Hyundai Bayon HX5 trim positioned as value-for-money option in India
Hyundai's Bayon HX5, priced between Rs 12.44 lakh and Rs 13.84 lakh, offers a mix of premium features and an automatic transmission, making it a strong value proposition for budget-focused Indian buyers.
Hyundai has introduced the Bayon SUV in India with prices ranging from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 17.99 lakh across eight trim levels. The HX5 trim, which marks the entry point for the IVT automatic transmission, is priced at Rs 12.44 lakh for the manual version and Rs 13.84 lakh for the automatic, a Rs 1.40 lakh premium for the latter.
The HX5’s exterior includes single projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED tail lamps and rear turn indicators, along with R17 steel wheels, body-coloured door handles, blacked-out pillars and roof rails. Interior appointments feature a dual-tone black and olive-grey theme, dual curved panoramic displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, OTA updates, a wireless charger, and a 6-speaker audio system. Additional equipment comprises a single-pane electric sunroof, paddle shifters for the IVT, power windows, cruise control and Hyundai Bluelink connected-car technology.
Safety equipment standard on the HX5 includes six airbags, electronic stability control, vehicle stability management, hill-start assist, rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera, though front and side parking sensors are absent. The SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivering 115 PS and 143.8 Nm of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or an IVT automatic gearbox.
Upgrading to the HX6 trim raises the price to Rs 13.56 lakh (manual) or Rs 14.96 lakh (automatic) and adds dual projector headlamps, diamond-cut alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a front sliding console armrest and leather-trimmed steering and gear-shift knobs.
