Hyundai Motor has announced the start of production for the all-new BAYON at its production plant in Izmit, Turkey.
The all-new BAYON was inspired by and designed for the diverse and unique streets of Europe. Named after Bayonne, a seaside town nestled in the French Basque country and a popular holiday destination, the all-new Hyundai BAYON will establish itself as a unique entry in the growing European SUV segment. The smallest member of Hyundai’s SUV family, BAYON is the latest model to showcase Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design identity, defined by the harmony between proportion, architecture, styling and technology. This interpretation of Sensuous Sportiness combines emotional values with innovative solutions.
BAYON stands out for its large amount of storage space, advanced connectivity technology, and Hyundai Smartsense safety features. It is also the latest model available with Hyundai’s signature 48-volt mild hybrid technology (48V) with intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) for improved fuel efficiency.
BAYON will arrive in showrooms in Europe starting summer 2021.
