re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

Excellent pricing - the vehicle seem loaded from base trim itself

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

Pricing was expected to be on the higher side as the base variant itself is based on one below top variant of the Creta. The top end diesel automatic undercuts the safari XZA+ by almost 2lacs and the base variant has almost all the features which one could expect.
If one wants a 6 seater variant of the Alcazar its safe to skip the mid variant and get the top end as the price difference is just 35k.

Very good pricing for this SUV. Hyundai has another hot seller under them.
Only disappointing is that there is no 7-seater version in Petrol-AT and even in Diesel, the AT is available only in the base variant.

Pricing seems to be on expected lines. At 25+L OTR Mysore for the Signature 6 AT, the 1.5 Diesel with its specs looks a bit sad though. However, will reserve comments until I take a TD. If it doesn't pass the test, then I am more or less left with only the Crysta AT to replace our Crysta MT!!

Hyundai follows the same principal of launching models with no top-end petrol automatic, there is no 7 seater petrol automatic. Prices are fine but what if I want a petrol automatic in 7 seater? Crazy. But I guess Hyundai is OK with losing some sale than having a pricey model.

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

I've been hearing from friends about the under power Diesel 1.5L to pull 7 people and luggage. I believe the R&D would have looked into these factors and tweaked the engine if it is going to be a dampener.
Folks like me who drives within 90KMPH, it's ok to trade-off sportiness for mileage and safety. Two things that defer my instinct to buy now:

1) Reviews of Toyota badged Ertiga, Kia KY & XUV700
2) TD reviews of Alcazar 1.5L Diesel

Seems to be priced well and in expected lines, good to see Hyundai not going greedy, would have been easy specially after seeing the initial interest to price it a bit higher. They did say introductory prices though, hopefully the prices stay same for few months.
Hyundai knows exactly what customers want. Been that way since the beginning. Such a proposition falling under the 25 Lakh bracket is fantastic, rivals are sure going to take a hit, it undercuts most of them by a considerable margin and falls more towards the Harrier side of things, than the Safari. Waiting to see how that third row really is with reviews rolling out

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

So Petrol doesn't get a 7-seater AT, and diesel only gets 7seater AT in the low end variant? That's a wierd variant spread imo

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

The pricing is pretty good and car offers good features but I feel 1.5 Diesel is a little underpowered for a 7 seater car.
They are also offering the same engine in Creta though I understand it is just an extended Creta but too distinguish it and make it stand out they could have provided a 2L engine with 140-150bhp.
IMO the Creta is also underpowered, 21.5L on road Delhi for 1.5L D producing 113bhp is too less.

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

Pricing is good, however that diesel engine is a sore point in an otherwise great package, it's too underpowered for a car of this size. The alcazar deserved the 2.0 litre mill from the Tuscon if it really wanted to take on the Safari, Hector, Harrier etc.

That being said, the petrol engine would be the one to pick although efficiency figures is something that may pinch buyers. I actually thought the petrol version might be more expensive than the diesel one.

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

Looks like petrol signature has to be the choice variant here. That being said I am still racking my brain to figure why would Hyundai not offer 7 seater AT variants across the board. I was hoping for them to do Hyundai version of “one more thing” but alas it was not be

re: 7-seater Hyundai Alcazar launching in June 2021. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 16.30 lakhs

I wouldn't say it is fantastic pricing but this car is definitely priced smartly and well-positioned by Hyundai. It undercuts rivals like the Safari and Innova but we've got to remember that those cars are available with better and more powerful diesel engines. Also, their third rows seem to have better space than whatever we've seen of the Alcazar in recent Youtube videos (it won't be right to pass a final judgment on this aspect at this moment).

Hyundai definitely deserves credit for the positioning of the car in the market. By not launching true base variants of this car, they have positioned this as a premium alternative to the Creta, thereby ensuring that the Creta still maintains a decent chunk of its market share.

The only major grouse at the moment is the non-sensical variant spread of car, offered by Hyundai.

Aggressive pricing. So every variant of Alcazar gets Voice enabled panoramic sunroof, Cruise control & 10.25” HD touchscreen with Android Auto & Apple car play. Well played Hyundai.

Hyundai Alcazar TVC

Hyundai says 4,000 bookings of Alcazar received. 50:50 spilt between auto & manual transmissions. Of that total, 60% are six seater and 40% are 7-seater.

Of course the real picture will come after TD, but 113 Bhp and 250NM in a 7 Seater people mover doesn't seem a good idea for almost 25L.
