Hyundai Bayon SUV Pre-bookings Open: All About Skoda Kushaq Rival

Hyundai has opened bookings for the Bayon ahead of its India launch on October 26, 2026. The new midsize SUV can be booked online or at authorised dealerships for Rs 11,000, although Hyundai has not announced variant-wise prices yet. Once launched, the Bayon will sit between the Venue and Creta in Hyundai's India line-up. It is expected to compete in the midsize SUV space, where it will take on models like the Skoda Kushaq.

Hyundai Bayon: Design, Dimensions

The Bayon's front end uses a layered fascia with LED daytime running lights set into a slim black strip along the bonnet's leading edge. This is in sync with the brand's "Art of Steel" design language. The main headlamps sit lower in the bumper, which also carries black and silver cladding.

In profile, flared wheel arches, sharp character lines, petal-style alloy wheels and a gloss-black pillar treatment give the SUV a crossover-like stance. At the rear, slim tail-lamps sit within a black band, while a roof spoiler and dual-tone bumper complete the look.
