About The 2026 Hyundai Bayon

The Bayon, as you know by now, is Hyundai’s second Compact SUV after the Creta. It is slightly smaller than its sibling but showcases the future of the brand’s design. The Bayon comes with a split headlamp setup with DRLs at the top and headlamps below. It also gets a silver skid plate in the front bumper for a rugged feel.

The profile features sculpted elements which add to the appeal. It also comes with black roof rails, turn indicators in the ORVMs, body-coloured door handles and a blacked-out B-pillar. At the rear, it gets a similar LED taillight setup as the DRLs, a squared-off tailgate and an integrated roof spoiler. The boot has the Hyundai badge and Bayon lettering. Just like the front skid plate, the rear bumper also gets a silver skid plate and a muscular design. 

On the inside, the Bayon is completely different compared to any other Hyundai model in the country. It has a dual-tone cabin theme and a curved screen setup with two displays. It also has slim vertical AC vents flanking the climate control panel. The steering wheel is similar to the new Venue and Verna. 

In terms of features, it gets a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver’s display. It also comes with Generative AI capability, Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), a 360-degree camera, blind spot monitoring, six airbags and a lot more.
