Curiosity is building around Hyundai Bayon-based midsize SUV ahead of launch. This upcoming model measuring over four metres in length will rank below the Creta in Hyundai’s line-up. Let’s deep dive into the leaked specifications of this model which is set for festive season launch.
Rather than a traditional boxy SUV silhouette, the will feature a crossover-inspired design, according to Autocar. At the front, split headlamps are positioned with a full-width LED light bar at the top. The main headlamp units mounted on the bumper seem similar to those seen on the Verna. The front bumper also features a two-part air intake, with the registration plate mounted centrally.
Considering the profile view, the SUV features a rising window line and a prominent kink around the C-pillar with minimal body cladding. Other specifications include pull-type door handles, functional roof rails and heavily flared wheel arches reminiscent of the Exter.
At the rear, the design appears to mirror the front with a slim LED light strip. A pronounced roof spoiler is also visible, while the boot lid handle appears to be positioned in the centre of the tailgate. The SUV comes with dual-tone petal-style alloy wheels, pronounced and boot lid handle positioned at the centre of the tailgate.
Moving to the interiors, the report suggests that the cabin features a twin-screen layout stretching across the dashboard just like most modern Hyundais which seemed parallel to the latest 12.3-inch displays currently offered on higher variants of the Venue. The midsize SUV comes with dual-tone steering wheel featuring four-dot motif representing the letter ‘H’ in Morse code and black-and-white colour scheme cabin interiors.
Expected to be packed with a long list of comfort, convenience and safety features, the Bayon-based SUV variant might differ from the Creta in terms of powertrain offerings. As per Autocar, the SUV will offer Creta’s 115hp 1.5-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. This engine is expected to be offered with both a six-speed manual and a CVT gearbox. Notably, Hyundai is also likely to introduce a CNG version for the first time in over four metres model.
With the new model positioned below the Creta, the ex-showroom price is likely to range between ₹9 lakh and ₹14 lakh. In the highly competitive midsize SUV segment, Hyundai can augment the two-pronged approach just like .
