Hyundai christens upcoming 7-seater SUV as Alcazar – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Hyundai Motor India on Wednesday unveiled the name of its upcoming 7-seater SUV as Alcazar.
The Korean carmaker, however, hasn’t revealed details or specifications of Alcazar, which is expected to be a 7-seater version of Creta. Alcazar in Spanish translates into palace or fortress.
SS Kim, MD & CEO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., said, “The year 2021 will add a new chapter in HMIL history, as we gear-up to enter and redefine a new segment. Hyundai Alcazar will supersede the aspirations of new age buyers and redefine existing benchmarks to ensure customer delight. As Hyundai completes 25 years in the country, we will re-emphasize our commitment to Indian customers with the Global Debut of Hyundai Alcazar that is ‘Made in India’ and ‘Made First for India’.”
Hyundai Alcazar has been developed to personify reliability and indulgence while drawing its inspiration from the royal lineage of Castles and Palaces, denoting grandeur, spaciousness and solidity, the company informed.
Making its Global Debut in India, Hyundai Alcazar will redefine driving experiences with a combination of versatility and futuristic characteristics. Alcazar will offer customers upscale mobility, be it for business travel or families travelling together to satiate their wander lust, Hyundai claims.
Alcazar, expected to debut in H1 2021, will rival the likes of Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus.
