If you’re hunting a compact SUV that doesn’t skimp on safety tech, the Bayon’s launch date is a big deal. The model hits the Indian market on 26 October 2026 and starts at just over ₹9.3 lakh, making it one of the more affordable options in the segment.
The Bayon packs a 1.5‑litre MPi petrol engine that churns out 113.4 hp and 144 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a six‑speed manual or Hyundai’s Intelligent Variable Transmission, giving a mix of control and smoothness.
Safety is front and centre. Standard six airbags, electronic stability control and a host of sensors are bundled, while the Level‑2 Pro ADAS system delivers 23 driver‑assist functions, including lane‑following, forward‑collision avoidance and blind‑spot monitoring. The chassis is built on the Global K Enhanced Platform, with 69 % high‑strength steel for added rigidity.
Colour choices are a treat: ten exterior hues, from six flat shades like Titanium Black and Fiery Red to two matte finishes and a pair of dual‑tone combos. The variety lets buyers put a personal stamp on a car that already comes loaded with tech.
Bookings have opened with a ₹11,000 token, and the first deliveries are expected in major metros by November 2026. Keep an eye on the final trim‑level lineup, real‑world mileage figures and any after‑sales support plans that could sway the decision.
