505 litres of bootspace is what the #Bayon has to offer. That’s more than the #Creta. Interesting! And yes it’s a software driven car. All software upgrades can be OTA! No need to head to the service centre

The cabin sees a curved display and yes there are buttons on the inside. Not all the functionality on the touchscreen. #Bayon. Mind you that curved display is not standard. In fact the base variant does not get an infotainment system.

New EV coming by the end of this Fiscal year. A grand debut at the @bharat_mobility in February is surely on the table. #Bayon will be the 1st and the EV the second in the same fiscal year. @HyundaiIndia is going big!
