Furthermore, reports suggest that in the new Prestige Executive trim, the Alcazar is likely to come with a price tag of INR 15.89 lakh ex-showroom. This means the base variant of the car will be INR 55,000 cheaper than the current base variant. Prices on the other models are likely to remain the same.
Hyundai Alcazar Prestige Executive – Omission of Equipment
The lower price comes with the deletion of equipment as well. Sources report that the Alcazar in the Prestige Executive trim will not come with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen. Instead, the brand is likely to supply an 8-inch infotainment system. The Connected features are also likely to miss out on the Prestige Executive. In addition to this, Hyundai will also delete the SOS button from the IRVM. Instead, the brand is likely to offer a manually dimmable IRVM. Apart from this, the outside dark chrome handles will likely come in body colour.
