Ahead of its launch, Hyundai Motor has formally removed the covers from the forthcoming Alcazar SUV. Along with the news that reservations are now being accepted, the automaker unveiled three pictures of the updated version of its flagship three-row SUV today. On September 9, the 2024 Alcazar SUV will make its debut in India. Hyundai dealerships nationwide or online can be used to reserve the SUV for ₹25,000. Since the release of the redesigned Creta in January of this year, the Korean automaker has launched two significant products.
Hyundai debuted its first three-row SUV, the Alcazar, in India back in 2022. The Korean automaker has since sold about 75,000 of the model. It will still be available in the six- and seven-seat layouts as two seating arrangements. The Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari, among other three-row utility vehicles, are competitors of the Alcazar.
