Comparison Overview
Hyundai debuted the redesigned Alcazar last week, offering several improvements over the previous model. It still faces competition from the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Safari, and MG Hector Plus, among other three-row mid-size SUVs. The Safari is the only one of these four variants without a gasoline engine option.
This article compares the pricing and features of the Alcazar, XUV700, and Hector Plus petrol engines.
Engine specs: Alcazar, XUV700, Hector Plus
The Mahindra XUV700 has a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that produces 197 horsepower and 380 Nm of peak torque, easily leading the pack in power. It is therefore the strongest of the three. A 6-speed manual or automatic transmission is available for the XUV700. This model is a good fit for those seeking a three-row SUV with plenty of power and torque.
In contrast, the 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine in the MG Hector Plus produces 250 Nm and 141 horsepower. Its powertrain choices include a CVT automatic gearbox and a 6-speed manual. The Hector Plus has the lowest power output of the three, but it makes up for it with a moderate hybrid powertrain that uses less gasoline. This makes it a desirable choice for drivers who are interested in eco-friendly choices and are tech-savvy.
The 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine that powers the Hyundai Alcazar culminates in 158 horsepower and a maximum torque of 253 Nm. A 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox are the available gearbox combinations for this engine.
