Having said that, it could feature dual-connected displays for infotainment and digital clusters, dual-zone climate control, a new touch-based climate control panel, and Level-2 ADAS tech, which should further comprise a bunch of advanced active safety features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, collision avoidance, high-beam assist and much more.
Expected Price and Rivals
The refreshed Hyundai Alcazar is likely to be priced from around Rs 17 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will continue to take on the likes of MG Hector Plus, Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari.
