Hyundai Bayon Safety
The Hyundai Bayon is built on the company’s ‘Global K Enhanced’ platform. According to Hyundai, the SUV has been developed with a focus on achieving a 5-star safety rating for the Indian market. Approximately 69% of the vehicle’s body is composed of advanced, multi-grade high-strength steel.
This includes various steel grades such as Hot-Stamped steel, Ultra-High-Strength Steel (UHSS), Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS), and High-Strength Steel (HSS). Hot-stamped steel has been utilized in key areas, including the front apron, dashboard, rear floor, and side reinforcements. The rear floor side members have also been reinforced for added strength. Furthermore, the SUV features a dual-box construction, multiple load paths, and a ring-type body structure.
6 Airbags
Six airbags will come as standard across all variants of the Hyundai Bayon, ensuring that safety is consistent regardless of the trim level chosen. Additionally, features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) are included as standard. Hill-Start Assist, in particular, helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline.
The SUV also includes a high-line Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), a rollover sensor, and an Emergency Stop Signal. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts the driver if the air pressure in any tyre drops below the recommended level. Additionally, it will feature three-point seatbelts, seatbelt reminders, ISOFIX child seat mounts, rear parking sensors, central locking, a burglar alarm, and a headlamp escort function.

The most notable safety feature of the Hyundai Bayon is the Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 Pro ADAS system, which includes a total of 23 driver-assistance functions. This system utilizes three radars and 12 parking sensors.
Its Forward Collision Warning system can alert the driver if there is a risk of a collision with another vehicle or object ahead. It also includes features such as Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.
Highway Driving Assist and 360-Degree Camera
The vehicle is equipped with Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Following Assist, and Highway Driving Assist. It also features cruise control integrated with the navigation system. When reversing, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning and Avoidance Assist help detect vehicles approaching from the rear. Additionally, the Safe Exit Warning provides alerts about approaching traffic before a vehicle door is opened.
1.5-Litre Petrol Engine and Gearbox Options
The Hyundai Bayon is powered by a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder MPi petrol engine, which generates 115 PS of power and 143.8 Nm of torque. Transmission options include a six-speed manual gearbox and an IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission).
