Hyundai has confirmed Hyundai Bayon as the name for its upcoming mid-size SUV in the Indian market. This new SUV is likely to position itself as a mid-range SUV able to appeal to customers looking for a premium SUV with a unique style and modern features.
It is said that the new version of Hyundai Bayon is expected to hit the Indian market during the holidays, with the company having only unveiled the name and a few design details. All others are awaited.
The SUV's front is likely to come equipped with a separate headlight arrangement and unique L-shaped LED daytime running lights. There is also likely to be a rectangular air dam occupying a portion of the front design.
The side profile of the SUV promises flared wheel arches, two-tone alloy wheels and roof rails. At the back, the SUV being tested has been seen to have a sloping rear windshield and roof spoiler.
Interior and Features of Hyundai Bayon
The Hyundai Bayon SUV is likely to feature a two-tone interior with a curved dashboard and dual-screen layout. The setup might give the dashboard a highly premium and modern look. The car is also expected to have a two-tone steering wheel like the one seen in the Hyundai Venue, while round interior door handles are another design element seen during testing.
Hyundai, however, has not officially revealed the complete list of features. Key features such as the infotainment system, connected car technology, safety features, ADAS functions and powertrain specifications will need to be confirmed at a later date.
Positioning and Expected Rivals
Hyundai is projected to position the new SUV between the Venue and Creta in its Indian market. This will result in another option for the firm in the fiercely competitive mid-size SUV class. The segment already features tough competition, so it will be crucial to properly price the Bayon and provide proper engine options, features, and overall positioning.
