Hyundai Alcazar facelift: what to expect?
Multiple test mule sightings of the Alcazar facelift have hinted at it getting unique styling tweaks that will distinguish it further from the Creta, which got a facelift this year. While the split headlamp design might remain similar, the grille and front bumper will be different. It will get the new alloy wheels, and side claddings will be altered. The rear would sport a completely new tailgate with a fresh tail-light design that has a mix of vertical and horizontal elements.

The petrol engine is good for 160hp and 253Nm of torque and comes with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
