Recently Hyundai launched a new three-row SUV, Alcazar, in the Indian market. The Hyundai Alcazar might be based on the popular Hyundai Creta SUV but comes with loads of differentiating factors. For starters, the Alcazar is longer than the Creta in terms of both the overall length and the wheelbase. The Alcazar also comes with a newly designed roof and a completely new haunch.
