Offenbach, 25 November 2020 – Hyundai Motor has revealed the name of a new crossover SUV model: Hyundai Bayon. Coming to the European market in the first half of 2021, Bayon will be a fully-new model and an important addition to the current Hyundai SUV line-up.
The Hyundai Bayon is an all-new small SUV with hybrid engines and sharp looks that has its sights set on the Ford Puma. Successor to i20, Bayon will be Hyundai’s entry-level, B-segment SUV in European markets. It gets its name from Bayonne, a city in southwest France known for being a hub for outdoor sporting. Hey Guys, Here's The First Look of All-new 2021 Hyundai Bayon - Tiny Modern SUV! Check Out Interior, Exterior, Features, Tech and Safety Overview of This Sub. The Hyundai Bayon SUV has been revealed, and it will initially go on sale as a replacement for the i20 Active in multiple international markets. We tell you more about it. Hyundai Bayon sits below.
“Hyundai is strongly established in the European SUV market already, in terms of our model range as well as our sales success,” says Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Vice President of Marketing & Product. “By launching a new, additional B-segment model as the entry point into our SUV line-up, we see a great opportunity to cover European customers’ demand even better and to increase our offering in a highly popular segment.”
Hyundai Bayon will join the Kona, Tucson, NEXO and Santa Fe, becoming the latest member of the Hyundai SUV line-up in Europe.
The name Bayon was inspired by the city of Bayonne in the southwest of France. As Hyundai Bayon is primarily a European product, Hyundai decided to name it after a European city. Positioned between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees mountains, the French town is a great location for those who enjoy activities such as sailing and hiking, fitting with the lifestyle character of the new model.
During the last 20 years, the company has frequently taken inspiration from locations around the world to generate some of the best-known nameplates among SUVs. These include not only the Tucson and Santa Fe, named after cities in the states of Arizona and New Mexico respectively, but also the Kona – whose name is derived from the Kona district on the Big Island of Hawaii. Even the pioneering fuel-cell electric vehicle NEXO has a geographic connection, taking its name from Nexø – one of the largest towns on the popular Danish holiday island of Bornholm.
More details about the Hyundai Bayon will be revealed soon.

- Petrol only, on sale summer 2021
Hyundai’s new Bayon SUV has been revealed. It’s designed to be a belated replacement to the ix20, and brings with it some big car technology.
The new Bayon has a huge number of rivals to fight off for your cash, taking on everything from Ford’s Puma to the Peugeot 2008, Nissan Juke and new Vauxhall Mokka.

Striking looks as standard
Unlike the ix20, the Bayon’s exterior can’t be described as anonymous, which is something that’s almost a requirement in order to stick out in one of the most crowded areas of the car market.
There are some familiar Hyundai cues here: split headlights at the front like the Kona, Tucson and Santa Fe, and a glass-heavy rear end with very interesting kinks in the surfacing.

Hyundai has listed several new colours (including the new Mangrove Green, pictured) that can be accented by an optional black roof.
What about on the inside?
Inside, a lot of the design has been taken from the i20 hatchback: big screen in the centre, digital dials, straked vents that stretch across the width of the dashboard.

Bluelink connected services include information like cloud-based navigation for more switched-on route planning and, where applicable, live parking info including where there are spaces available and how much it’ll set you back.
As for safety tech, every Bayon has lane-keeping, high beam and speed limit assistance as standard, as well as an alert when it notices the car in front pull away in traffic.
As for space, it’s about average in terms of space available in the Bayon, with a 411-litre boot – a smidge smaller than you’d get on a Nissan Juke or Ford Puma.
What engines does the Bayon have?
There’s no hybrid – plug-in or regular – here, neither is there an electric variant like the Vauxhall Mokka-e or Peugeot e-2008.
Instead, there’s a base-spec 1.2-litre petrol, but the (slightly) more interesting options come in the shape of a 1.0-litre turbo with either 100 or 120hp – both of which have mild-hybrid assistance. There’s no diesel option.
Go for one of these and you have the choice of a six-speed ‘intelligent’ manual gearbox or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
That manual option allows at-speed coasting when you release the accelerator – something usually reserved for the most sophisticated automatics - in order to boost fuel efficiency. When put into Sport mode, the intelligent manual also has rev matching – something only seen thus far on Hyundai’s N performance range.
What this means for you
Prices aren’t confirmed yet, but Hyundai says the Bayon will be available in summer 2021.
Expect it to be pricier than an i20, but cheaper than the Kona.
