best thing about hyundai is its service network. my family had owned hyundai cars since i was a baby currently we own alcazar 2.0 and 2012 santafe…we went on a family trip to leh back in 2016 and while crossing the zojila pass my santafe faced a gearbox issue due to crossing over a big boulder or something like that…anyway we didn’t expected to get that fixed in leh but to our surprise they flew in the spare part and fixed it. So hats off to hyundai for its diverse service network…and as for safety i have another story from my childhood..we owned a 2007 hyundai tucson the old one and my father had a crash in it at the speed of 100 and he survived with minor scratches now i don’t know weather it was luck or something else but i trust hyundai cars.

I drive this new turbo Alcazar, it's butter smooth driving, ample power and being signature model, I have all the features. My personal favorite is Ventilated seats, it's must with ever rising temperatures, bloody Xuv700 top end model with 30 L tag doesn't have ventilated seats.😂 Safari - Good car but only in diesel, future is gloom for diesel cars. Xuv700 - 9 months waiting, by that time price will again go up. Those who bought in first 6 months of launch are lucky, all others it's too costly especially for top model MG hector plus - mileage is 5kmpl in city Alcazar - this is jack of all trades, you have power(thanks to turbo), you have features, safety is decent because they offer 6 airbags, 360 camera, front and back sensors. Good mileage. ~11 in city ~16 on highway.

I bought the 1.5L turbo DCT signature model last month. Here is a genuine review from an actual user : The 7 gear 1.5L turbo DCT engine is absolutely fantastic. The refinement and responsiveness of the engine is truly superb. The comfort mode is great and the sports mode is a delight to drive in. There is no “elasticity” or jerks during gear change. It’s absolutely smooth and “transparent” and the response makes it a treat to drive. Moreover, there is no engine noise or vibration inside the cabin. The inside cabin is nice. The air cooled seats are a treat. The trimmings could be better though. But the Bose music system and the huge sun roof makes up for this. If you fold the third row seats, the space you get is huge to keep luggage, groceries, boxes, golf bags etc. The second row seats are very comfortable if you fold the third row seats. The car handles well - very easy to drive in city traffic and narrow roads. It’s much better than the other bulky SUVs, if you mainly drive in the city and highways. The ride quality is very good too. The finesse and smoothness in the drive and handling are par excellence. Overall, I am thrilled with the car, and I strongly recommend it. For the price, I don’t think you can buy a better car. In fact, it’s as good as many expensive Rs. 35-50L car. Happy to answer if you have any specific questions.

@Arianne3011 Жыл бұрын

Diesel versions are pretty nice provided either the owners are pliant drivers or they're chauffeured around because of the low power in relation to the size & weight of the car with a 1.5-litre diesel engine that churns out 113 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque (regardless of whether it's paired with a 6-speed MT and a 6-speed AT). However if the owners enjoy driving their car(s) then both the older (discontinued) 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol that churned out 159hp and 192Nm as well as the new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine that develops 158 bhp and 253 Nm of peak torque - are undoubtedly much more desirable. Infact wthere are many alcazar enthusiasts still prefer the older 2.0 litre engine even though it has lower torque figures;- the new smaller 1.5 ltr. turbo engine produces 61 Nm of more torque than the outgoing bigger 2.0 ltr naturally aspirated engine.

Given the situation it is necessary for companies to develop efficient turbo petrols/petrol engines or strong hybrids to replace these diesel engines and Suzuki and Toyota are the only companies who are serious about it. As for Suzuki’s engine they are more than good enough for day to day use and smooth enough to satisfy any buyer hence they are always on top of the sales chart. Whereas Hyundai petrol engines aren’t the best in terms of regular use, efficiency and the cars are pretty expensive to maintain. Which reflects on their sales chart.
