Hyundai developed this model based on its global K Enhanced platform. The car body is designed using 69% high-strength steel with a multi-stage structure. The company positions the Bayon as a vehicle that meets the 5-star safety standard in India.
Hot-stamped components were used to reinforce the structure in critical areas such as the front bumper, dashboard, rear floor, and side reinforcements.
