Overview
- A heavily camouflaged Bayon test mule was seen on Indian roads on Thursday undergoing road trials, indicating late-stage development rather than a finished production model.
- Multiple outlets report Hyundai intends to position the Bayon above the Venue and below the Creta to offer buyers more space and road presence without moving into Creta pricing.
- Spy images show vertical/high-mounted daytime-running lights, a boxy upright silhouette, roof rails and a longer rear overhang while front and rear bumpers remain heavily concealed.
- Reports say India powertrain choices are likely to mirror other local Hyundai models with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol offered with manual and automatic gearbox options, though official specs are unconfirmed.
- International-spec Bayon features such as large dual displays, wireless charging, OTA maps and ADAS are cited as possible inclusions and the model is widely expected to target a late-2026 festive-season launch, but Hyundai has not announced a formal launch date or final equipment.
