Based on the Bayon model sold overseas, this Hyundai crossover will be introduced in the crossover segment. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming rival of Maruti Suzuki Fronx by Hyundai India.
Hyundai’s new crossover is currently under development and is expected to hit the roads in the fiscal year 2027. It will be based on the new-generation i20 platform with a lot of similarities.
To maintain competitive pricing just like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Fronx, Hyundai’s new Bayon-based crossover will share a significant number of components with the i20.
The new crossover will likely be produced at Hyundai's existing Sriperumbudur facility. The model will be introduced in its second generation in India and will be set to take on rivals like the Fronx, Toyota Taisor, and Tata Nexon.
The interior and most of the features of Hyundai’s new crossover will also be shared with the i20, just like the global-spec Hyundai Bayon.
The new crossover is likely to share its engine options with the Venue and i20, offering both 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre powertrain options to cater to a wide range of customer preferences.
After a great performance by Hyundai Venue and Creta on the sales charts, Hyundai aims to strengthen its SUV and crossover lineup for customers seeking a practical and stylish urban commuting experience.
To be positioned in the popular SUV and crossover segment of the Indian automobile market, the Hyundai’s new crossover is expected to be in the range of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh.
