Overview
- Multiple Indian outlets this week published new spy shots showing production‑intent details of a Bayon‑derived SUV that Hyundai plans to position between the Venue and the Creta.
- Interior images reveal two integrated curved digital displays and a new four‑dot steering motif, signaling a more tech‑focused cabin than Hyundai's current mid‑range models.
- Test mules display camera modules and radar hardware consistent with 360° cameras and Level 2 driver assistance systems, which would add advanced safety and convenience features to the segment.
- Reports consistently point to Hyundai using its 1.5‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with 6‑speed manual and IVT/CVT options and offer a factory‑fitted CNG variant with an underbody tank for the India market.
- Prototypes have moved from heavy camouflage to a white promotional wrap reading 'BRING IT ON', which suggests Hyundai is entering a pre‑launch marketing phase ahead of an expected festive‑season debut and broader product roll‑out in India through 2030.
