Multiple test mule sightings of the Alcazar facelift have hinted at it getting unique styling tweaks that will separate it from the Creta. While the split headlamp design might remain similar, the grille and front bumper will be slightly different. In profile, the alloy wheels and side claddings get a new design. At the rear, it gets a completely new tailgate with a new-look tail-light that has a mix of vertical as well as horizontal elements.
