Hyundai Bayon 2026 : Hyundai Motor India has quietly introduced the 2026 Bayon facelift in select global markets (including India through CBU/CKD route) in late 2025 – a sharp, youthful sub-compact crossover that sits below the Venue in the lineup, offering premium features at entry-premium pricing. Expected ex-showroom pricing in India starts at ₹9.99 lakh for the base SE 1.0 T-GDi manual, scaling to ₹14.49 lakh for the top Premium 1.0 T-GDi DCT with full ADAS suite – undercutting Venue, Brezza, and Sonet while competing with Tata Nexon, Maruti Fronx, and Kia Sonet. With 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and upcoming mild-hybrid variants, 6 airbags standard, and Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 ADAS on higher trims, the Bayon 2026 targets young urban buyers and small families – bookings expected to open Q2 2026 with deliveries from mid-2026.
Futuristic & Youthful Exterior
The 2026 Bayon facelift adopts Hyundai’s latest ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ language with a bolder parametric grille, seamless LED projector headlamps, and a full-width connected LED DRL light bar for aggressive road presence. The redesigned front bumper features wider air intakes and C-shaped accents for improved aero efficiency.

Measuring 4,180 mm long with a 2,580 mm wheelbase, the side profile highlights 16–17 inch alloy wheels, flush door handles, and blacked-out roof rails. The rear gets redesigned connected LED tail lamps, a sculpted diffuser, and twin chrome exhaust tips (turbo variants). Eight vibrant colors including new Matte Graphite and dual-tone options (e.g., Atlas White with black roof) add flair, with 180 mm ground clearance handling urban potholes confidently.
Premium & Connected Cabin
Inside, the Bayon 2026 feels upscale with a dual-tone black-grey cabin, soft-touch materials, and premium fabric/leatherette upholstery. The 5-seater layout offers good rear legroom and 411 litres boot space (expandable to 1,205 litres via 60:40 folds), with dedicated rear AC vents and USB-C ports. The dashboard features dual 10.25-inch curved displays: a touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a digital instrument cluster. Ambient lighting, wireless charging, ventilated front seats (top trims), and an 8-speaker Bose audio system create a connected, premium lounge – perfect for daily commutes and weekend getaways.
Performance & Up to 21 KM/L Mileage
The 2026 Bayon is powered by the 1.0-litre T-GDi turbo-petrol engine (120 PS, 172 Nm) with 7-speed DCT for quick acceleration and 18–21 km/l mileage (real-world 16–19 km/l). A mild-hybrid 48V variant (expected mid-2026) promises 22+ km/l. Drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) and refined suspension deliver a plush yet agile ride – light steering and compact dimensions make it perfect for city traffic and highway cruising.

Convenience includes powered tailgate, cooled glovebox, ventilated seats, and multiple USB-C ports. Drive modes, terrain response (select variants), and eco-coaching promote smarter driving – a connected crossover for modern city life.
