Hyundai India is putting the finishing touches on the facelifted Alcazar, its flagship three-row SUV. Repeatedly spotted testing in recent months, the upcoming model is expected to hit showrooms around the festive season, between September and October.

Spy shots from the Instagram account ‘theracemonkey’ have revealed key details about the upcoming Alcazar facelift. Although heavily camouflaged, the leaked images suggest a dramatic transformation for the SUV’s front end. The chrome-laden grille is reportedly replaced by a sleek, all-black design reminiscent of the Creta N Line. Additionally, the headlights feature a sharper, more angular shape with distinctive H-shaped LED daytime running lights.

While the sides retain the Alcazar’s familiar silhouette, the rear end is in for a transformation. Expect a redesigned tailgate, fresh taillights, and a sportier bumper with a dual-tip exhaust. The SUV will also ride on new, eye-catching dual-tone alloy wheels with a swirl pattern.

Inside, the Alcazar is anticipated to get a significant upgrade with a dual-screen setup, similar to its smaller sibling, the Creta. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are also likely to be included in the feature list.

Under the hood, it’s expected to retain the same powerful engine options – a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol and a 1.5-liter diesel, paired with either manual or automatic transmissions.

With a host of visual and feature upgrades, the Hyundai Alcazar facelift expect a slight price hike over the current model, which is priced between Rs 16.78 lakh and Rs 21.28 lakh (ex-showroom).
