Hyundai reveals BAYON safety features ahead of 26 October launch

Hyundai Motor India has revealed the safety features of the BAYON, its upcoming “Intelligent Utility Vehicle”, ahead of its India launch on 26 October 2026. Built on the Global K Enhanced Platform, the car is engineered for 5-Star Indian safety standards, the company says. It offers more than 80 advanced safety features, and more than 35 are standard across all trims.

The body structure uses 69% advanced multi-grade high-strength steel, including hot-stamped parts in critical areas such as the front apron, dashboard, rear floor and side reinforcements. Hyundai says the dual-box construction, multiple load paths and ring-type structure help absorb and spread crash energy and reduce the risk of the cabin being pushed in.

The BAYON gets Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 Pro ADAS with 23 functions, supported by three radars and 12 parking sensors. They include forward collision-avoidance assist for cars, pedestrians, cyclists, junction turning and oncoming traffic, blind-spot collision-avoidance, lane keeping and lane following assist, smart cruise control with stop and go, highway driving assist, driver attention warning, safe exit warning and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance. Navigation-based cruise control for curves and zones is also included. A surround view monitor and blind-spot view monitor help in tight spaces.

Standard features across all trims include six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, ISOFIX child-seat mounts, tyre pressure monitoring, a rollover sensor, rear parking sensors, an emergency stop signal and seat belt reminders. The car also has all-wheel disc brakes.

The BAYON will come in 10 exterior options across monotone, matte and dual-tone finishes. Monotone colours are Titanium Black, Classy Blue, Atlas White, Fiery Red, Golden Bronze and Ecotronic Grey. Dual-tone options are Atlas White and Fiery Red, both with a black roof. Matte options are Titanium Black and Classy Blue.

Mr. Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO of Hyundai Motor India, said the car combines a robust body structure, advanced safety technologies and intelligent driver assistance to deliver a comprehensive safety experience.
