The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic situations in the country have once again led Hyundai to delay the launch of the 6/7-seater Alcazar SUV, which was supposed to be arrived by the end of May 2021. It's the second time when Alcazar's launch has been postponed. We believe Hyundai will soon share the revised official launch date.
While the wait for Alcazar's price declaration has got longer, select Hyundai dealerships have already started taking its unofficial bookings. For the people not in know, it is a three-row version of the Hyundai Creta SUV that will be 150mm longer (2610mm wheelbase) to accommodate an extra row of seats. Hyundai will offer it in both 6-and 7-seating options. While the former will get two captain seats in the middle row with a unique floor-mounted central console (with a wireless charging pad & cup holders), the latter will offer a conventional bench-type seat. The third row, in both seating configurations, will come with a 50:50 split-fold function to further increase the 180-liters of standard boot space.
