The soon-to-be-launched Hyundai Alcazar SUV sits on a longer wheelbase with is exactly 150mm longer than the Creat that it is based on. The reason behind that is the addition of a third-row seat. The Alcazar will come with the option for both 6- and 7-seater configuration just like its rivals Mg Hector Plus and the new Tata Safari. The Alcazar will feature a more premium and modern interior than the Creta and we hope the facelifted Creta will later on get the same interior features.
