Hyundai’s new BAYON SUV launches on 26 October. Ventilated seats, twin 12.3-inch screens and 6 airbags. Pre-book today at Lakshmi Hyundai Chennai.
Chennai, meet the Hyundai BAYON. Hyundai revealed the India-spec BAYON on 12 October 2026, and it goes on sale on 26 October 2026. You can pre-book it today at Lakshmi Hyundai Chennai.
Positioned between the VENUE and the CRETA, the BAYON gives you big-SUV features at a more accessible price.
Chennai summers are tough on drivers. The BAYON answers with ventilated front seats, automatic climate control and rear AC vents, so passengers in the back stay cool too. White and black dual-tone interiors keep the cabin feeling light and airy.
The CVT automatic takes the stress out of crawling traffic on Anna Salai, OMR and GST Road. On a weekend run down the East Coast Road to Mahabalipuram or Puducherry, the 1.5-litre petrol (about 115 PS) cruises comfortably. A 6-speed manual is also available.
Play your favourite tracks on the 8-speaker Bose sound system along the way.
The BAYON brings Hyundai’s first generative AI voice assistant in India, powered by Perplexity and SoundHound AI. Hyundai has announced support for multiple regional languages; ask our team whether Tamil voice commands are included. Twin 12.3-inch screens, NVIDIA-powered navigation and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay complete the tech package.
The BAYON has a confident, modern face. Slim inverted-L LED daytime running lamps are linked by a piano-black strip, and the LED headlamps sit at the corners of a wide grille with horizontal inserts. A large bumper and chunky skid plate give it real SUV presence.
In profile, sharp creases run along every panel, and flared wheel arches wrap around up to 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The black pillars give a floating-roof look. The rear mirrors the front with inverted-L tail lamps joined by a black strip, plus a roof spoiler and shark-fin antenna. It will look right at home on Marina Beach Road or in Anna Nagar.
Inside, the BAYON uses a black-and-white dual-tone theme with white leatherette upholstery. In a hot city like Chennai, the lighter colours help the cabin feel cooler and more spacious.
The dashboard features vertical AC vents, a sculpted centre section and Hyundai’s new steering wheel. Soft-touch padding on the steering, gear knob and armrests adds comfort, and unique round inside door handles add a touch of character. All five seats get adjustable headrests, so rear passengers travel just as comfortably as those in front.
All BAYONs get 6 airbags and electronic stability control as standard. Higher variants add Level 2 ADAS and a 360-degree camera, a real help when parking in T. Nagar or Velachery.

The BAYON slots between the VENUE and the CRETA in Hyundai’s SUV range. If you’ve outgrown your hatchback or sedan but don’t want to jump straight to the CRETA’s price, the BAYON is designed for you.
It’s ideal for Chennai families who need space for five and a good-sized boot, and for daily commuters who want an automatic, strong air-conditioning and modern safety features in one package.
