Hyundai Bayon India Launches With 1.2-Litre Turbo Engine

So, Hyundai is up to some thing interesting. The Hyundai Bayon 1.2 Turbo is rumored to land in India with the aid of mid-2026. Yep, the compact SUV absolutely everyone’s speaking about. Built at the i20 platform, it’s set to rival the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. And the kicker? It comes with a emblem-new 1.2-litre four-cylinder rapid-petrol engine. Made in India. Serious enterprise.

Hyundai Bayon’s New 1.2-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine

Now, right here’s the amusing component. Hyundai isn’t simply bringing a new engine. They’re bridging an opening. Between the 1.0-litre turbo and the 1.5-litre faster petrol. Makes experience, right? More torque than the 1.0 (120hp, 172Nm). Less cumbersome than the 1.5 (160hp, 253Nm). Smart move.

And yes, it’s hybrid-ready. Future-proof, they say. Transmission options? Could be a dual-clutch automatic. Or maybe an e-CVT. Depends. India might see both 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre turbo engines in the Bayon. That’s flexible.

saurabh jha Saurabh Jha? Man, that guy basically eats, sleeps, and breathes cars. He’s been in the auto game for, what, over ten years now? Real nuts-and-bolts kind of dude, not just some armchair critic. You’ll catch him obsessing over a fresh set of rims one day, then nerding out about turbochargers the next. He’s reviewed probably every car you’ve ever drooled over, hit up all the big auto expos (think Geneva, Detroit, the works), and he’s always chatting up the big shots in the industry. If you want honest, no-BS takes on anything with four wheels, Saurabh’s your guy.
