Hyundai Motor India has opened bookings for the Bayon, its upcoming 4.2m mid-size SUV, ahead of its planned launch during the festive season. Bookings are open through Hyundai’s website and authorised dealerships across India for an initial amount of ₹11,000.
The Bayon will be offered with an in-built generative AI voice assistant, which Hyundai says is intended to enable more natural interactions between the driver and vehicle. The SUV is based on the Global K Enhanced Platform, which the company says has been engineered for 5-star Indian safety standards based on its internal assessment.
Hyundai has positioned the Bayon around five areas — intelligence, safety, comfort, performance and styling. The company describes it as an Intelligent Utility Vehicle, with its technology package centred on the generative AI voice assistant and connected functions.

The Bayon measures 4.2m in length and features a wide SUV stance.

Hyundai says the interior has been designed to maximise legroom, headroom and shoulder room.
