Inside, the Bayon will get two 12.3-inch screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Its Connected Car Navigation Cockpit will use NVIDIA technology and support over-the-air updates for up to 19 vehicle controllers.

The model will also feature a generative AI voice assistant combining Perplexity AI intelligence with SoundHound AI voice technology. Hyundai Bluelink will provide more than 70 connected-car functions.

The Bayon will be available in 10 exterior colour finishes, including monotone, matte and dual-tone options. It will be built on Hyundai’s Global K Enhanced Platform, which uses advanced high-strength steel and hot-stamped structural components.
