Hyundai Motor India have opened bookings for the 2026 Bayon, their upcoming C-segment SUV that will slot between the Venue and Creta. Interested customers can book the new SUV by paying a token amount of Rs. 11,000 through Hyundai's official website or authorised dealerships across India. The Bayon is scheduled to launch in October 2026.

The Bayon will get a futuristic design that was previewed through Hyundai's earlier teasers. It features a sculpted bonnet, a wide front fascia and H-shaped LED DRLs.
The SUV’s design also includes door cladding and roof rails. Its upright proportions and wide stance are intended to give it a stronger road presence than the global-spec model.

Earlier teaser images also revealed a cabin with a modern dashboard layout, twin 10.25-inch displays and vertical air vents. The teaser images also confirmed paddle shifters for the automatic variants.
Hyundai have now shared that the Bayon will be “powered by proven and reliable Hyundai petrol powertrain with Manual and IVT transmission options”. This suggests it will be offered with the 1.5L normal petrol engine, which powers the Hyundai Creta, with the option of a 6-speed manual and CVT automatic transmission. There is no mention of a diesel or turbo petrol engine option at the moment.

Hyundai have also revealed that the Bayon will measure around 4.2 metres in length, putting it between the sub-4m Venue and larger Creta in Hyundai’s SUV portfolio. With a long footprint and wide stance (based on spy shots), the Bayon is expected to compete with SUVs such as the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Renault Duster and Nissan Tekton.
