The Hyundai Bayon price in India ranges from ₹10 lakh to ₹16 lakh (ex-showroom), according to a report published on 26 October 2026. The compact SUV sits just below the Hyundai Creta and takes on the Kia Seltos, Maruti Victoris, Honda Elevate and Skoda Kushaq.
The Bayon is built at Hyundai’s Chennai plant in both right-hand and left-hand drive, for domestic sale and export.
What Engine and Gearbox Does the Hyundai Bayon Offer?
The SUV uses a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine making 115 hp and 144 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or a CVT. The CVT version claims 18.6 kmpl. Drive modes are Eco, Normal and Sport, plus a “Dash Boost” overtaking function. There is no turbo-petrol or diesel option, and a factory-fitted CNG variant is due in January 2027.
What Features Does the Hyundai Bayon Get?
Inside, it has dual 12.3-inch screens, ventilated front seats, a powered driver seat, a Bose sound system, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, ambient lighting, a generative-AI voice assistant and Bluelink connected-car technology. Safety kit includes Level 2 ADAS, six airbags, a 360-degree camera and all-wheel disc brakes. It rides on Hyundai’s Global-K Enhanced platform, which the maker says is engineered to target a 5-star crash rating.
The SUV measures 4,245 mm long with a 2,600 mm wheelbase, 205 mm ground clearance and a 505-litre boot. Styling follows Hyundai’s “Art of Steel” philosophy, with LED projector headlights, L-shaped DRLs and 17-inch alloys.
How Does the Bayon Change India’s Compact SUV Market?
With a starting price of ₹10 lakh and a feature list that includes ADAS and a panoramic sunroof, the Bayon pushes into a crowded segment where rivals compete on equipment. Hyundai already reported its highest-ever monthly sales in September 2026, at 77,916 units, up 10.8%.
Market Reaction and Industry Response
We did not find analyst commentary or a share-price reaction tied to the Bayon launch in the sources reviewed. Crash-test results have not been published, so the 5-star rating remains a target.
What Happens Next?
Watch for the CNG variant in January 2027, official crash-test results, and booking and delivery numbers once sales begin.
