The new Hyundai Alcazar SUV is presented in three variants of Prestige, Platinum, and Signature with petrol and diesel engine option
The new Hyundai Alcazar was launched in India on 18th June 2021. It was opened for pre-bookings on 9th June at Rs.25,000, and till date 11,000 orders have been placed. Sales have crossed 5,600 mark with the waiting period extending to 1-2 months depending on variant. Bookings can be placed either by visiting the company showrooms or via the company’s ‘Click to Buy’ website.
Hyundai India claims that bookings are evenly shared between each of the three variants – Prestige, Platinum and Signature. However, it appears that the Hyundai Alcazar petrol variant has received more attention as compared to its diesel counterpart while there is a 50:50 split between manual and automatic transmission options.
