Should You Buy Hyundai Alcazar Petrol Or Diesel?
With the Hyundai Alcazar, choosing between the turbo petrol and turbo diesel variants may look simple at first. However, there are many factors to consider if you are in the market for the Hyundai Alcazar. With a kilometre-to-breakeven figure of under 85,000km, we would recommend the Alcazar turbo diesel only if you are considering long-term ownership and plan to drive the 3-row SUV for at least 1 lakh kilometres. If your requirements do not meet either of these conditions, then buy the Alcazar turbo petrol manual. However, it is important to note that the real world mileage of the turbo petrol manual powertrain will largely depend on your driving style as turbo petrol engines are sensitive to your right foot and traffic conditions.
If you are considering the Hyundai Alcazar with an automatic transmission, then we’d recommend the Alcazar turbo diesel automatic despite its greater kilometre-to-break even figure of 1.41 lakh to 2.15 lakh kilometres. DCT type of automatics, like the one found in the Alcazar turbo petrol automatic, are yet to establish themselves as long-term reliable workhorses in Indian climatic and driving conditions. Hence, we’d steer clear of the Alcazar turbo petrol since both the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine as well as the DCT transmission are new in the market and are yet to prove themselves as reliable workhorses. On the other hand, the Alcazar turbo diesel combined with the TC automatic transmission has been around for years and this combination has proven itself to be reliable in Indian traffic conditions. That said, if you do not plan on owning the Hyundai Alcazar for a long term and want to experience the new turbo petrol-DCT combination, then by all means, go for the Hyundai Alcazar turbo petrol automatic.
