Hyundai has recently launched the Alcazar Facelift which comes with new design elements and a thorough makeover inside-out, while sharing similarities to the Hyundai Creta in both the places. In this article, we compare both the cars from the same stable, the Hyundai Alcazar and the Hyundai Creta. Let’s find out which of these two offers more value in terms of design, interior, features, powertrain, and price:

Price (ex-showroom) |
Rs 14.99 lakh to Rs 21.54 lakh |
Rs 10.99 lakh to Rs 20.29 lakh |
The Creta’s base variants are much cheaper compared to Alcazar’s base variant, but the difference between the top-spec variants is not much. If you opt for the top-spec variant of the Alcazar facelift you will have to pay a premium of Rs 1.25 lakh. Let's see if that premium is justified:

The Alcazar facelift is longer, wider, and has a longer wheelbase compared to Creta, which makes it more spacious from the inside. While the Alcazar is offered in 6-and 7 seater options and creta comes in only 5 seater option.

Both the Alcazar facelift and Creta are loaded to the brim but the Alcazar inches ahead with additional features like ventilated seats for front and second-row seats, and an electric boss mode over the Creta. Its second row experience is superior, but the rest of the features list is similar. Also, on the outside, it does get bigger 18-inch alloys, which are only available in the N Line guise of the Creta.

Both of the cars share the 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines.
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is exclusively available in the Creta.
The attributes of the Hyundai Alcazar facelift and Hyundai Creta are mostly similar. Simply said, the two siblings differ mainly in terms of size. Creta is a 5-seater compact SUV, while Alcazar facelift has both a 6- and a 7-seater option, with the former including captain seats for more comfort. While Alcazar gets the same engine as the Creta, it does miss out on the NA petrol option.
All of this culminates in the Creta being a viable option for families of five, but there's a catch: the Alcazar, a more roomy vehicle, is available for just Rs 1.25 lakh extra. If you want to be driven around and spend most of your time in the back seat or if you occasionally want to ferry around two extra passengers the Alcazar is the car for you. But, that’s only if you can stretch your budget. If you can’t, and don’t need the extra row of seats, you won’t go wrong with the Creta either; because it definitely is a great package for the price it's offered.
