Hyundai has launched the Bayon, its newest compact SUV for India, at a starting price of ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Bayon marks the Korean brand’s push into the sub-compact SUV space with a feature-heavy package aimed squarely at urban buyers.

Key highlights

• AI voice assistant for hands-free cabin controls.
• Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise and lane-keeping aids.
• 70+ connected features via Hyundai’s telematics platform.
• Built for global exports — the India-made Bayon will ship to 50+ countries.

What the Bayon brings

The headline tech is an in-car AI assistant that handles navigation, media and climate commands in natural language. Safety gets a boost from a Level 2 ADAS suite, while the connected platform bundles remote start, geofencing and live vehicle diagnostics.

Hyundai is positioning the Bayon as a global model produced in India, underlining the country’s growing role in the brand’s export strategy. The SUV is expected to take on rivals in the hotly contested compact-SUV segment once deliveries begin.
