Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Executive: Design
The Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Executive variant picks up every modern design element that you get with the top-spec version. The LED DRLs are connected, are positioned above the Hyundai logo, and the new large grille. A bit of contrast as well as bulk is added to the front look of the car by the silver skid plate on the bumper.
In profile, however, you do miss out on certain bits that are available as you go higher in the variants’ lineup. So, for example, you get 17-inch alloy wheels instead of the 18-inch units that begin from the Platinum variant. You get body-coloured door handles, silver-finished roof rails, and LED indicators mounted on the ORVM.
The rear gets in the form of connected LED tail lights, which come in an “H” shape. It gets the ‘Alcazar‘ lettering and ‘Turbo’ badging, but only on the petrol. It has a dual-tip exhaust which is sporty and adding to its rugged appeal is that large and prominent silver skid plate.
Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Executive Variant: Exterior
The Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Executive Variant’s fascia accommodates two-barrel LED headlights that flank the reworked grille. The slatted grille and the strips receive additional enhanced definition through a dark chrome treatment. You can also see the connected LED DRLs having an H-shaped design on each side, placed on the top end of the fascia. Further down, it receives a silver surround for the restyled bumper with a mesh-like pattern on the air dam.
Hyundai has provided it with a pair of 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. It’s from the sides that you will notice silver-finished roof rails and ORVM-mounted LED turn indicators. And to the doors, skid plates on the lower portion of each side add to its overall rugged stance.
Its rear wears an entirely new design, featuring connected LED tail lights, with ‘Alcazar’ spelt out in the centre. The rest of the baubles feature a ‘Turbo’ badge on the boot lid (petrol varieties only), a roof spoiler, a dual-tip exhaust, and a silver finish for the bumper surround.
Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Executive Variant: Interior
Although the Executive is the entry-level variant of the SUV, it gets a 2-tone brown and navy blue cabin theme. The Alcazar Executive is available in a 7-seater version only, so it gets bench seats in the second row.
Hyundai has endowed it with adjustable headrests for all three rows and 3-point seatbelts for all passengers. For access to the last row, there is a tip-and-tumble function incorporated for middle-row seats. This last row also gets a recline function.

It is offered with silver-finished inside door handles and silver accents in the AC vents, on the door panels and in the centre console.
On the hardware side, it does without an infotainment unit and steering-mounted controls but does get a half-digital driver’s display. The most basic Hyundai variant offered is Executive, with push-button start/stop, dual-zone AC with rear vents, and cruise control. Its safety net includes six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a reversing camera, and a rear wiper with a washer and a rear defogger with a timer.
