Hyundai Alcazar: What To Expect

The all-new Hyundai Alcazar is all set to go on sale in India tomorrow and it will be taking on the likes of the recently launched Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus and the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. The 2021 Hyundai Alcazar is based on the new-generation Creta but is more than just a three-row derivative of the compact SUV. The Korean carmaker has made some modification under the skin to keep it adequately spacious for passengers in all rows and maintain its stability on the go.
