Hyundai has made some cosmetical changes on the Alcazar's exterior to distinguish its styling from the 5-seater Creta. Included in the few differences are of course a redesigned grille with chrome studded elements (extends to the headlamps unit) in place of a chrome slatted grille in the Creta, reworked bumpers at both ends with new fog lamps housings, silver skid plates, and twin exhaust pipes. Other key exterior highlights are stretched rear overhang with a new quarter glass, bigger alloys, and a refreshed rear profile comprising of an upright rear-end, and conventional-looking split-LED tail lamps that are connected by a thick chrome bar with ‘ALCAZAR’ inscribed on it.
The new Alcazar interior design looks similar to that of the Creta, with 6-&-7 passenger seating as the obvious difference.
