Positioning in Nepal
While the Bayon is set for its Indian debut, its arrival in Nepal remains unconfirmed. In the current Nepali market, Hyundai positions its SUVs across a broad price range. The Venue is available from Rs 48.96 lakh to Rs 67.96 lakh, while the Creta ranges from Rs 55.56 lakh to Rs 80.56 lakh. The Bayon is expected to slot between these two models.
