The second-row knee space is slightly limited for tall people when you compare it with the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Harrier and Safari, Skoda Kushaq and the likes.<\/h2>\n

BHPian pms<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

I was using a Honda City V MT 2012 model and the itch to upgrade kicked in from last year. Honda ownership has been pretty stress-free, and the car served me well for 11 years. i-Vtec engine has been a gem and the vehicle has never let me down barring minor cosmetic niggles. I would have kept the City for some more time had there been one more driver in the family.<\/p>\n

Plan was to buy an SUV, an automatic for the ease of driving, getting in & out for all, better ground clearance to tackle the broken roads and lastly a good interior with some of the latest features. We are a family of 4 who do quite some long drives, especially to Kerala and use boot space to the max. Honda City has kept us very happy in this department and this too became one of our selection criteria.<\/p>\n

With this started our search for the one that fits our needs and wish list. It finally ended up in the Hyundai Alcazar. Went ahead with the Turbo Petrol variant as I found it fun to drive, powerful, refined, and feature-loaded with attractive interiors. On the downside I was prepared for bad mileage, but to my surprise it wasn\u2019t that bad, maybe I kept the expectation very low.<\/p>\n

Took delivery on 13th July and so far, it has run ~4400 Kms with two 1200 Kms long drive & rest within the city, mostly in B2B traffic.<\/p>\n
