Commenting on the safety package, Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO of Hyundai Motor India Limited, said the BAYON combines a robust body structure, advanced safety technologies and intelligent driver assistance to deliver a comprehensive safety experience.

He added that the vehicle’s reinforced chassis, high-strength steel construction and Level 2 Pro ADAS reflect Hyundai’s focus on developing safe, connected and progressive mobility solutions for Indian customers.

Hyundai BAYON: Reinforced Body Structure and High-Strength Steel

The Hyundai BAYON is based on the Global K Enhanced Platform, with a reinforced chassis and a body structure designed to manage crash energy and improve occupant protection.

Hyundai says the BAYON’s Super-Strong Body Structure incorporates 69% Advanced Multi-Grade High-Strength Steel, including Hot Stamping (HS), Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS), Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and High Strength Steel (HSS).

Hot-stamped components are used in critical areas such as the front apron, dashboard, rear floor and side reinforcements. Hot-stamped rear-floor side members are designed to enhance protection in rear impacts.

The vehicle also employs dual-box construction, multiple load paths and a ring-type structure to help absorb and distribute impact forces, improve structural rigidity and reduce the risk of cabin intrusion during a collision.

According to Hyundai, the combination of platform architecture, reinforced construction and advanced steel technologies forms the foundation of the BAYON’s occupant-protection system.
