakh ex-showroom. It’s a little more expensive than before. But you do get a lot more for the money now.
Hyundai offers multiple variants. So you can pick based on your needs and budget. You can go for manual, automatic, 6-seater, or 7-seater. Diesel or petrol.
Even the base variant gets good features. So you don’t feel like you’re missing out.
