About the Hyundai Bayon
Launched in 2021 as Hyundai's smallest SUV for the European market, the Bayon is a B-segment crossover based on the third-generation i20 platform. It features the brand's 'Sensuous Sportiness' design language, characterised by arrow-shaped lights and a wide, technical grille. The 1.0-litre T-GDi engine utilizes 48V mild-hybrid technology and an 'intelligent' manual transmission (iMT) that can decouple the engine to coast for efficiency. While it shares its mechanical DNA with the i20, the Bayon offers a higher seating position and a larger 411-litre boot, positioning it as a practical urban runabout.
