2026 Hyundai Bayon review - New Victoris rival sits below Creta | First Drive | Autocar India

The Bayon is Hyundai's new midsize SUV that sits below the Creta, but above the Venue, and it has one SUV in its sights - the Maruti Suzuki Victoris. With just one engine - a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol with a manual and CVT, and eventually CNG power, it aims to target the huge buyer base that wants a no-nonsense SUV with lower running costs. Gavin D'Souza drives it in Goa to get a first impression.
