Hyundai Bayon SUV Arrives in India Ahead of October 26 Launch
Hyundai's Bayon SUV has arrived at Indian dealerships ahead of its October 26, 2026 launch, with bookings open at Rs 11,000. Positioned between the Venue and Creta models, the Bayon features a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with manual or IVT automatic transmissions. It offers dual 12.3-inch digital displays, advanced AI-powered voice assistant, and over-the-air updates for multiple vehicle controllers.
