Guys, please explain the roof rack laws you spoke about at 21:30. I have been contemplating a C3 Aircross and it could be a good choice if one can use a roof rack.
22:30 it doesn't...!!! Target customer is very limited... People who are tired to see the creta as it's literally everywhere... Additionally 3rd row for occasional use. That's it!!!
Teambhp and a lot of websites state that Carens is based on the K1 platform (i10) and that is the reason for the MPV shape and more affordable price. While Alcazar is based on K2(Creta/Seltos). Would be great if you guys can ask the brands and share what's the truth. Great video!
Hey A! We have tried in the past. No clear answer. Hence, we rely on our judgement. Even if the platforms are different - the proportions are different - with differing outcomes.
Yeah, even Faizal said this in his review IIRC, that's one of the reasons I looked down on it and never recommended one despite a good experience from my TD.
12:47 about the picnic trays: I own the old Alcazar and I use the picnic trays to stand my iPad on it and watch videos and stuff while it's not my turn to drive... Pretty useful for that purpose once you try it. However, it is indeed too bulky, especially in the 1st Gen Alcazar, and definitely eats into rear seat space! Honestly we bought this car for just 3 of us to travel comfortably on long distances so the rear seats are in their rear most position and we still have a lot of legroom so it doesn't really bother us!
Due to space restrictions on my garage( which is 4600mm length) I was confused between Carens and Alcazar. But selected Alcazar because of 1. Need to have a SUV 2. Seats of Alcazar felt more comfortable than Carens 3. My family of 6 members and all are well below 5.5 ft so all sit 🪑 well comfortable 4. Alcazar fited with 360 degree camera which will be very helpful for my family members including my wife to drive 5. Signature (Top model) fitted with ADAS, which may come handy in future Indian road 6. New look Dashboard and infotainment system, feels much better than Carens 7. Carens largely now in use as Taxi, so not need a car of such tag
I think the Alcazar is placed perfecly. It is a segment of its own. 7 seater, practical, understaded. Everyone whon is not looking for a SUV but 7 seater. More of a Estate territory. my society has more Alcazars than scorpio, xuv700 combined. it is a non MPV, non asking for the attention SUV, with almost all the practicalities and none of the show factor. Perfect.
Absolutely... It is a comfortable vehicle for a family of 3 adults and 2 kids... But yea... There is no price difference between Petrol VS Diesel... Guess Hyundai can cut the price of petrol by 1.5L
My personal experience. I mailed Hyundai customer service for a longer test drive of about 50kms. They called me back after a day, took my details and next day dealer called me and offered me a longer test drive with a Petrol Manual Creta just as I requested. We did 60kms. No money was charged. I was genuinely happy and impressed. Ask for the things you want guys. Other brands should copy this. I would pay for this service to be honest.
@@kshitijpandey6514 I have Ertiga and trust me we can only use those last 2 seats(for Kids) when we need to travel within the city for small distance … no space for luggage for out of city travel.
I have the Alcazar 1.5 diesel, have been in the Carens as well. Test drove the xuv and harrier as well as rivals. It was quite a simple pick for me actually. XUV had reliability issues during the test drive itself, and as was the case with the harrier, its just too big to drive in the city which was my general daily usage. The top end models of both the harrier and xuv was over budget. They have done a good job marketing the lower price varients. Once you go to the showroom you are most likely going for the top end, which is more pricey than a top end alcazar. And I think many features have been written off as showey or unnecessary. 360 degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system, ventilated seats and blind spot camera are a godsend on any car. You have to see it in action to believe it. And none of these were available in the creta. Coming to the carens, the biggest plus point was cost. But the interiors and general quality of the interiors were quite poor. Never bought the Alcazar not saw it as a 7 seater. Always had the last seats folded down. So what you actually get is a more well equipped, safer and bigger booted creta for a few lakhs more. CretaS/SE++ if u will.
I was coming back from the airport in an Alcazar and I was sitting on the second row. I missed the first half of a Formula One match, so I was watching the second half on my iPad while travelling. I had placed the iPad on the picnic tray, yes, it was super convenient for me then. That was the only time when I used it in the three years of my family owning that vehicle.
While folks may be against or call GNCAP & BNCAP as marketing gimmick, it at least puts the pressure on manufacturers to build a better car better than they have been manufacturing, especially the likes of Maruti, Hyundai, Kia. While I understand that a 5 star rated car is not going to save us from completely from fatal accidents, it certainly will be better in minor scenarios. What I really don't like about Hyundai and Kia is that they build 5 star or better built cars for markets outside India and why can't they do it for one of their biggest market?
@@Adwatism Exactly. If people were actually ready to pay for an expensive hatchback, then we'd probably have the hatchback civic, global Swift, Polo etc on sale in India.
@@Adwatism people who understand that the n division of Hyundai was led by Albert beirmann tye legendary chassis engineer behind almost all bmws uptill the f90 m5 Those people who value driving engagement over stupid gimmicks will happily pay 25 lakhs rs or even more for thaat nurburring tuned chassis and Albert beirmanns chassis expertise
@@atharvaatre3273how many people would that be? 50? 100? It doesn't happen because it's an incredibly niche market, so much so it's just not worth it for most car manufacturers.
That Zen Estilo comment was a personal attack 😂😂!! We had one from 2013 Jan for about 11-12 years, ran just 40k km. Loved it to bits despite the shortcomings. It had power mirrors, rear defogger, rear wiper, fog lamps, power windows, and we got it mew for about 4.10 lakhs after some solid discount. This was the facelifted estilo. It was lying nearly unused for 4-5 years after which we had to sell it. For all its obvious shortcomings, I somehow liked it. A small trivia, the Zen Estilo review in Autocar RUclips channel was the first time I saw Karthikeya review cars, and have been a follower since. (Sadly didnt watch the review before the purchase 😅😅) P.S. given we've sold it, can I remain subbed? 😂😂
Simple and on point. So I'll try to do the same with my comment. Great work altogether, summary rating: 9/10 - you missed the plastic tailgate, looking forward to the next one!
@@AnirudhMaira Wow, I thought it's just improbable to get them installed. Can you share a picture if you don't mind? Coz That's something important for my needs and Want to see if That makes me not buy the Signature version 😅
I have 3 questions, 2 of them I'm posting here - 1. In context to new swift, new creta, and now alcazar, when can be a car called new model instead of facelift? 2. What exactly do you mean by platform and platform sharing and how it's different from rebadging?
Sir .. beautiful video...i am confused between hycross gx(o) 8seater - alcazar 2024 petrol signature 7seater top end - thaar roxx petrol 2wd petrol ax7 top end...whch is ur suggestion...all my family member height is max 5 ft 4 inches and lesser..i prefer 7 seater and thaar roxx is added only due to that child hood Passion..alcazar gives all features which i luv...hycross is super spavious n best ride quality than alcazar i think...plz advice..also does Toyota dealership provides after sale drl fitment in Hycross gx o
I am sure not the first one to say - Both of you deliver the details, insights and every bit so calmly with subtle hits to sarcasm, witty smiles. Love to spend 45-50 min everytime there is a new video.. Someone commented below about Coldplay, I would say similar but Diljit concert.. :) Keep up the great work !!
Really interesting format of review, initially I wasn’t very forthcoming but I saw the entire video and felt happy about the genuine comparison and transparency which has made me like the video. I wish if you could add on to videos and convert them into playlist by trying the other model - manual petrol bench seats etc; which will enhance the review and make it very comprehensive- will definitely make me like the video and channel more
Thanks for the suggestion and the feedback @ackeeshjames, these aren't out full reviews on the products. Just first drive impressions, once we get the vehicle from the manufacturers again we'll be covering it in a separate video.
Its always amazing to watch and listen to how in detail kartik studies any vehicle, discussing every small detail.. AND shumi- i dont know how you do perfect summery everytime without missing any point..! Brilliant!!
Common man you mean Pune or Mumbai don't have car cafes, coz Delhi NCR has which don't offer you the sitting, but then they can offer you parking somewhere in that vicinity and the server from the cafe would serve you in your car, so now you the reason why you need picnic seats, honestly, I love it.
What is hyundai doing. They have not given diesel variant to any automobile journalist for reviewing. Not a single video of diesel variant is available on RUclips
5 on 5 for the quick summary Shumi. Sunday's always chilled out with #MotorIncFirst episodes. Kudos to Hyundai and Kia though for whatever they are coming out with. They have definitely upped the quality and sophistication game in the Indian Car market. People look out for small things now.
Lovely episode again. Always look forward for your videos all week. Just a breezy conversation, almost feels like therapy to listen to :) But, Might have to disagree on the seating as I'm 5'8 and there was no way I could even sit for more than short rides of 10 - 15 minutes if the middle row is set to me conservative space to the first row.
13:00 The Innova Hycross does the cup holders much more intuitively, They are on a panel that you can fold up between the captain seats. Locks into place, closer to your reach, and holds weight really good.
Is it by choice that Kartik and Shumi are wearing a brown top/pants and sitting on a black couch representating Alcazar interiors? I just love the aesthetics of Motorinc videos! Its like everytime it sets a color tone in my brain at the start of the video and keeps it steady througout ❤
Could you guys do a video on the MG Hector? Cuz you guys did on harrier, Compass,Creta,Seltos and the MG Hector/Hector Plus is the only one left from this group ... Ik it's not what most people want but it's just a suggestion
I still think spare wheels are a necessity in India no matter how much the roads "improve". I had mentioned this incident on another MotorInc video and I think I must bring it up again... Back in 2022 in Goa I was returning home around midnight. I was driving an XUV on one of the new concrete roads that had just opened up in Siridão-Bambolim. I was suddenly in a situation where the vehicle lost control, veered towards the island and was brought to a halt on the fast lane of the highway. I stepped out to see that the driver's side ORVM was broken but the rest of the vehicle was perfect, until I noticed that both the tyres on the driver's side were completely flat. While waiting for RSA and family members to reach the accident spot I traced my path back along the same highway and say a rod sticking out of an expansion joint about 200-300 meters away from where the XUV came to a halt. I understand that a single spare wheel wouldn't make any difference in such a scenario but in case of a single flat tyre it can be helpful to reach somewhere safely. However, if our roads are made hastily without thorough tests or finesse then it's pointless trying to adapt to these so called 'standards' and hence be prepared for the worst no matter what. It's a similar situation with automatic scooters losing the kick-starter when batteries or electrical & electronic systems by the manufacturers aren't that reliable.
After a lot of arguments in our family, My father had booked a zen estilo and till this day we are still against this. Me and my sister wanted to get a Figo, but estilo being from maruti, got a green ticket for our house
Oh the Rayta hill stretch is super amazing!! I went to that road on suggestion by a good friend, took my new at that time i20 Nline and had a super fun day !
I’ve booked the new Alcazar with captain seats. I see the car as a premium SUV with two rows (a spacious second row). I will have the third row always folded = A great boot space. When you consider Alcazar as a two row luxury SUV, it is in a league of its own. For example: Creta, Taigun, and Kushaq are too common and not so luxurious, and Tucson, Tiguan and Kodiaq are on a higher price point nearing 40L.
so if my budget is 20 Lakhs On road which car will be the best 7 seater for me with an smooth engine and reliability. Btw an amazing video as always , kudos to kartik and shumi
Hi I am a college student. I am starting my two wheeler journey and need something for weekend rides and my daily home to college commutes. Should I consider a pulsar n250? Or any other choices you guys would suggest :>
Good video n overall feedback of this car. They say the Roof rails r functional. For Diesel, Yes. But Would it be functional for Petrol variant also which has sunroof? What would be the actual mileage in CITY traffic for Petrol considering the petrol is same as creta with some added power, not sure if it will go beyond 8km/l similar to creta petrol AT. If I add spare tyre in Diesel, how much would be the mileage for Diesel variant? With added weight, can we say it could have more strength (imagining approx 3.5 ncap )😊
Sir .. beautiful video...i am confused between hycross gx(o) 8seater - alcazar 2024 petrol signature 7seater top end - thaar roxx petrol 2wd petrol ax7 top end...whch is ur suggestion...all my family member height is max 5 ft 4 inches
Hey Karthik, I work for Away India manufacturing Roofbox and they are completely legal in India as per RTI , not sure about roof rack though! Love motorinc videos btw!
Hey Nayan! Would really appreciate it if you could link us to any docs or sites where we could get clarity on this. Thanks! And great to connect with you. Will check em out.
Even 2 wheelers I see when they are on long commute watch movies on their phones mounted on their bikes. Same with Rickshaws and 4 wheelers. Split screen with Google maps and RUclips on the other.
As Shumi puts it, Darwins theory will eventually have its way. 😂 Jokes aside, watching movies on a two wheeler is something that should lead to anywhere between suspension of license to some jailtime.
I’m using the Carens Prestige manual, it has black cloth seats and the roominess is same as top model. Oh yes, the comfort of the Carens do trump Alcazar everyday. Can the Alcazar captain seat be swapped with Carens driver seat as the driver seat of Carens does not have enough underthigh support is very less?
While seating at a tyre shop for replacement a Carnival owner shared this that the vehicle eats up rear tyres in every 10-15k KMs which is a super bad thing not being discussed (if true on scale). 7 seat vehicles in India are not very practical, except Innova and Safari where even adults (till 5 ft 8 inch) can sit in the back and do long distance. Update: it was Carnival, not Carens
@@motorinc hey thanks. This input gives birth to my question 😅 - alcazar signature automatic 6s or GV strong hybrid? Also the xuv700 has a 6 seater now (again diesel has double mileage than petrol in Xuv700)
I am in market for a new car. If i ever buy this one, first thing I'm doing is downgrading to 16 inch wheels ! Tired of brittle ride quality in my honda city with 16 inchers. Low profile tires are just not suitable for our roads.
Do you think that having a 5 seater version of this with 2nd row set a slightly farther back and get a car much suited to chauffeur driven buyers. With immense boot. Massager recliner backseats could be an option as well, I guess this would be a better utilisation of the extended wheelbase than making seats for children which you don't like.
Carens is based on the cheaper K1 platform shared by Sonet/Venue Alcaraz is based on the more expensive K2 platform shared by Creta/Seltos That's why Carens is cheaper than Alcazar
A little bit of context for why the picnic tables are present. Ususally you have the product planning team list out a bunch of features that must be present in the vehicle for launch. Then you have the costing team come in & give their 2 cents. Then there is a back & forth between them which results in what are basically hard features that must be part of the vehicle brochure. The rest is upto the design & PD team to get it to work in the vehicle. And this is where you get some disconnect on how it is advertised & how it actually works & perceived in the customer's hands. This is of course a parallel to seemingly useless features in cars you see nowadays.
@@motorinc Useful! But depends on how it is designed. I've seen instances during family road trips where having it would've definitely helped. Safety first, of course.
Apart from the weight, I think the Diesel misses out on the sunroof so as to price it at par with the Turbo Petrol. Top variants are identically priced !!
@@motorinc 5+0. 4+0 is too limiting. Also, kids in the third row won't sit still....and with that little room...be ready for the unforseen broken second row seats..
I just realised, if instead of a Conference table, add a coffee table to the podcast, and this will become the Ideology of "This connect" and the commercialism of MI "First".. Me doing the Schumi camera Side look smile...
Often heard it referred to as 5 + 2, but it’s actually more like 4 + 2, or just 4 with a spacious boot. That said, it might make more sense to go for a base model Innova Crysta instead of the Alcazar. Plus, the Innova with captain seats has an option where you can keep the middle seat, which adds to comfort as Shumi mentioned.😄
Yes, it’s a very powerful option for family trips. I believe people choose captain seat versions for their comfort and mainly for aesthetic appeal. A 7-seater car with captain seats looks great. Additionally, we can add a custom seat between the captain seats to accommodate an extra person, making it even more fun.(But yes, we miss the seat belt)😄@@motorinc
Yes, you are right innova is proper MPV which has massuve success in our country. I respect that car, but the only alternative it had was lately launched Marazzo. These both are great for our indians roads, marazzo could have eaten up the sales of crysta but rhe brand name and engine option made it dead. Anyway i am happy with my Marazzo 😊
I had estilo 2009 petrol lpg in my family long back, we bought it used for 1.35 handling was weird and that car had barely any power but lot of space n milege, after sometime my brother had a small accident in it fortunately he was all good but not the car... front suspension structure got damaged we tried to repair it but it made it worst, it got damaged more than it looks After repair handling for worst every time I try to go in corner it feels like it was about to topple with no steering feedback and brakes but after driving it for 2 years we sold it for 1.23😂 I was so happy finally we got rid of that shit. Best part is we learned lot of things by that repair, we came to know the best mechanics in my city, who and how different things get repaired in a car. And what cannot be repaired if damaged
21:30 Need an entire video on roof racks. I own a Skoda Kushaq and the roof rails allow a few attachments. However, I have no clue about the regulations or the accessories and their feasibility.
Disappointed that at 5:25 ,harrier and safari name didn't come up... Not a tata fanboy but having seen all 3 of the cars,safari is the best SUV if we r talking about highway rides and long 800 900 km rides ..I think it comes just next to innova crysta in terms of comfort and way ahead of XUV 700 and overhyped Scorpio N..
As always great summary The turbo engine has lag? Or not was not spoken about - MG Hector with similar size engine is terrible. No mention on mileage No mention if the digital tech is good or just stuffed in and far too much to use practically on daily runs The point of 7 seater seating position is a fantastic value added comment whiz no one else has made before Can we remove the flimsy tray and get a smarter accessory on Amazon ? This podcast has lesser banter and jokes than previous ones
Hey Ameya, Turbo-lag is not an issue with this engine. We did discuss that it’s easy to drive. You can’t compare with Hector because of size and weight. See if you can find the kerb weight of the Hector. That in itself is a clue. 😆 And thanks for all your feedback.
Hey BM! We had one of the viewers comment - he works for a company that makes rooftop boxes - they made an RTI and turns out there’s no limitation. We have asked him for links.
Correct me if I am wrong I believe the pre-facelift Alcazar never came with the 1.4 GDI it was launched with the new 1.5 GDI after the 2.0 . The 1.5 GDI came in with the Alcazar and the interim updated seltos .
Superchargers increase complexity, cost and sap power since they are driven directly from the crankshaft. Whereas a turbo uses waste energy. Supers generally good for larger engines. Hope that helps!
Does the size of the car like Carens, xuv 700, Scorpio N and the it’s body movements on long trip can cause uneasiness & nausea to back seat (middle and 3rd row)? My family never complained of these issues in my last hatchback while they are doing it for the Carens.
My worry is, my PDI date is way 2-3 month earlier than my car book date. I am not sure how it is impactful. I feel like cheated. I don't know what action I can take against the dealership. Please guide me
I was wondering if some payment method can be done, so our membership fee goes directly to you people. I don't know if google has a cut in the fee, but I'd like you to have every single rupee that I spend. When you'll launch the website maybe then? Or you can suggest better.
@@motorinc Hi! Yes the car is for him, I’ll only drive it once or twice a month on long trips.My father is a bit hesitant about carens manuvering , but its hard to let go carens interiors also its cheaper than creta e. We have swift dzire 2014 right now.
Kia Carens is based on the sonet/venue platform... So there's definitely a difference in the sense of space and presence of alcazar (creta/seltos platform) vs the carens
24:37 Absolutely agree. Sunroofs has got to be the worst thing to happen to the car market this decade, and there are a lot of bad things that have happened to the market,
Hi guys, although I love your hour-long reviews, I don't always have the luxury to spend an hour on a vehicle review. It would be great if you could also create 10-15 minute review videos.
Thank you for the suggestion @SatyprakashMohapatra, you can choose to watch it as long as you can at a time and then come back to the episode if you prefer. Or, use the chapters to watch the Quick Summary which is a part of almost all the episodes to just get the gist of it. 😊
I am looking for a 7 seater SUV that looks good and could potentially run for 10-15 years. I CAN spend on the Fortuner lower variants because tbh it does look quite badass IMO and it's mega reliable...but the interior is soooo...bad? The other options are Safari and XUv700. I much much much prefer the Safari in terms of everything but worry a bit about the reliability(and from what I understand post sales stuff is slightly better with Mahindra but none are close to Toyota). Like I know Fortuner IS a good choice for looks and reliability but a part of me will feel a bit dumb for spending 45L for that interior lol. And I know the interiors can be updated afterwards but would installing more speakers and a 12 inch touchscreen affect the long term reliability of the Fortuner (I don't know how modifying cars works tbh)? 🤔 Basically I am confused between Tata Safari Top model and Fortuner lower variant. Save 15-20 lakhs and get way better interior and a very good looking exterior but C- reliability or go for badass exterior, bad interior and A++ reliability? One calculation could be like this: Do you think that one could need to spend 10+L on a Top Model Tata Safari in order to maintain it for 10 years? Would that be a worst case scenario or not very uncommon for Tata?
I'm sure the other car Shumi mentioned is the MG Windsor that Karthikeya drove!😉🤪 Coming to the picnic trey, in luxury cars like the BMW 7 series, Audi A8 & the Mercedes Benz S-class, they say the picnic trey is there as a means to keep a laptop for the business running person setting in backseat. I like the idea of it in the luxury cars as they make it more sturdy & has soft closure metal hinges.
I returned after a detour to Karti's Estilo review 😅. Well, why someone needs to consider a Alcazar/ Carens when a XL6 with CNG can fulfill the needs of customers?
Respected Sir, I am bit confused among safari diesel,XUV700 Diesel , Byd emax7 & hycross Innova hybrid, I can manage budget but want to take best value at best price
Hi PK, we will have to assume you will cover a lot of kilometres for the hybrid and diesel to make sense. Our recommendation is the 1) Hycross Hybrid 2) XUV700 . We haven’t driven the emax7 yet.

Thanks for sharing @padmanabha24! Congratulations, we wish you an awesome time with the Alcazar!
Very true. With captain seats version, if all three row drivers and passengers adjusts, 5'6 persons can easily sit in there!

Absolutely... It is a comfortable vehicle for a family of 3 adults and 2 kids...

Guess Hyundai can cut the price of petrol by 1.5L
My personal experience. I mailed Hyundai customer service for a longer test drive of about 50kms. They called me back after a day, took my details and next day dealer called me and offered me a longer test drive with a Petrol Manual Creta just as I requested. We did 60kms. No money was charged. I was genuinely happy and impressed. Ask for the things you want guys. Other brands should copy this. I would pay for this service to be honest.
That sounds great on Hyundai's part @054_SusmitGupta. What'd you think of the test drive?

Have you seen the size of that? That is a full fledged luxury van. It might have the 7 seats, but it isn't made for daily or highway commutes.
@@kshitijpandey6514 I have Ertiga and trust me we can only use those last 2 seats(for Kids) when we need to travel within the city for small distance … no space for luggage for out of city travel.
I have the Alcazar 1.5 diesel, have been in the Carens as well. Test drove the xuv and harrier as well as rivals. It was quite a simple pick for me actually. XUV had reliability issues during the test drive itself, and as was the case with the harrier, its just too big to drive in the city which was my general daily usage. The top end models of both the harrier and xuv was over budget. They have done a good job marketing the lower price varients. Once you go to the showroom you are most likely going for the top end, which is more pricey than a top end alcazar. And I think many features have been written off as showey or unnecessary. 360 degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system, ventilated seats and blind spot camera are a godsend on any car. You have to see it in action to believe it. And none of these were available in the creta. Coming to the carens, the biggest plus point was cost. But the interiors and general quality of the interiors were quite poor. Never bought the Alcazar not saw it as a 7 seater. Always had the last seats folded down. So what you actually get is a more well equipped, safer and bigger booted creta for a few lakhs more. CretaS/SE++ if u will.
Thanks. Very informative. Keep up the great work. One question. This DCT, is it wet or dry?
I was coming back from the airport in an Alcazar and I was sitting on the second row. I missed the first half of a Formula One match, so I was watching the second half on my iPad while travelling. I had placed the iPad on the picnic tray, yes, it was super convenient for me then. That was the only time when I used it in the three years of my family owning that vehicle.
Thanks for sharing @rhitamdutta1996
I think it would help if you advise your viewers to view at 1.25 / 1.5 speed, I think they will save time without loosing any information.
Thanks for helping out!
Shumi at 22:05 is so amused with himself that Kartikeya actually even answered that absolutely lunatic of a question. What fun is being had!
😄😁
While folks may be against or call GNCAP & BNCAP as marketing gimmick, it at least puts the pressure on manufacturers to build a better car better than they have been manufacturing, especially the likes of Maruti, Hyundai, Kia. While I understand that a 5 star rated car is not going to save us from completely from fatal accidents, it certainly will be better in minor scenarios. What I really don't like about Hyundai and Kia is that they build 5 star or better built cars for markets outside India and why can't they do it for one of their biggest market?
Probably cost controlling and mileage, As Indians are more focused on these two things... I repeat not everyone ❤
guys can we please ask Hyundai to bring the full fat i20n to india
😍
Lmao who will buy the 25 lakh rupees Hatchback in India 😂
@@Adwatism Exactly. If people were actually ready to pay for an expensive hatchback, then we'd probably have the hatchback civic, global Swift, Polo etc on sale in India.
@@Adwatism people who understand that the n division of Hyundai was led by Albert beirmann tye legendary chassis engineer behind almost all bmws uptill the f90 m5
Those people who value driving engagement over stupid gimmicks will happily pay 25 lakhs rs or even more for thaat nurburring tuned chassis and Albert beirmanns chassis expertise
@@atharvaatre3273how many people would that be? 50? 100? It doesn't happen because it's an incredibly niche market, so much so it's just not worth it for most car manufacturers.
That Zen Estilo comment was a personal attack 😂😂!!
We had one from 2013 Jan for about 11-12 years, ran just 40k km. Loved it to bits despite the shortcomings. It had power mirrors, rear defogger, rear wiper, fog lamps, power windows, and we got it mew for about 4.10 lakhs after some solid discount. This was the facelifted estilo. It was lying nearly unused for 4-5 years after which we had to sell it. For all its obvious shortcomings, I somehow liked it.
A small trivia, the Zen Estilo review in Autocar RUclips channel was the first time I saw Karthikeya review cars, and have been a follower since. (Sadly didnt watch the review before the purchase 😅😅)
P.S. given we've sold it, can I remain subbed? 😂😂
Bwahahahahhaa! You’ve earned it! Thanks for the laugh!
Forgot cars, people are using phones while on 2 wheelers and with kid sitting back😢.
I've seen them change the reels while moving. That's very troubling to me.
@@AmP_BYD how people become so irresponsible?
Then they blame other drivers
@@ShriramRane0490 now install dashcam on 2 wheelers too

Simple and on point. So I'll try to do the same with my comment. Great work altogether, summary rating: 9/10 - you missed the plastic tailgate, looking forward to the next one!
Hullo Deepak! Thanks!
12:33 I have a third party one installed. Its pretty useful on road trips as it accomodates a lot of stuff we carry for my one year old.
Heya AM! Good to know.
@@AnirudhMaira Wow, I thought it's just improbable to get them installed. Can you share a picture if you don't mind? Coz That's something important for my needs and Want to see if That makes me not buy the Signature version 😅
I don't think 20mm of extra wheelbase will make much of a difference in terms of interior space.
I have 3 questions, 2 of them I'm posting here -
1. In context to new swift, new creta, and now alcazar, when can be a car called new model instead of facelift?
2. What exactly do you mean by platform and platform sharing and how it's different from rebadging?
Sir .. beautiful video...i am confused between hycross gx(o) 8seater - alcazar 2024 petrol signature 7seater top end - thaar roxx petrol 2wd petrol ax7 top end...whch is ur suggestion...all my family member height is max 5 ft 4 inches and lesser..i prefer 7 seater and thaar roxx is added only due to that child hood Passion..alcazar gives all features which i luv...hycross is super spavious n best ride quality than alcazar i think...plz advice..also does Toyota dealership provides after sale drl fitment in Hycross gx o
I am sure not the first one to say - Both of you deliver the details, insights and every bit so calmly with subtle hits to sarcasm, witty smiles. Love to spend 45-50 min everytime there is a new video.. Someone commented below about Coldplay, I would say similar but Diljit concert.. :)

Alrighty! Thanks for sharing S! Stay subbed okay. ❤️
@@motorinc 😅
Really interesting format of review, initially I wasn’t very forthcoming but I saw the entire video and felt happy about the genuine comparison and transparency which has made me like the video. I wish if you could add on to videos and convert them into playlist by trying the other model - manual petrol bench seats etc; which will enhance the review and make it very comprehensive- will definitely make me like the video and channel more
Thanks for the suggestion and the feedback @ackeeshjames, these aren't out full reviews on the products. Just first drive impressions, once we get the vehicle from the manufacturers again we'll be covering it in a separate video.
Its always amazing to watch and listen to how in detail kartik studies any vehicle, discussing every small detail.. AND shumi- i dont know how you do perfect summery everytime without missing any point..! Brilliant!!
Thank you for joining us @omkarmit
Common man you mean Pune or Mumbai don't have car cafes, coz Delhi NCR has which don't offer you the sitting, but then they can offer you parking somewhere in that vicinity and the server from the cafe would serve you in your car, so now you the reason why you need picnic seats, honestly, I love it.
Thanks for sharing your POV LG!
What is hyundai doing. They have not given diesel variant to any automobile journalist for reviewing. Not a single video of diesel variant is available on RUclips
It will drive the same as the old one so why even bother??
They wouldn’t want to showcase the differences, maybe.
5 on 5 for the quick summary Shumi. Sunday's always chilled out with #MotorIncFirst episodes. Kudos to Hyundai and Kia though for whatever they are coming out with. They have definitely upped the quality and sophistication game in the Indian Car market. People look out for small things now.
Lovely episode again. Always look forward for your videos all week. Just a breezy conversation, almost feels like therapy to listen to :)
But, Might have to disagree on the seating as I'm 5'8 and there was no way I could even sit for more than short rides of 10 - 15 minutes if the middle row is set to me conservative space to the first row.
Thanks for sharing @sricharanboddupalli9418
For the first few mins the "ok" from Shumi reminded me of Ranveer from TRS😅😅
and how could K not laught at "Somersault to the back seat"😂😂
Practise!
@@motorinc achhaa😅
13:00
The Innova Hycross does the cup holders much more intuitively, They are on a panel that you can fold up between the captain seats. Locks into place, closer to your reach, and holds weight really good.
Works, right!?
Nice summary shumi.. Do you rehearse this before hand or is it all in one go?
It’s reflex!
Is it by choice that Kartik and Shumi are wearing a brown top/pants and sitting on a black couch representating Alcazar interiors? I just love the aesthetics of Motorinc videos! Its like everytime it sets a color tone in my brain at the start of the video and keeps it steady througout ❤
Hey Aditya! Well spotted! 🤣
Great video and analysis as always.
How was the ride over broken roads?
Controlled. But the 18s can feel a bit crash every now and then.
@@motorinc hopefully not a deal breaker?
Alcazar or Harrier?? Please suggest
Could you guys do a video on the MG Hector? Cuz you guys did on harrier, Compass,Creta,Seltos and the MG Hector/Hector Plus is the only one left from this group ... Ik it's not what most people want but it's just a suggestion
Hey Harsh, noted. We’ve been wanting to get our hands on it too n
I still think spare wheels are a necessity in India no matter how much the roads "improve".
I had mentioned this incident on another MotorInc video and I think I must bring it up again...
Back in 2022 in Goa I was returning home around midnight. I was driving an XUV on one of the new concrete roads that had just opened up in Siridão-Bambolim. I was suddenly in a situation where the vehicle lost control, veered towards the island and was brought to a halt on the fast lane of the highway. I stepped out to see that the driver's side ORVM was broken but the rest of the vehicle was perfect, until I noticed that both the tyres on the driver's side were completely flat. While waiting for RSA and family members to reach the accident spot I traced my path back along the same highway and say a rod sticking out of an expansion joint about 200-300 meters away from where the XUV came to a halt.
I understand that a single spare wheel wouldn't make any difference in such a scenario but in case of a single flat tyre it can be helpful to reach somewhere safely. However, if our roads are made hastily without thorough tests or finesse then it's pointless trying to adapt to these so called 'standards' and hence be prepared for the worst no matter what.
It's a similar situation with automatic scooters losing the kick-starter when batteries or electrical & electronic systems by the manufacturers aren't that reliable.
Those are the nightmares we have to deal with. 🤦
A comprehensive review as always. Could you consider dropping a review about Hyundai venue adventure ?
Suggestion of Having checked with 6ft people sitting in all 3 rows in a single line is super way to check the comfort level of the vehicle 👌👌👌
Sir 🎉
Sir should we buy Alcazar or Carens.
After a lot of arguments in our family,
My father had booked a zen estilo and till this day we are still against this.
Me and my sister wanted to get a Figo, but estilo being from maruti, got a green ticket for our house
How are you liking it, if your father still has it @raghavjoshi3146 😅
Oh the Rayta hill stretch is super amazing!! I went to that road on suggestion by a good friend, took my new at that time i20 Nline and had a super fun day !
I’ve booked the new Alcazar with captain seats. I see the car as a premium SUV with two rows (a spacious second row). I will have the third row always folded = A great boot space. When you consider Alcazar as a two row luxury SUV, it is in a league of its own. For example: Creta, Taigun, and Kushaq are too common and not so luxurious, and Tucson, Tiguan and Kodiaq are on a higher price point nearing 40L.
so if my budget is 20 Lakhs On road which car will be the best 7 seater for me with an smooth engine and reliability. Btw an amazing video as always , kudos to kartik and shumi
Hi I am a college student. I am starting my two wheeler journey and need something for weekend rides and my daily home to college commutes. Should I consider a pulsar n250? Or any other choices you guys would suggest :>
Good video n overall feedback of this car. They say the Roof rails r functional. For Diesel, Yes. But Would it be functional for Petrol variant also which has sunroof?
What would be the actual mileage in CITY traffic for Petrol considering the petrol is same as creta with some added power, not sure if it will go beyond 8km/l similar to creta petrol AT.
If I add spare tyre in Diesel, how much would be the mileage for Diesel variant?
With added weight, can we say it could have more strength (imagining approx 3.5 ncap )😊
Do you guys suggest listening to music while driving or riding?
Driving, yes. Not blaring. Riding, no.
Sir .. beautiful video...i am confused between hycross gx(o) 8seater - alcazar 2024 petrol signature 7seater top end - thaar roxx petrol 2wd petrol ax7 top end...whch is ur suggestion...all my family member height is max 5 ft 4 inches

Hello!!
Even 2 wheelers I see when they are on long commute watch movies on their phones mounted on their bikes. Same with Rickshaws and 4 wheelers. Split screen with Google maps and RUclips on the other.
They are missing out on life and scenic experiences
PS: Didn't realise that the comment was kinda dark 😳
KP! 😂
As Shumi puts it, Darwins theory will eventually have its way. 😂
Jokes aside, watching movies on a two wheeler is something that should lead to anywhere between suspension of license to some jailtime.
@@MrSMK21agreed
I’m using the Carens Prestige manual, it has black cloth seats and the roominess is same as top model. Oh yes, the comfort of the Carens do trump Alcazar everyday.
Can the Alcazar captain seat be swapped with Carens driver seat as the driver seat of Carens does not have enough underthigh support is very less?
Thanks B! Glad to get your first hand insight!
While seating at a tyre shop for replacement a Carnival owner shared this that the vehicle eats up rear tyres in every 10-15k KMs which is a super bad thing not being discussed (if true on scale).
7 seat vehicles in India are not very practical, except Innova and Safari where even adults (till 5 ft 8 inch) can sit in the back and do long distance.
Update: it was Carnival, not Carens
Thanks PK, we’ll keep an eye out for that. Haven’t heard of it yet.
@@motorinc hey thanks. This input gives birth to my question 😅 - alcazar signature automatic 6s or GV strong hybrid? Also the xuv700 has a 6 seater now (again diesel has double mileage than petrol in Xuv700)
I am in market for a new car. If i ever buy this one, first thing I'm doing is downgrading to 16 inch wheels ! Tired of brittle ride quality in my honda city with 16 inchers. Low profile tires are just not suitable for our roads.
All the best for the next MrN!
The Summary by Shumi was like a threaded monolog, a full on all in Extempore 🙆🙆❤️
And the word selection to top it all 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Awesome! Thanks for that MM!
Do you think that having a 5 seater version of this with 2nd row set a slightly farther back and get a car much suited to chauffeur driven buyers. With immense boot. Massager recliner backseats could be an option as well, I guess this would be a better utilisation of the extended wheelbase than making seats for children which you don't like.
Indeed @atharvaelhankar but do you think people would be willing to buy what would then be an elongated Creta?
how does the MG Hector fare against the Alcazar or even the Thar Roxx, the xuv700?
Carens is based on the cheaper K1 platform shared by Sonet/Venue
Alcaraz is based on the more expensive K2 platform shared by Creta/Seltos
That's why Carens is cheaper than Alcazar
K1 is i10 platform
All other cars from i20 to Alcazars use K2 platform
@@MohammedSawad No, i10, Santro, Sonet, Venue and Carens use K1.
Well let you guys decide. 😁

A little bit of context for why the picnic tables are present. Ususally you have the product planning team list out a bunch of features that must be present in the vehicle for launch. Then you have the costing team come in & give their 2 cents. Then there is a back & forth between them which results in what are basically hard features that must be part of the vehicle brochure. The rest is upto the design & PD team to get it to work in the vehicle. And this is where you get some disconnect on how it is advertised & how it actually works & perceived in the customer's hands. This is of course a parallel to seemingly useless features in cars you see nowadays.
Thanks for sharing @nomustacheguy5429! What do you see picnic trays as? Useful or useless?
@@motorinc Useful! But depends on how it is designed. I've seen instances during family road trips where having it would've definitely helped. Safety first, of course.
Apart from the weight, I think the Diesel misses out on the sunroof so as to price it at par with the Turbo Petrol. Top variants are identically priced !!
Or more makkhan? 😋
Saw this in the showroom. I liked it from a 5+zero perspective. Big Boot. Almost Perfect family bootspace.(it is never enough)
5+0 or 4+0?
@@motorinc 5+0. 4+0 is too limiting.
Also, kids in the third row won't sit still....and with that little room...be ready for the unforseen broken second row seats..

Say what!!!
Often heard it referred to as 5 + 2, but it’s actually more like 4 + 2, or just 4 with a spacious boot. That said, it might make more sense to go for a base model Innova Crysta instead of the Alcazar. Plus, the Innova with captain seats has an option where you can keep the middle seat, which adds to comfort as Shumi mentioned.😄
Have you seen that feature as well? Have you used it? 😁
Yes, it’s a very powerful option for family trips.
I believe people choose captain seat versions for their comfort and mainly for aesthetic appeal. A 7-seater car with captain seats looks great. Additionally, we can add a custom seat between the captain seats to accommodate an extra person, making it even more fun.(But yes, we miss the seat belt)😄@@motorinc
Dude Karthik! You’ve got to tell us where you get your clothes from. You’ve both got superb taste when it comes to what you wear.
Thanks Shane! These guys need to spill it!
Yes, you are right innova is proper MPV which has massuve success in our country. I respect that car, but the only alternative it had was lately launched Marazzo. These both are great for our indians roads, marazzo could have eaten up the sales of crysta but rhe brand name and engine option made it dead. Anyway i am happy with my Marazzo 😊
The sound insulation (or the lack of it) could be because of weight saving they had to do?
Surely we’re left with less room. Let’s see how Kia manage with the Carens update.
I had estilo 2009 petrol lpg in my family long back, we bought it used for 1.35 handling was weird and that car had barely any power but lot of space n milege, after sometime my brother had a small accident in it fortunately he was all good but not the car... front suspension structure got damaged we tried to repair it but it made it worst, it got damaged more than it looks After repair handling for worst every time I try to go in corner it feels like it was about to topple with no steering feedback and brakes but after driving it for 2 years we sold it for 1.23😂 I was so happy finally we got rid of that shit.
Best part is we learned lot of things by that repair, we came to know the best mechanics in my city, who and how different things get repaired in a car. And what cannot be repaired if damaged
21:30 Need an entire video on roof racks. I own a Skoda Kushaq and the roof rails allow a few attachments. However, I have no clue about the regulations or the accessories and their feasibility.
Heya WS! Thanks! We’ll dig around a bit.
Disappointed that at 5:25 ,harrier and safari name didn't come up...
Not a tata fanboy but having seen all 3 of the cars,safari is the best SUV if we r talking about highway rides and long 800 900 km rides ..I think it comes just next to innova crysta in terms of comfort and way ahead of XUV 700 and overhyped Scorpio N..
Thanks for the feedback SR!
As always great summary
The turbo engine has lag? Or not was not spoken about - MG Hector with similar size engine is terrible.
No mention on mileage
No mention if the digital tech is good or just stuffed in and far too much to use practically on daily runs
The point of 7 seater seating position is a fantastic value added comment whiz no one else has made before
Can we remove the flimsy tray and get a smarter accessory on Amazon ?
This podcast has lesser banter and jokes than previous ones
Hey Ameya,
Turbo-lag is not an issue with this engine. We did discuss that it’s easy to drive. You can’t compare with Hector because of size and weight. See if you can find the kerb weight of the Hector. That in itself is a clue. 😆
And thanks for all your feedback.
what is the statewise breakdown for the roof racks legality? PS - Driving in India is not for beginners.
Hey BM! We had one of the viewers comment - he works for a company that makes rooftop boxes - they made an RTI and turns out there’s no limitation. We have asked him for links.
@@motorinc outstanding, finally some clarity
Now i understand the thumbnail 5 + 2, you guys actually give away so much in the thumbnails. Good work 😂
😄
Correct me if I am wrong I believe the pre-facelift Alcazar never came with the 1.4 GDI it was launched with the new 1.5 GDI after the 2.0 . The 1.5 GDI came in with the Alcazar and the interim updated seltos .
They meant 1.4 gdi which was in hyundai,kia cars...not specifically meant alcazar
👍🏽
Question for you guys, won't a supercharger makes more sense than turbo petrol for India?
Superchargers increase complexity, cost and sap power since they are driven directly from the crankshaft. Whereas a turbo uses waste energy. Supers generally good for larger engines. Hope that helps!
Does the size of the car like Carens, xuv 700, Scorpio N and the it’s body movements on long trip can cause uneasiness & nausea to back seat (middle and 3rd row)? My family never complained of these issues in my last hatchback while they are doing it for the Carens.
Aha! Yes - the Carens is third row can definitely feel bouncy. And, that’s the one advantage the Alcazar has over the Carens.
This channel is my therapy ❤

Hi guys, although I love your hour-long reviews, I don't always have the luxury to spend an hour on a vehicle review. It would be great if you could also create 10-15 minute review videos.
Thank you for the suggestion @SatyprakashMohapatra, you can choose to watch it as long as you can at a time and then come back to the episode if you prefer. Or, use the chapters to watch the Quick Summary which is a part of almost all the episodes to just get the gist of it. 😊
Which colour do you think looks the best on the Alcazar?
I am looking for a 7 seater SUV that looks good and could potentially run for 10-15 years.
I CAN spend on the Fortuner lower variants because tbh it does look quite badass IMO and it's mega reliable...but the interior is soooo...bad?
The other options are Safari and XUv700. I much much much prefer the Safari in terms of everything but worry a bit about the reliability(and from what I understand post sales stuff is slightly better with Mahindra but none are close to Toyota).
Like I know Fortuner IS a good choice for looks and reliability but a part of me will feel a bit dumb for spending 45L for that interior lol. And I know the interiors can be updated afterwards but would installing more speakers and a 12 inch touchscreen affect the long term reliability of the Fortuner (I don't know how modifying cars works tbh)? 🤔
Basically I am confused between Tata Safari Top model and Fortuner lower variant. Save 15-20 lakhs and get way better interior and a very good looking exterior but C- reliability or go for badass exterior, bad interior and A++ reliability?
One calculation could be like this:
Do you think that one could need to spend 10+L on a Top Model Tata Safari in order to maintain it for 10 years? Would that be a worst case scenario or not very uncommon for Tata?
Why not consider the Innova HyCross @Avi0097? You might be surprised with how it feels to drive. Please let us know if you have test drove it already.
I'm sure the other car Shumi mentioned is the MG Windsor that Karthikeya drove!😉🤪
Coming to the picnic trey, in luxury cars like the BMW 7 series, Audi A8 & the Mercedes Benz S-class, they say the picnic trey is there as a means to keep a laptop for the business running person setting in backseat. I like the idea of it in the luxury cars as they make it more sturdy & has soft closure metal hinges.
Hullo AS! Let’s see… let’s see…
@@motorinc or maybe the Tata Curv ICE version?🙄
I returned after a detour to Karti's Estilo review 😅.

Respected Sir, I am bit confused among safari diesel,XUV700 Diesel , Byd emax7 & hycross Innova hybrid, I can manage budget but want to take best value at best price

Hi PK, we will have to assume you will cover a lot of kilometres for the hybrid and diesel to make sense.
Our recommendation is the 1) Hycross Hybrid 2) XUV700 .
