The Hyundai Bayon is expected to be priced between 9 lakh and 14 lakh rupees. In Hyundai's Indian lineup, it will be positioned in the mid-size SUV segment between the Venue and the Creta, serving as a lower-tier alternative to the more premium Creta.
The Bayon is likely to feature a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with manual and CVT gearbox options. It is also expected to be Hyundai's first car longer than 4 meters to offer a factory-fitted CNG powertrain option.
Once launched, the Hyundai Bayon will compete against mid-size SUVs such as the Maruti Victoris, MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun, Honda Elevate, and Skoda Kushaq.
