Is Alcazar 7-seater version of Creta?
Not by name: Hyundai sells the Alcazar as its own six- and seven-seat SUV. Against the Creta it is 230 mm longer with a 150 mm longer wheelbase, and it has the same 1.5 CRDi diesel (116 PS, 250 Nm) and 1.5 Turbo GDi petrol (160 PS, 253 Nm).
Is Creta 5 or 7 seater?
Five. Every Creta variant seats five; Hyundai's seven-seater in this size is the Alcazar, from ₹14,50,700 ex-showroom, so for Alcazar vs Creta the third row costs at least ₹3,60,000 more.
