The Alcazar measures 4,500mm in length, 1,790mm in width and 1,675mm in height. When it was launched, the Alcazar also came with best-in-segment wheelbase of 2,760mm. This results in spacious interiors for its occupants, a USP that family SUV buyers are looking for. The Alcazar SUV also gets 180-litres of boot space which can accommodate multiple backpacks. Additionally, the second and third row seats can also be laid flat, making room for even more luggage, as well as large items.

The Alcazar also comes with the option of a 6- or 7-seats. Thanks to this, the Alcazar features both uncompromising practicality as well as comfort. In the 6-seat version of the Alcazar, the 3-row SUV comes with features such as captain seats in the middle row along with premium 2nd row console with smartphone wireless charger, storage and cup holders.
The 7-seat version comes with 60:40 split seat on the 2nd-row and 50:50 split seat on the 3rd row.
