Hyundai Bayon India Launch: Bookings Open On Monday; Check Specifications Here

Hyundai is set to launch its new SUV, the Bayon, in India on October 26, with bookings now open on its official website and at authorized dealerships for ₹11,000. The specific pricing details have not been disclosed yet, but the launch event will feature the unveiling of detailed delivery schedules and variant-wise specifications. This addition to Hyundai's SUV lineup will broaden the brand's offerings in the Indian market and compete with Chinese automakers.

The Bayon is powered by a four-cylinder, 1.5-litre multi-point injection (MPi) petrol engine, producing 115 PS of maximum power and 143.8 Nm of torque. Customers will have the option to choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and an intelligent variable transmission (iVT). For enhanced performance, the automatic version will include Dash Boost Mode, designed to improve acceleration response during overtaking, and Sporty Drive Tech for a more responsive driving experience.

With more than six lakh vehicles equipped with the 1.5-litre MPi petrol engine sold in India since 2020, Hyundai aims to deliver a smooth and responsive driving experience to its customers. The new SUV will also feature paddle shifters and three selectable driving modes - Eco, Normal, and Sport - allowing drivers to customize their driving experience based on road conditions and personal preferences.

Hyundai Motor India's Managing Director and CEO, Tarun Garg, stated that the company has combined its established petrol engine with intelligent driving technologies to create a vehicle with a responsive driving experience. These features, including iVT, Dash Boost Mode, Sporty Drive Tech, and selectable driving modes, are designed to work together to increase driver confidence. The Bayon's full pricing structure and specifications are scheduled to be revealed during the launch event on October 26.
