The sleek L-shaped LED DRLs also function as turn indicators.

The profile of the Hyundai Bayon reveals the muscle of the SUV. The flared wheel arches have black cladding. The character lines are deep and prominent. The 17-inch alloy wheels have a petal-like design. The door handles are mounted in their conventional positions. At the back, the LED tail lamps follow the design of the DRLs up front. Connecting these tail lamps is a glossy black trim. There’s ‘BAYON’ lettering on the tailgate.

Inside, the Bayon packs dual 12.3-inch displays for the touchscreen infotainment system and the digital instrument cluster. There is wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity on board.

Its Level 2 ADAS suite comprises 23 driver assistance functions, including Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), High Beam Assist (HBA), and more.

Under the hood, the Hyundai Bayon is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. It generates a maximum power output of 115hp and 144Nm of torque. It can be mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or an iVT. The latter is only available from the HX5 trim onwards. It works in tandem with Dash Boost Mode, Sporty Drive Tech, and three other selectable drive modes (Eco, Normal, and Sport).

Mr Tarun Garg, Managing Director & CEO, Hyundai Motor India Limited, said, “The launch of Hyundai BAYON marks the beginning of Hyundai’s next golden product cycle in India. BAYON is far more than a new SUV; it is a symbol of our commitment to delivering intelligent, future-ready mobility solutions that resonate with the aspirations of Indian customers. Built around our philosophy of ‘Intelligence That Moves,’ BAYON brings together meaningful innovation, advanced safety, intuitive technology and modern design in a way that enhances everyday life.

As HMIL’s first SUV with an in-built Generative AI Voice Assistant and Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 Pro ADAS, BAYON represents a new benchmark for intelligent mobility. Manufactured in India, Hyundai BAYON will also be exported to more than 50 markets globally, reinforcing India’s growing role as a strategic manufacturing and export hub for Hyundai. We are confident that BAYON will strengthen Hyundai’s leadership in innovation and become a highly desirable choice for customers seeking a smarter, safer and more connected driving experience.”
