Hyundai Alcazar gets an updated rear section with new LED taillights that look much nicer and a twin-tipped exhaust

We have already driven the Hyundai Alcazar and have also shared the experience of our brief drive. You can read all about that on the carandbike website. Visually, the Alcazar shares most of its design and styling cues with the Creta, however, we get to see some differentiating elements in the form of a new cascading grille, slightly restyled LED headlamps, along with an updated bumper and foglamps. The profile is also different, the obvious reason being it's longer now, in fact even the wheelbase has increased by 150 mm, which was so far unheard of in this segment. The SUV also get a new design element at the rear, with the addition of the quarter glass, while at the rear we get new LED taillights that look much nicer, and a twin-tipped exhaust.
