Another day, another Hyundai crossover. This is the teaser pics for the new Bayon, sits below the Kona. It is most likely Euro-only./

Hyundai Teases New Bayon Crossover

Hyundai has released more revealing teaser images of its forthcoming Bayon compact crossover.

In November 2020, Hyundai released a teaser image of the taillight of a new compact crossover called Bayon. Now, further teasers have been released which are more revealing. See the images in the gallery.

The Bayon is the latest product offering from Hyundai and traces its name to the French city of Bayonne. In terms of size, this new crossover is a B-segment vehicle. That means it effectively sits below Kona in the Hyundai crossover line-up.

Product planners for Bayon are going to use the i20 platform. Although i20 and Kona are not that much different in size, Hyundai believes there is sufficient differentiation in the market for a viable business case for Bayon.

Bayon is expected to be revealed in the first half of 2021 and may very well be a Europe-only model as the Venue currently serves markets outside of Europe, including South Africa. It, therefore, wouldn't make sense for Hyundai to offer the Venue and Bayon in the same market.

New 2021 Hyundai Bayon crossover to be revealed tomorrow

New arrival will sit underneath the Kona as the entry point in Hyundai's burgeoning SUV range

Hyundai will tomorrow unveil the new Bayon, an entry-level SUV to rival the Toyota Yaris Cross and Ford Puma.

It is the first production car designed under the brand's new 'sensuous sportiness' banner, as previewed by the radical Le Fil Rouge and Prophecy concepts, which Hyundai said combines "emotional value with innovative solutions in design".

Hyundai Bayon

Hyundai Motor revealed Hyundai Bayon - an all-new crossover SUV designed specifically for Europe. As a B-segment SUV, Bayon will be the latest and smallest member of Hyundai's expanding SUV family.

The all-new Hyundai Bayon features a compact exterior, a roomy interior, and a long list of intelligent safety and connectivity features which make it stand out in its segment. With this, the all-new Bayon democratises technology, making high-tech safety and connectivity features accessible for all.

In line with Hyundai's existing SUV naming strategy, Bayon's name was inspired by a vacation hotspot: Bayonne, the capital of the French Basque Country and one of the most beautiful destinations in the south-west of France. As Hyundai Bayon is designed to meet the demands of the European market, the company decided to give it a European name.

New Hyundai Bayon revealed as fresh-faced (i20-based) small crossover

Hyundai has whipped the covers off its new Bayon, a fresh-faced small crossover based on the i20 hatchback.

Designed “specifically for Europe”, the new Bayon’s name was “inspired by a vacation hotspot”: Bayonne, the capital of the French Basque Country located in the southwest of France.

At 4 180 mm from nose to tail, the Bayon is interestingly a shade longer than the Kona. It measures 1 775 mm wide and stands 1 490 mm tall (or 1 500 mm with 17-inch wheels fitted), while the wheelbase is listed as 2 580 mm (a touch less space between the axles than the Kona offers).

Still, Hyundai promises “excellent legroom” for those sited at the rear, while the luggage compartment can swallow a claimed 411 litres. Ground clearance comes in at 183 mm (again, with those 17-inch alloys specified), which the company describes as “higher than most other vehicles in the B-segment”.

Hyundai Unwraps Bayon Crossover

Hyundai has taken off the covers of its new Bayon crossover.

The Hyundai Bayon is built on the i20 compact hatchback platform and the Korean brand is pitching it to the B-segment against things like the Volkswagen T-Cross and Nissan Juke. Named after a particularly pretty area of French Basque Country, it's clear Hyundai is targeting the European market with its offering.

It's 4 180mm long, 1 775mm wide and 1 490mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2 580 mm. Clever packaging means 411 litres of boot space. Customers have the option of 15-inch steel wheels or 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels. Hyundai is claiming a ground clearance of up to 183 mm (in combination with 17-inch alloy wheels)

In terms of engines, there are 1.0-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engines in two states of tune. The entry-level outputs are 74 kW and 172 Nm, while the top-spec model produces 88 kW and 172 Nm. Both derivatives are paired with 48V mild hybrid assistance, and customers can choose from either a 6-speed manual gearbox with rev-matching tech or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

We're trying to work out where the new Bayon fits in relation to the Kona and the Venue and we suspect there's going to be quite an overlap. Interestingly, the Hyundai Creta is not sold in Europe and we suspect Bayon won't come to SA as we already have the former on sale.

2022 Hyundai Bayon Compact SUV Revealed

Hyundai has showcased its all-new SUV. Meet the 2022 Hyundai Bayon, a small SUV aimed at the European market.

Like Volkswagen, the Korean brands are also releasing a raft of SUVs to tackle all niches and segments. For the European market comes the 2022 Hyundai Bayon, which Hyundai says takes on the B-segment SUV market.

The 2022 Hyundai Bayon is the smallest member of the brand’s SUV family and is named after Bayonne, apparently one of the most beautiful destinations in France and a vacation hotspot.

Will the 2022 Hyundai Bayon come to South Africa?

Given the advanced safety features and positioning, we suspect the 2022 Hyundai Bayon will not come to SA, based on a product overlap. Hyundai South Africa already has the Creta and Venue as its entry-level SUV range and a 3rd model might cannibalise sales. We’ll update this article if we hear anything.

The Hyundai Bayon's Dashboard Looks Damn Good - Jalopnik​

Hyundai's new tiny European crossover has a cabin I wouldn't mind spending a lot of time in.​

1624464958318.png

The Hyundai Bayon is the latest compact crossover from the South Korean carmaker to hit the market in Europe. It is reasonably priced, starting at €14,290, or just over $17,000, including VAT. It’s intended to compete with current B-segment favourites in Europe, like the Ford Puma.

Its exterior design is polarizing, but its interior design and cabin are both quite good and Hyundai is now teasing us with a detailed glimpse into the Bayon, which will not see a release in the U.S., unfortunately.

Even if it were coming here, we would very likely overlook the little crossover because it’d be considered under-powered, but damn if I don’t appreciate a modern dashboard with a clutch pedal, and an honest-to-goodness dead pedal.

That looks like a dead pedal I could actually rest my left foot on, even in the auto-equipped Bayon. The kind I’d likely have to pay good money to install in my BMW E36, but beyond that idiosyncratic detail, the Bayon’s cabin seems like a very comfortable place to spend time in.

The Bayon’s cloth seat textures look good, and the infotainment screen is plenty big. The volume knob is right there, within easy reach of the steering wheel and the HVAC controls seem easy enough to learn for hands-free operation.

I suppose the shifter in the six-speed manual Bayon is meant to be a budget option but, honestly, it looks just as good as any shifter probably found in up-market options from competitors like Volkswagen or Ford.

Its steering wheel texture even reminds me of those found in late model Hondas. It’s really great!

Hyundai Bayon 2021 UK review

Should I buy one?

This is a complete, well-priced, practical and dynamically respectable compact family car. It'll be much better at meeting your motoring needs than kindling your affections or attracting admiring glances, and it won't be as easy to spot on the road as some of its rivals; but it would be a better ownership proposition than many.

WATCH | Hyundai's SUV family just got bigger with the introduction of the all-new Bayon

• The Bayon's name was inspired by a vacation hotspot.

• The model is designed specifically for the European market.

• A 1.0-litre T-GDi with a 48-volt mild hybrid and 1.2-litre MPi engine are the powertrain options.

South Africa's SUV market is considerably well-stocked, and Hyundai is one of the brands that has milked the segment for all it is worth to get ahead of its rivals.

The Korean brand just recently launched the facelifted Kona locally that sits alongside a number of other stellar SUV offerings like the Creta, Tucson, Venue and Santa Fe.

Designed specifically for European markets, the all-new Bayon crossover SUV is the latest addition to the ever-growing family. Why the name Bayon you might be wondering? Its name was inspired by a vacation hotspot: Bayonne, the capital of the French Basque Country in the southwest of France.

Obviously then the Bayon won't be marked for the local market, but it's also interesting to note that Europe has no Creta model over there, while the mid-sized SUV is thriving in South Africa.

Hyundai's Global Crossover Range Is Bewildering And Numerous, So Let's Make Sense Of It

Kona, Venue, Creta, Bayon, Tucson. Depending on where you live, you can buy some of these, but not all.

Leaked images of a facelifted Hyundai Creta — one of the automaker’s many compact crossovers — began making the rounds today. If the Creta name is unfamiliar to you, there’s good reason for that. You won’t find that nameplate on the lot of an American Hyundai dealer. Rather, the Creta is sold in Mexico, Brazil, India and Russia, among other markets.

Oh sure — the Creta shares a family resemblance with the snub-nosed Venue, the smallest SUV Hyundai offers in the U.S. But they’re built on different platforms: the Creta uses the same SUV-B architecture as the U.S. Kia Seltos, which also shares those underpinnings with the Kona. Meanwhile, the Venue is built on Hyundai’s K2 plan, like the Bayon in Europe. And the Seltos too, but only in certain countries.

Why am I bringing this up? Because it’s a complete mess.

Yes, I know Hyundai isn’t the only carmaker that sells similar-but-not-quite-identical versions of vehicles in a multitude of markets. But the company’s compact SUV range is especially dizzying — the stuff of those clever infographics with overlapping circles, one of which I’d try to make if I wasn’t already writing this. I’d have asked our top graphicist Torch, but he was working on an article about the Ioniq 5's nifty lighting at the time I was doing this one. These are in addition to the thing about the Hyundai restomod I wrote this morning. There’s sure been a lot of Hyundai on Jalopnik dot com on this Tuesday, for whatever reason.

But anyway, here’s Hyundai’s crossover and SUV lineup for the U.S. in case you need a refresher. In the interest of keeping things as trim as possible, I cut the list off after the Tucson. If I hadn’t, we’d see a Tucson hybrid and plug-in hybrid, much like the trio of Konas. Brevity is not Hyundai’s strong suit.

Since we already mentioned the Creta being available in Mexico, here’s the entirety of Mexico’s SUV roster. And this really is the whole thing at the time of writing — no Venue, no Kona, no Palisade.

Now let’s hop across the pond to the U.K., where you can buy a Kona and Tucson, but not a Venue. Instead, you can get something called a Bayon, which Hyundai U.K. technically classifies as a hatchback. It has a cool dashboard and can be ordered with a manual. It’s these good qualities that, I assume, forbid Hyundai from selling it to Americans. Oh, and as for the Nexo, that’s a weird hydrogen fuel-cell thing. I wasn’t going to count that, but you can if you want; it shares a basis with the Tucson, we get it in the States too, and it starts at $58,000.

Hyundai Bayon In-Depth UK Review - Is it better than the Kona? - OSV​

Hyundai broadens its SUV line-up with a more affordable entry-level model, this car, the Bayon. It takes established engineering from the brand's i20 supermini and delivers it with the trendier crossover vibe that customers for small cars increasingly want.

Plus there's also the advantage of a more sophisticated and more spacious cabin than you'd get with a conventional small hatch. This is a much-copied formula of course, but this Hyundai delivers it with value and a class-leading warranty.

 

New Hyundai Bayon 2023 UK Review – Just a bigger i20? | OSV Car Reviews​

The Hyundai Bayon is the latest and smallest addition to the Korean brand’s European SUV line-up sitting below the larger Kona. Hyundai named it after the French holiday hotspot of Bayonne to show its dedication to meeting the demands of the European market.

So, does it? Well its bold styling, comfortable drive and mild hybrid potential make it an attractive offering.

But it faces many tough rivals in the increasingly competitive small SUV segment like the Ford Puma, Citroen C3 Aircross, Renault Captur, Skoda Kamiq and many more (the list is endless).

Does the Bayon do enough to stand out from the crowd? And is it more than just essentially the SUV equivalent of the i20 supermini? Let’s find out...
