Hyundai Alcazar facelift: Exterior & Interior

The latest test mule of the Alcazar SUV gave away some glimpses of its design. Going by the previous spy pictures, it is likely to get an upright front end, a larger grille, the new Santa Fe and Exter-inspired H-shaped daytime driving lights, a light bar running across its width, redesigned front and rear bumpers, Creta facelift-style vertically stacked LED headlamps, newly designed wheels, and reworked taillamps, among others.

Inside, the cabin is expected to come with a revamped dashboard and centre console. There could be a new steering wheel and fresh upholstery with dual-tone theme. The screens could be carried over from the outgoing model: the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and 10.25-inch all-digital instrument cluster with a new UI.
