Hyundai Alcazar Vs Mahindra XUV 500

In India, the Hyundai Alcazar SUV made its world debut. The SUV will be available in six and seven-seat configurations, with two engine choices (petrol and diesel). In the coming weeks, the model is expected to reach showrooms. It will compete 

against the MG Hector Plus, Mahindra XUV500, and the latest Tata Safari once it is released. Here’s a fast engine specs comparison between the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV 500. 

1.Petrol Engine 

— The new Hyundai 7-seater SUV is a larger and more premium Creta. Its platform and other design elements and components are shared with its 5-seater sibling. Alcazar, on the other hand, has a different engine configuration than the Creta. The automaker has announced that its latest three-row SUV will be powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder petrol engine with 152 horsepower and 192Nm of torque. It’s the same engine that powers the Elantra sedan and the Tucson SUV. The petrol version is said to go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in under ten seconds. 

— The current generation Mahindra XUV500 doesn’t come with a petrol engine. The SUV will soon enter into its next generation with comprehensive design and feature upgrades along with a new and more powerful engine setup. The 2021 XUV500 is reported to use a 190bhp, 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbo petrol motor that will make it the most powerful petrol SUV in its segment. 

2.Diesel Engine : 

— A 1.5L turbo engine from the Hyundai Creta will be used in the diesel variant of the Hyundai Alcazar. The oil burner, on the other hand, would be calibrated to generate more power. The Creta diesel produces 113bhp and torque of 250Nm. Eco, City, and Sport will be the three driving modes available on the SUV.

— The XUV500 employs a 2.2L diesel engine under the hood. The oil burner generates a peak power of 155bhp and 360Nm of torque. Compared to Alcazar diesel, the XUV500 is more powerful. Its next-generation model will receive a more powerful 180bhp, 2.2L mHawk turbo engine. 

3.Gearbox Options
