Hyundai ALCAZAR Variants Explained: Which Trim Should You Buy?

What Engine and Transmission Options Does the Hyundai ALCAZAR Offer?

The Hyundai ALCAZAR offers two 1.5-litre engines: a Turbo GDi petrol and a U2 CRDi diesel, each with manual or automatic transmission. The petrol leans towards performance, the diesel towards efficient long-distance touring.

1.5L Turbo GDi petrol

The 1.5-litre Turbo GDi petrol produces 160 PS and 253 Nm; GDi stands for Gasoline Direct Injection, a system that sprays fuel straight into the cylinder for a cleaner, more powerful burn. It feels eager in the city and quick to overtake, and pairs with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic.

1.5L U2 CRDi diesel

The 1.5-litre U2 CRDi diesel produces 116 PS and 250 Nm, with its pulling power available low in the rev range. It suits loaded highway runs and higher monthly mileage, and comes with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.

Manual and automatic transmission options

The petrol pairs with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT, a dual-clutch automatic for quick, smooth shifts, while the diesel offers a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. Both automatics add paddle shifters, so you can take manual control when the road opens up.
