Commenting on the design philosophy of Hyundai BAYON, Mr. Simon Loasby, Senior Vice President & Head of Hyundai Design Center, Hyundai Motor Company, said, “As we introduce BAYON to India, we wanted it to make a confident first impression. Our goal was to create an Intelligent Utility Vehicle, where intelligent technology and thoughtful design come together for modern urban lifestyles. A high-tech interior within a tough exterior. The sculpted hood, bold fender volumes and distinctive H-Edge lighting create a strong and unmistakable presence, giving BAYON a character that feels capable, modern and distinctly its own.”
