Honda Elevate Facelift Bookings Open At Rs 21,000: The One Thing It Still Will Not Get

October 2, 2026

# Hyundai Lounge Edition Launched: The Alcazar Now Costs Rs 90,000 More With Two Fewer Seats The Hyundai Lounge Edition has arrived across the Creta, Creta Electric and Alcazar, and most of the coverage is leading with the 11.6 inch screen bolted to the back of the front seats. Fair enough. But the number worth pausing on sits in the Alcazar's price list. The Alcazar Lounge Edition costs Rs 21.81 lakh, ex-showroom. That is Rs 71,000 more than the six seat Signature it is based on, and Rs 90,000 more than the seven seat Signature. And the Lounge Edition has five seats. Hyundai is charging you almost a lakh extra to take the third row out of a three row SUV. That sounds absurd until you understand why it might be the smartest thing in this entire launch. ## Hyundai Lounge Edition price, model by model The Hyundai Lounge Edition is a features and styling package applied to the top trim of each SUV. Nothing mechanical changes anywhere in the range. | Creta Lounge Edition | Price, ex-showroom | | --- | --- | | 1.5 petrol iVT | Rs 19.22 lakh | | 1.5 petrol iVT, dual tone | Rs 19.37 lakh | | 1.5 diesel AT | Rs 20.31 lakh | | 1.5 diesel AT, dual tone | Rs 20.46 lakh | | Alcazar and Creta Electric | Price, ex-showroom | | --- | --- | | Alcazar Lounge, 1.5 diesel AT | Rs 21.81 lakh | | Alcazar Lounge, dual tone | Rs 21.96 lakh | | Creta Electric Lounge | From Rs 24.34 lakh | | Creta Electric Lounge, top configuration | Rs 25.22 lakh | Each Hyundai Lounge Edition sits on a specific donor trim. The Creta version is built on the King trim and comes only with automatics, either the 1.5 litre MPi petrol with the iVT or the 1.5 litre CRDi diesel with a torque converter. The Alcazar Lounge is based on the Signature trim and is diesel automatic only. The Creta Electric Lounge uses the Excellence Long Range variant with the 51.4 kWh battery, and can be had with or without the home charger. The premiums tell you what Hyundai thinks each Hyundai Lounge Edition package is worth. The Creta Lounge asks Rs 53,000 over the equivalent King variant, the same on both powertrains. The Creta Electric Lounge asks Rs 67,000 over the Excellence Long Range. The Alcazar asks Rs 71,000 over the six seater and Rs 90,000 over the seven seater. Every figure above is ex-showroom. On road prices will land considerably higher once road tax, registration and insurance are added, and by how much depends heavily on your state, so treat these as the base of the calculation rather than the total. ## What the money buys The centrepiece of every Hyundai Lounge Edition is a 29.46 cm, or 11.6 inch, rear seat entertainment screen. This is not a mirrored display for the front infotainment. It runs OTT video streaming, gaming and apps through a certified app store, and supports phone mirroring on top. Audio runs through the existing eight speaker Bose system with a front centre speaker and a subwoofer. Inside, the Hyundai Lounge Edition adds an all black dashboard with silver inserts on the air conditioning vents, Moonwhite ambient lighting, a new seat upholstery pattern and rear headrest cushions with Lounge branding. Outside, every Hyundai Lounge Edition gets a new Golden Bronze paint option and a blacked out treatment covering the front and rear skid plates, side sill garnish, rear spoiler, roof rails, C-pillar garnish and mirrors. The Creta and Alcazar get 18 inch matte black alloys, the Creta Electric 17 inch black aero wheels. Two models get something extra. The Alcazar Lounge adds a voice enabled smart panoramic sunroof alongside its five seat layout. The Creta Electric Lounge adds a factory fitted dashcam and a rear wireless charger. ## Why does this matter? Here is the gap between the launch messaging and the fuller picture. Hyundai is presenting the Hyundai Lounge Edition as a rear seat entertainment package. The screen is the hero of every press image. But the screen is available on all three SUVs, which makes it the least interesting thing here. The Alcazar's missing third row is the actual news. Think about the third row in a compact three row SUV. It eats boot capacity permanently in exchange for seating that adults generally find cramped and that many owners use only occasionally. For a buyer drawn to the Alcazar's larger footprint, road presence and second row space rather than its seat count, that trade has never been a good one. Hyundai has now built exactly that car and priced it accordingly. The Alcazar Hyundai Lounge Edition is the result. Removing the third row frees genuine luggage space, and the second row becomes the focus rather than a waypoint. Add the panoramic sunroof, the rear screen and the ambient lighting, and the Alcazar Lounge is aimed squarely at the buyer who sits in the back, or who has a family of four and wants space rather than seat count. That is a meaningful read of the Indian market. The rear seat focused buyer, whether chauffeur driven or simply someone whose family lives in the back, has generally had to look at more expensive SUVs for this kind of package. Hyundai is now serving that customer at Rs 21.81 lakh, ex-showroom, in a familiar badge. The Rs 90,000 premium over the seven seater is not really a charge for removing seats. It is the price of the equipment, and the seat deletion is what makes the equipment make sense. There is a second, less comfortable consequence of the Hyundai Lounge Edition strategy. A five seat Alcazar competes directly with Hyundai's own Creta. The Creta Lounge Edition costs Rs 19.22 lakh with the same rear screen, the same interior treatment and the same blacked out styling. Spend Rs 2.59 lakh more and you get a longer car with more rear legroom, more boot space and the sunroof, but the same number of seats and the same basic experience. Hyundai has created a genuine internal decision for buyers, and how that plays out will be interesting to watch in the monthly numbers. ## The equipment question nobody is asking Worth being clear about what the Hyundai Lounge Edition does not change. There is no mechanical revision anywhere. The 1.5 litre petrol and diesel engines carry over exactly as they are, the Creta Electric keeps its 51.4 kWh battery and long range tune, and suspension, brakes and steering are untouched across all three. Every Hyundai Lounge Edition also sits on a top trim, which means the safety and driver assistance equipment is whatever those trims already carried. Nothing has been added on that front, and nothing has been taken away. If you were hoping a premium edition might bring extra active safety hardware down the range, this is not that launch. For the money, the rear screen is a substantial piece of kit rather than a token. An 11.6 inch display with independent app and streaming capability is genuinely useful on long drives with children, and it is the sort of feature that has until recently belonged to cars costing considerably more. Whether it is worth Rs 53,000 on a Creta depends entirely on how often your back seat is occupied. ## Quick Pros and Cons **Pros** - Five seat Alcazar finally answers buyers who wanted space over seat count - Genuinely capable 11.6 inch rear screen with streaming, gaming and app support - Paired with the existing eight speaker Bose system rather than a cheaper setup - New Golden Bronze paint and a well judged blacked out exterior treatment - Creta Electric Lounge adds a factory dashcam and rear wireless charger - Alcazar Lounge gains a voice enabled smart panoramic sunroof **Cons** - Rs 90,000 more than a seven seat Alcazar Signature, with two fewer seats - No mechanical, safety or driver assistance improvements anywhere - Restricted to the top trims and automatic powertrains only - The five seat Alcazar competes closely with Hyundai's own Creta Lounge - Creta Lounge Edition is not offered with a manual gearbox ## Frequently Asked Questions **1. What is the Hyundai Lounge Edition price?** The Creta Lounge Edition starts at Rs 19.22 lakh, the Alcazar Lounge Edition at Rs 21.81 lakh and the Creta Electric Lounge Edition at Rs 24.34 lakh. The range tops out at Rs 25.22 lakh, all ex-showroom. **2. Why does the Alcazar Lounge Edition have only five seats?** Hyundai has removed the third row to prioritise second row space and luggage capacity. The regular Alcazar continues to be offered in six and seven seat layouts, so the five seat configuration is exclusive to the Lounge Edition. **3. How much more does the Lounge Edition cost?** The Creta Lounge is Rs 53,000 above the equivalent King variant, the Creta Electric Lounge is Rs 67,000 above the Excellence Long Range, and the Alcazar Lounge is Rs 71,000 above the six seat Signature or Rs 90,000 above the seven seat Signature. **4. What is the rear seat entertainment system?** An 11.6 inch screen for second row passengers that supports OTT video streaming, gaming, phone mirroring and apps through a certified app store. It works with the existing eight speaker Bose audio system. **5. Which engines are offered?** The Creta Lounge gets the 1.5 litre petrol with iVT or the 1.5 litre diesel automatic. The Alcazar Lounge is diesel automatic only. The Creta Electric Lounge uses the 51.4 kWh Excellence Long Range powertrain. **6. Is there any performance change?** No. Every Hyundai Lounge Edition carries over its powertrain unchanged from the donor variant, with no revisions to suspension, brakes or steering. **7. What colour options are there?** A new Golden Bronze shade joins the palette on every Hyundai Lounge Edition, with the existing colours continuing. Dual tone versions are offered at a premium of roughly Rs 15,000. ## Motors77 Verdict The Hyundai Lounge Edition is being sold as a screen, and it should be sold as a seat count. The 11.6 inch rear display is good, and putting real streaming and app capability in the second row of a Rs 19 lakh SUV is a genuine step forward. But it appears on all three models, which makes it a feature rather than a story. The story is that Hyundai looked at its three row SUV, concluded that a meaningful chunk of buyers never wanted the third row, and built them a version without it. That is a confident piece of product thinking. The five seat Alcazar Lounge occupies a space above the Creta Lounge that nothing else in the range covers, pairing a larger body and more generous rear quarters with a panoramic sunroof and a boot no longer compromised by folded seats. It lands at Rs 21.81 lakh, ex-showroom, in a market where that kind of rear seat focus usually costs more. If Hyundai has read demand correctly, this variant could outperform expectations. The reservations are straightforward. Paying Rs 90,000 above a seven seat Alcazar to receive five seats will look strange on a showroom board no matter how sound the logic underneath, and Hyundai will need its salespeople to explain the equipment rather than the arithmetic. There is no mechanical or safety upgrade to soften the premium. And the Creta Lounge sitting Rs 2.59 lakh below with much the same cabin experience means Hyundai is now competing with itself in a way it will have to manage. If your back seat is regularly occupied, the Hyundai Lounge Edition makes a strong case, and the Alcazar version makes the strongest one. If it is not, you are paying a considerable premium for a screen nobody will watch. --- ## RankMath SEO Block **Focus Keyword:** Hyundai Lounge Edition **SEO Title:** Hyundai Lounge Edition Launched: Creta, Creta Electric And Alcazar Prices, Features **Permalink/URL:** hyundai-lounge-edition-creta-alcazar-price-features **Meta Description:** Hyundai Lounge Edition launched for Creta, Creta Electric and Alcazar from Rs 19.22 lakh.
