Description
Hyundai has launched the Bayon at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, introductory), a new SUV that slots between the Venue and the Creta. The headline feature is the AI assistant, built with Perplexity and SoundHound AI. It is meant to understand normal conversation instead of fixed commands, so you can ask it to plan a road trip, check the weather, suggest hotels and restaurants or keep you updated on sports scores. It also supports more than 500 voice commands offline in English, Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Bengali, and Telugu.
Inside, the Bayon gets two 12.3-inch curved displays running Hyundai's latest connected cockpit with NVIDIA technology, online navigation and split-screen use. Up to 19 controllers can take over-the-air updates, and Bluelink adds more than 70 connected features, including remote start and stop and smartwatch connectivity. Under the bonnet is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine making 113bhp and 144Nm, with a six-speed manual or an IVT. The Bayon rides on the Global K Enhanced Platform, which Hyundai says is engineered to meet India's 5-star safety standards.
