Hyundai Bayon SUV Confirmed for India, Likely to Fill the Gap Between Creta and Venue

The Indian division of the South Korean automaker Hyundai has today confirmed the name of its upcoming SUV, i.e. Bayon. Sharing this update the automaker shared that the Bayron will be a new global intelligent SUV. Hyundai India also revealed that it is gearing up to share more information regarding the Bayon in the days to follow. We anticipate that the new Hyundai Bayon will make its India debut this festive season.

Hyundai Bayon SUV: What to Expect?

Hyundai has stated that the name of the Bayon SUV is inspired from Bayonne, which is a city located in the French Basque Country. This city is well known for its “distinctive character and dynamic spirit” as stated by Hyundai. The automaker has highlighted that this SUV will cater to the evolving Indian market.
Globally the Bayon debuted in 2021 and is based on the third-generation i20 hatchback; this SUV received a facelift in 2024. It is less likely that the current-global version of this SUV will make its way to India. A camouflaged Hyundai SUV has spotted testing on several occasions in India which follows a new design language similar to the Venue, we expect this version to debut in the Indian market. The new Bayon is likely to be slotted between the Venue and Creta in the company’s SUV lineup in the country. Design, powertrain, features, safety and other details of the Bayon are likely to be revealed as we get closer to its India launch.
