The Hyundai Alcazar is a compact crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai in India. Introduced in April 2021, it is a long-wheelbase version of the subcompact Creta, whilst having additional third-row seating, styling changes, and a different powertrain option.[7][8]
