The naturally aspirated petrol will get a manual or a CVT automatic. The Bayon will intent to repeat the success of the Creta while here the focus would be on pricing and the appeal of the car.

Bayon Design and Powertrain Focus

The Bayon is sold outside also with this name but the India spec Bayon would be different. It would have a sleek crossover design and details including new 12.3-in screens along with the new steering wheel with the Morse code Hyundai logo.

The Bayon will begin where the Venue left off and will be a bigger SUV for the new buyers where CNG is turning out to be more popular. Hence, the Bayon will not offer a diesel most likely and concentrate on powertrains like petrol or CNG.

Hyundai Bayon Launch Plans

The Bayon would be launched soon and will be Hyundai’s big push into the festive season while the carmaker is also readying its new made for India EV which is coming in a bit later after the launch of the Bayon.
