Hyundai Alcazar news

No, Hyundai is not outright slashing the SUV’s cost, rather it will introduce new entry-level variants for the Alcazar

The Carens may be an MPV but it treads quite closely to the three-row SUV space as well

The upcoming MPV is available with three engine options, the most in its segment

The Alcazar has witnessed the maximum price hike, and it now retails from Rs 16.34 lakh to Rs 20.15 lakh

With the Carens features and specifications being announced, here’s how it stacks up against other three-row offerings on paper

The list includes mass-market SUVs across all ranges, from sub-compact SUVs to premium 7-seat SUVs

There has been a decline in diesel offerings last year but it's still a popular option for larger SUVs and with an automatic transmission

While the Carens shares its platform with the Alcazar, their styling and engine specs are the biggest differences

The list includes features covering safety such as ADAS and driver drowsiness alert while others, including digital displays, are focussed on latest technology

While the Signature (O) AT is now available as 6- and 7-seaters, the dual-tone versions of the said trim continue as 6-seaters only

However, you can still opt for six seats with the Prestige diesel

Most of them have an average waiting period of around 1-2 months

How does the XUV700’s introductory pricing compare to other midsize SUVs?

The mid-spec Platinum (O) is the only trim in the SUV’s diesel lineup to get an automatic gearbox with both the seating configurations

How well do the numbers and feature list of the XUV700 fare against its seven-seater rivals?
