The Bayon will be powered by a four-cylinder, 1.5-litre MPi petrol engine producing 115 PS of maximum power and 143.8 Nm of torque. It will be offered with a six-speed manual transmission and an intelligent variable transmission (iVT).
The automatic variant will get Dash Boost Mode, designed to improve acceleration response during overtaking, and Sporty Drive Tech for a more responsive acceleration experience. The SUV will also feature paddle shifters and three driving modes, Eco, Normal and Sport, allowing drivers to adjust the vehicle’s performance to different driving conditions.
Hyundai said more than six lakh vehicles equipped with the same 1.5-litre MPi petrol engine have been sold in India since 2020.
The Bayon’s launch comes as Hyundai expands its SUV offering in the Indian market. Further details, including pricing and variant-wise specifications, are expected to be announced on October 26.
Commenting on the performance philosophy of Hyundai BAYON, Tarun Garg, Managing Director & CEO, Hyundai Motor India Limited, said, “With Hyundai BAYON, we have combined our trusted four-cylinder 1.5L MPi petrol engine with intelligent driving technologies to deliver a driving experience that feels smooth, responsive and engaging across a variety of road conditions."
"Technologies such as the Intelligent Variable Transmission (iVT), Dash Boost Mode, Sporty Drive Tech and selectable drive modes work seamlessly together to adapt to the driver's needs and enhance confidence behind the wheel,” he added.
