After some teasing, the Hyundai Bayon has made its debut in the European market with an engine line-up that mirrors that of the Hyundai i20 N Line; a 1.0 litre T-GDI direct-injection with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance in 120 PS and 100 PS states of tune, the same engine without the mild-hybrid electrification and a naturally aspirated 1.2 litre MPi petrol engine producing 84 PS.
The range-topping mild-hybrid petrol unit can be paired with either the automaker’s six-speed intelligent manual transmission (iMT) or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, while the purely internal combustion 1.0 litre T-GDI engine can be paired with either a conventional six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The NA 1.2 litre MPi engine comes paired with a five-speed manual.

This is the all-new Hyundai Bayon, a crossover that may signal the fact we’re not talking about a conventional way of developing or upgrading a brand’s range of models anymore. The car looks damn good, yet it seems the Koreans made it just because they could and had enough resources to do it. That said, the Hyundai Bayon’s dimensions are almost identical to those of the already known Hyundai Kona. And no, it is not a case of the Bayon replacing the Kona.
