The test vehicle was covered in black covers to hide off the design details. But a few details were still noted from this mule.

Front-end changes

Starting at the front of the all-new Hyundai Alcazar facelift. This time around, as well, the company will be offering the new Hyundai Alcazar facelift with a similar fascia as the new Creta facelift. However, like the current model, it will also get a few unique design details. They will help buyers in distinguishing between the two siblings.

The main highlight will be the addition of a new front grille. We can observe that the new Alcazar facelift will come equipped individual thin elements finished in chrome. There will also be a few horizontal chrome lines that will add to its modern appeal.

There is also a front camera that has been placed just underneath the Hyundai logo at the front. Eagle-eyed viewers can also note the ADAS sensor on the lower front bumper. Speaking of the bumper, it will also get a new design with a large air dam on the bottom.

The front bumper also houses the new vertically stacked LED headlights which most likely will be similar to that of the new Creta. The LED headlights and DRLs have also been retained.

Side profile and rear

From the spy images, we can note that the main highlight of the upcoming Alcazar facelift will be its new alloy wheels. This time around, the company has completely revamped the design and it now looks a lot more premium. The wheels spotted on this test mule had 8-spokes and were finished in a diamond-cut finish.

Most likely the company will be offering them in 19-inch. Currently, the Tata Safari is offered with this size of alloy wheel and it looks very imposing. Apart from these, not much has been noted from the side profile of this car. However, it could remain the same as the current model.

Coming to the rear end of the new Alcazar facelift. The test mule shows that it will be coming equipped with L-shaped LED taillights. These remind us of the Hyundai Palisade, its flagship full-size SUV from the international markets. Most likely there will also be a new connecting LED light bar in the middle of the taillights.

2024 Hyundai Alcazar Interior

This particular test mule did not reveal any new details about the interior of the Alcazar facelift. However, most likely it will get a similar dashboard layout as the new Creta facelift. This could potentially include the new 10.25-inch connected-screen setup.

Reportedly, the new Alcazar facelift will still be available in both six- and seven-seat configurations. Additionally, it is expected to get the panoramic sunroof, ADAS suite, and other features from the updated Creta.

Hyundai will most likely continue to offer the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine with the Alcazar facelift. The petrol motor will generate 160 PS and 253 Nm. It will also come paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).

On the other hand, the 1.5-litre diesel engine will produce around 116 PS and 250 Nm. The diesel motor will be offered with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine offered on the current Alcazar will not be carried over to the Alcazar facelift.
