Hyundai Prepares India-Specific Bayon SUV with CNG Option and New Design
Hyundai is preparing to launch a new mid-size SUV in India, likely named Bayon, positioned between the Venue and Creta. The India-specific model, based on the global Bayon but with distinct styling, features a crossover-inspired design with split headlamps, roof rails, and a practical cabin. It is expected to offer a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a CNG option, marking Hyundai's first SUV above four metres with CNG in India. The interior may include a modern twin-screen dashboard and Hyundai's signature steering wheel design.
