Hyundai Alcazar, the latest offering by the South Korean automaker was officially launched only a week back but it has already made quite an impact. The bookings for the Alcazar has already crossed 4000 units and just like every other Hyundai car in India, it is being assumed that the waiting period of the Alcazar will shoot up considerably in the coming few days. In fact, Hyundai has already made it official that the current waiting period is stretched from 1 week to 2 months.
More details
This period also depends upon the model. The company has also stated that there equal number of booking for all variants i.e. prestige, platinum, signature (petrol and diesel).
Specs
While Hyundai Creta is available with three engines — 1.5-litre petrol, 1.4-litre turbo petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel — the Alcazar is available with a choice between a 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel powerplant. The petrol unit is the third generation Nu 2.0 unit that puts out best-in-segment 157 bhp and 191 Nm of peak torque. Hyundai noted that the Alcazar petrol can go from zero to 100 km/h in less than 10 seconds.
The 1.5-litre diesel engine, on the other hand, develops 113 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque, which is the same as in Creta diesel. Both the powerplants are available with a choice between a six-speed manual gearbox and a six-speed automatic transmission. Hyundai claims that both the engines on the Alcazar deliver best-in-segment fuel economy. These gearboxes have been taken from Creta but the company claims to have improved them for better performance.
