The sports utility vehicle segment in India continues to expand as manufacturers identify new spaces. Buyers increasingly look for vehicles that bridge the gap between compact dimensions and premium technology offerings. Hyundai Motor India has stepped into this territory to capture that demand.
On Monday, October 26, 2026, the automaker officially launched the Hyundai Bayon at an introductory starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh. Positioned carefully between the Venue and the Creta, the new vehicle aims to attract buyers seeking a conventional petrol powertrain combined with an automatic transmission option. Customers can currently reserve the vehicle for an initial booking amount of Rs 11,000, with deliveries scheduled to begin during the festive season.
7 Variants And 1.5-Litre Engine Performance
The Hyundai Bayon arrives in seven distinct variants, starting from the entry-level HX2 and moving up through the HX3, HX3 Plus, HX5, HX6, HX8, and HX10 trims. Under the hood, the vehicle is powered exclusively by a four-cylinder, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated MPi petrol engine. This unit generates 115 PS of maximum power alongside 143.8 Nm of peak torque.
