Updated India-spec design details
Hyundai’s India product material describes the BAYON’s exterior around its Art of Steel design language, sculpted bonnet and pronounced fenders. The signature H-Edge LED daytime running lamps are paired with high-intensity dual LED projector headlamps. Geometric wheel arches, wrap-around door cladding and bridge-type roof rails add to the SUV profile, while H-Edge tail lamps and a roof spoiler with a high-mounted stop lamp carry the design theme to the rear.
The India model measures 4,245 mm long, 1,810 mm wide and 1,605 mm tall with roof rails. Hyundai lists 205 mm ground clearance and a 5.16-metre turning radius. Wheel equipment varies: published options include 16-inch steel wheels with covers and several 17-inch wheel designs. The wheel seen in a photograph may be a higher trim than the vehicle a buyer is considering, so confirm the actual HX specification.
Hyundai lists ten paint combinations in monotone, dual-tone and matte categories. Monotone colours include Titanium Black, Classy Blue, Atlas White, Fiery Red, Golden Bronze and Ecotronic Grey. Dual-tone combinations pair Atlas White or Fiery Red with a black roof; matte choices include Titanium Black Matte and Classy Blue Matte. Availability may vary by trim and location, and a particular colour can affect delivery timing.
These measurements are practical to compare with a home garage or parking space, but dimensions alone do not establish visibility or manoeuvrability. Inspect the vehicle in person, sit in the driver’s seat and check sightlines. Roof rails do not by themselves state a roof-load rating, so consult the owner documentation before fitting cargo. Matte paint also needs model-specific care guidance. See the separate design and lighting overview for a visual breakdown.

The Hyundai Bayon design is built around a crossover-like silhouette with a modern, tech-focused look. Here is a detailed walk-around.
Quick Answer
The Bayon has split headlamps with slim horizontal LED DRLs, pronounced wheel-arch cladding, dual-tone alloy wheels, roof rails, a sloping roofline with a floating roof effect and slim LED tail lamps joined by a dark strip. Inside it gets a panoramic digital cockpit with dual 12.3-inch curved displays.
