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.
