Hyundai’s new Rs. 8 Lakh Coupe SUV will sit above Venue in their line-up!

Hyundai is preparing to shake up the sub-4-meter SUV segment in India with the launch of the Bayon, a coupe-styled crossover SUV set to arrive in 2026. Slated to be positioned below the Creta, the SUV will directly rival the Maruti Fronx and offer bold styling, premium interiors, and a feature-packed experience to rival top-selling compact SUVs
