The Hyundai Bayon is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Hyundai Motor Company. It was first unveiled in September 2020 and went on sale in Europe in April 2021. The Bayon is based on the same platform as the Hyundai i20 and is designed to be a more rugged and adventurous variant of the popular supermini.
Design and Features:
The Bayon features a distinctive design that blends the smooth, curved lines of the i20 with more angular, aggressive elements typical of crossovers. The result is a vehicle that looks purposeful without being too chunky or awkward. LED headlights, fog lights, and taillights add to its visual appeal.
Inside, the Bayon offers a modern and feature-rich cabin with an 8-inch touchscreen display, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium audio system as standard in higher trim levels. The vehicle also boasts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for seamless smartphone connectivity.

A six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox provide smooth and efficient power delivery, while the front-wheel-drive layout helps to optimize fuel economy.
