The long wait for the updated Alcazar will end on September 9, 2024, with Hyundai announcing the price for its three-row SUV. We already know how the car looks from the outside and inside, thanks to official pictures. Earlier, we contrasted the SUV's exterior with that of the pre-facelift model to show you what has changed. Now, we compare the interiors of the new and the old Alcazar to see how well-equipped the three-row SUV has become post the makeover. If you're as curious as we are to see the interior differences between the Alcazar's facelift and pre-facelift versions, let's take a look.
Hyundai Alcazar Interior: Old vs New
The revamped Alcazar features a two-tone cabin theme of brown (Noble Brown) and dark blue (Haze Navy), complimented by glossy black accents and brushed aluminum throughout, compared to the black-tan finish of the pre-facelift version. It also has a revised dashboard, with a 10.25-inch dual-screen setup (one for the infotainment and the other for the digital instrument cluster). Additionally, the dashboard now has a new spot above the glovebox for storing small items. The new Alcazar has the same steering as its predecessor, but now it is finished in blue. Additionally, the previously contrasting silver highlights are now all-black.

In the updated three-row SUV, a touch-based, dual-zone automatic climate control system has replaced the conventional setup found in the old Alcazar. The central AC vents are sleeker than before and located underneath the infotainment system. Further, the side vents are now horizontal instead of vertical. The centre console also has a new design with a silver finish instead of the black one seen on the previous model.
The Alcazar's six and seven-seat arrangements remain the same. However, in the 6-seat configuration, individual armrests have replaced the fixed center armrest in the second row. There's also a 'boss mode' that provides extra legroom for the passenger sitting behind the co-driver in the second row. Additionally, the middle-row captain chairs now have wing-shaped headrests. The seat ventilation feature can be had with all four individual seats (6-seat version). Other features include adjustable thigh support and headrests for the second-row seats, as well as blue-finished headrests for the third-row seats.
On the other hand, the 7-seat model is said to have a seat tumble mechanism for easy access and egress to the third row, as well as enhanced seat padding and support. In addition, the front row has cooled seats, while the second row features wireless charging and two USB Type-C charging connections.
