Features of Hyundai Alcazar Platinum
Puddle lamps with Hyundai logo projection.
R18 (D=462 mm) diamond cut alloys.
26.03 cm (10.25″) multi-display digital cluster.
26.03 cm (10.25″) HD touchscreen infotainment by Bose.

So Hyundai Alcazar Signature MT only comes with 6 Seater model with petrol and diesel engine. whereas the Alcazar Signature (O)AT comes with a 6 & 7-seater model with diesel and petrol engines and it also comes with dual-tone colors. Read More
FRONT VIEW
So as this is the top model of the Hyundai Alcazar SUV it comes loaded with features and you also get dual-tone exterior colors. besides this when you look it at from the front everything is the same like cascading front grille. LED headlights and LED fog lamps.
so the alcazar looks premium business class type whereas the tata safari looks bigger wider more muscular than the alcazar and that’s where safari attracts more buyers nowadays.
But one thing that I like the most about alcazar is that the front headlight and even the fog lamp are equipped with LEDs. whereas Tata Safari comes with halogen-equipped HID projector headlights and fog lamps and also comes with a bulb that makes the safari looks less premium.
And you don’t get any camera on the front bumper whereas the Hyundai alcazar gets the front camera as well.
SIDE VIEW
Moving on to the side you will find that Tata Safari looks muscular due to its wheel arches and the alcazar looks simple but gets some sharp creases over the fenders and it feels that is primarily designed to cruise on highways, not on broken roads.
The thing that is different in Alcazar is you will get a camera even on ORVMS whereas safari doesnt get any camera. speaking about wheels Safari comes with 235/60 R18 alloys whereas Hyundai Alcazar comes with 215/55 R18 diamond cut alloy wheels clearly the safari wheel is wider than the alcazar.
Another thing is both SUV Safari and Alcazar do come with side body cladding & the thing where safari shines is safari iconic roof rails look much more stylish and the sunroof variant can carry up to 75 kg of weight and looks sporty whereas alcazar looks premium and also gest roof rail.
REAR VIEW
Moving on to the rear this is the only model of Alcazar that comes with Signature branding and engine capacity branding. besides this, you will get the rear camera, rear defogger, rear wipers, sharkfin antenna & dual exhaust.
Now in the Tata Safari, you do get wipers, a defogger, a rear camera, and a roof spoiler here alcazar looks descent whereas the tata safari looks muscular and attractive due to its unique 3D taillights but just like alcazar tata safari doesnt get dual exhaust tip.
Now rest of the things you can see in the images I have shown are the images of comparison between safari and alcazar.
Hyundai Alcazar Signature Interior
Let’s get inside the Hyundai Alcazar Signature 7-seater Interior that s again similar to the other models of alcazar the Manual model comes with a 7-seater model and the Automatic Optional variant comes with both 6 & 7 seater variant as you can see in the images.
Besides this, we mentioned all the features of the top model signature below. so in this model, you will get push-button start & smart key but in all the models you will get push-button start.
As you get inside the car you will notice some piano finish and silver finish on the D-cut steering wheel wrapped with perforated leather and you will find some leather treatment on the door and armrest as well.
On the automatic model, this top model gives you the fun Paddle shifter. on the other hand top model, Hyundai is offering a 10.25-inch multi-display digital cluster with personalized themes.
On the other hand, you will get 8-way power adjustable front seat that’s available with the seat ventilation feature as a result you don’t sweat during hot summer days.
Moving on to the second row you can select 6 or 7 seaters if you select 6 seater model you will get the second row with captain seats and between the seats, you do get a wireless mobile charger, USB port, and two cup holders beside this second row A.C vents also provided by the company here.
Moving on to the third row you don’t get enough space in this row although you do ger A.C vents, USB slots, and cup holders. in my opinion, fold down the third row and you can carry lots of luggage space here.
well, when all seats are up included a third or last row alcazar leaves 180 liters of boot space & when you fold the third row you will get 579 liters of huge space & when you fold the second row as well you will get 1051 liters of boot space.
One thing that i like the most about this SUV is during driving when you use a turn signal the instrument cluster turns into a camera screen that helps to see what’s coming on your side that’s the blind spot and when you turned off the turn signal it will convert into speedo meter.
Besides this, a smart panoramic sunroof comes with this car that is also voice-enabled and you can also open and close it via a button located on the roof near IRVM.
I have added a few features because it’s not possible for me to add all the features but I am leaving a video here so that you can see the rest of the things about Alcazar here.
