Segment
Small SUV
Hyundai's small-SUV companion to the i20 — based on the same platform, raised, with crossover styling. Petrol-only in the UK: 1.0 T-GDi 100 / 120 with 48V mild hybrid, six-speed iMT (intelligent manual) or seven-speed DCT auto. Aimed at the cheap, sensible end of the small-SUV market — sub-£20k starting prices on launch. No 4×4, no PHEV, no full EV. The Bayon is what you buy when you want an i20 that sits 60 mm taller.
