The i20's rear seat comfort is a strong point, how does it stack up with hatchbacks and compact SUVs?

It is one of the hatchbacks in the segment and I'd say it is one of the best. It’s roomy, and the seat back is the right angle.

It's a mixed bag. Average sized adults will find that the headroom is good, but there is not much space for tall passengers.

The rear comfort of the new i20 is definitely improved compared to older i20 models. It’s not class leading, but it’s in there.
Is the Hyundai Alcazar an overpriced Creta with extra seats?
02 January 2025 07:10
It’s way more than just a Creta with extra seats. The Alcazar gets longer wheelbase, different suspension tuning and some unique features like the 360 degree camera. Plus, the third row, while not very capacious, makes a lot of sense for families.

Overpriced? Absolutely. Essentially, what you’re paying a hefty premium for is a stretched Creta with a cramped third row. It’s not that the extra features don’t justify the price jump, but it is simply that for the same money you can get a proper 7 seater like the Tata Safari.

It really depends on what your needs are. If you don’t need those extra seats all the time, and want a slightly more premium feel than the Creta, the Alcazar makes sense. If you're going to always use it as a 5 seater then the Creta is the sensible choice and you save some money too.

I’d say, as an Alcazar owner, it’s worth it. The feel is more upmarket with features like extra ventilated seats and wireless charging and the ride quality feels way better than that of the Creta. For small families that need occasional 7 seat capability but don’t want the full size SUV, it’s perfect.

Come on, it’s a marketing gimmick. Hyundai was riding on the success of Creta, and wanted to milk it further. The Alcazar is just a way to give more money for a car that is essentially the same with little changes. You’re buying more the Hyundai badge than anything else.
Is the Alcazar's 1.5L turbo petrol engine underpowered for a 7 seater?
02 January 2025 07:10
The 1.5L turbo feels plenty powerful and I’ve test driven the Alcazar. It has good torque at low end, which is what you need in city driving. It’s not a speed demon, sure, but for a family SUV it’s more than enough.
Is the Alcazar's 1.5L turbo petrol engine underpowered for a 7 seater?
02 January 2025 07:10
Underpowered is an understatement. Go uphill with a full load and you'll be wishing for more horses. Hyundai should have kept the 2.0L engine from the previous model. This is getting ridiculous: Downsizing trend.
Is the Alcazar's 1.5L turbo petrol engine underpowered for a 7 seater?
02 January 2025 07:10
It's all about expectations. If you come from a smaller car, you will find the Alcazar very powerful. If you’re accustomed to larger SUVs, or you regularly need to haul heavy loads, you may feel shortchanged. It is a compromise between having power and being efficient.
Is the Alcazar's 1.5L turbo petrol engine underpowered for a 7 seater?
02 January 2025 07:10
I can say as an Alcazar owner that the engine is fine for 90% of driving situations. But if you’re loaded down on the highways, you might wish for more power. After all, how often do you actually do that?
Is the Alcazar's 1.5L turbo petrol engine underpowered for a 7 seater?

It’s not just the power, it’s the tuning. The DCT gearbox isn't too kind with the turbo engine, and there's a bit of lag and jerky shifting. Probably a larger NA engine would drive smoother in regular day to day driving.
Will the 7e's potential as a 7 seater come at the expense of performance?
31 December 2024 10:51
7 seats in a performance EV? That's trying to do too much. It will surely reduce the range and flying characteristics. Mahindra should do 5 seats and go for maximum performance.
Will the 7e's potential as a 7 seater come at the expense of performance?

I disagree. It's way more practical for families with 7 seats. Not everyone wants to sacrifice performance for space. This could be a game-changer.

The real question here is how usable that third row is going to be. Basically, if it's cramped, it's not worth the performance trade off. The packaging is critical for Mahindra.

Electric powertrains are different, and you’re all forgetting it. With that much power, the extra weight might not negatively affect performance as much as you’d think.

I'm more worried about range. In an EV every extra kilo counts. A fully loaded 7-seater configuration could have a major impact on the range from something like 120 to under 60 miles.

It could actually be brilliant. Picture a 7 seater that can beat most 5 seater ICE SUVs. This would be unique to the market.

We'll see how they roll it out. Perhaps they will provide 5 and 7 seat versions to meet different requirements. Key here could be flexibility.
