Hyundai Motor India just dropped a new Corporate diesel variant of the Alcazar SUV at ₹17.86 lakh, and honestly, it’s packing some pretty sweet features like a voice-enabled panoramic sunroof plus more automatic transmission choices.
The Korean carmaker’s clearly been listening to what people actually want. This update feels like Hyundai’s way of saying “hey, we get it” – you want premium stuff without selling a kidney for it. Smart timing too, considering how cutthroat the three-row SUV game has become lately.
What’s New in the Alcazar Corporate Variant
So here’s the deal with this Corporate variant – it’s bringing some genuinely cool stuff to the party. That voice-enabled smart panoramic sunroof? Yeah, that’s the headliner here. Previously, you’d have to shell out serious cash for the top trims to get this feature. Now it’s more accessible, which is brilliant for those weekend getaways when you want to feel a bit fancy.
But wait, there’s more (sorry, had to). Dual-zone automatic climate control and ambient lighting throughout the cabin come standard. Look, these aren’t just Instagram-worthy features – they actually make a difference when you’re hauling the family around or stuck in Bangalore traffic for the umpteenth time.
Expanded Automatic Options
Here’s where petrol folks will perk up. Hyundai’s thrown in a 7-speed DCT option in the entry-level Prestige Petrol variant for ₹18.63 lakh. This dual-clutch setup should theoretically give you snappier shifts and better mileage than your regular torque converter. Though let’s be real – we’ll need some proper road time before giving it our stamp of approval.
The diesel Corporate gets both stick-shift and automatic flavors. The AT version will set you back ₹19.28 lakh, which isn’t too painful considering you’ll never have to deal with clutch-brake-clutch-brake in Mumbai’s legendary traffic jams again.

Engine and Performance
The Alcazar sticks with what works. That 1.5-litre turbo-petrol churns out 160PS and 253Nm, while the diesel makes 116PS and 250Nm. Are these earth-shattering numbers? Nope. Will they get the job done for most of us? Absolutely.
Fuel efficiency is where things get interesting – 17.5 kmpl for petrol manual, 18 kmpl for the petrol DCT, 20.4 kmpl for diesel manual, and 18.1 kmpl for diesel auto. That diesel manual figure is pretty impressive for something that can seat seven people and their luggage.
Features and Technology
Standard kit includes a 10.25-inch HD touchscreen with Hyundai’s Bluelink connected car tech. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay need an adapter though – bit of a bummer in 2025, but not a dealbreaker.
The Corporate variant sports quad beam LED headlamps, those fancy sequential LED turn signals, and 17-inch diamond-cut alloys. It’s a good-looking package that won’t have you parking in the far corner of the mall lot.
Safety Equipment
Hyundai hasn’t cut corners on the safety front, thankfully. Six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, and vehicle stability management come standard across the board. Higher variants get Level 2 ADAS with over 21 functions – forward collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, the works. It’s the kind of tech that might just save your bacon someday.
Pricing and Positioning
The Corporate variant finds its sweet spot between the Prestige and Platinum trims. At ₹17.86 lakh manual and ₹19.28 lakh automatic, it’s hitting that value-for-money nerve that Indian buyers love.
With the Alcazar range now spanning ₹14.99 lakh to ₹21.70 lakh, there’s something for everyone’s wallet. Smart move in a market where every thousand rupees matters.
