Hyundai Alcazar VS Toyota Innova Crysta Comparison Verdict
Launched at a starting price of Rs 16.3 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hyundai Alcazar is only slightly more affordable than the Innova Crysta, which retails at a starting price of Rs 16.53 lakh (ex-showroom). But the difference widens as you go up the variant lineup. The top-end Alcazar has been priced at Rs 19.99 lakh, while the top-spec Innova costs more than Rs 24 lakh. So, in terms of pricing, the Creta-based 7-seater has a clear edge. It even offers more features and higher mileage. However, the Crysta is well-known for its reliability, retains its value quite well and even offers a better ride. So, if you’re on a budget and want your new car to have more features and higher mileage, the Alcazar is the one for you. Else, the Crysta is a proven choice you can’t go wrong with. Whatever the case, do have a test drive of both and decided accordingly.
