Hyundai's seven-seat Alcazar has received several minor updates over the years. But the new spy pictures reveal that the Mahindra XUV700 rival will get the most significant update since its launch. The brand recently launched the updated versions of the Creta, i20, and i20 N Line. In fact, the Creta facelift garnered over one lakh reservations within three months of its bookings commencement in January this year.

Hyundai Alcazar facelift: Design

Coming back to the Alcazar, the test mule of the three-row SUV spotted testing in India and was completely camouflaged. Yet this prototype offered glimpses of its redesigned bodywork. As seen in the image, the Alcazar facelift is expected feature a new and upright front end, including a larger grille, the new Santa Fe and Exter-inspired H-shaped daytime driving lights (a full length light bar could also be on the cards), reworked front bumper, and Creta-style vertically stacked LED headlamps.

Not only that, it was fitted with newly designed dual-tone alloy wheels. However, the design of the side profile is likely to be carried over. While the rear end of the test mule was fully covered, it should also get a new bumper and redesigned taillamps.
