Like the idea of an SUV but don't actually need a large one?
The Hyundai BAYON could be exactly what you're looking for.
Designed specifically as a compact crossover, the BAYON combines manageable exterior dimensions with a higher seating position, spacious interior and surprisingly generous luggage capacity.
It's easy to manoeuvre around town, comfortable enough for longer journeys and practical enough to cope with everyday family life.
Think of it as the best bits of a small hatchback and compact SUV brought together.
The BAYON certainly isn't short on personality.
Its refreshed exterior features Hyundai's distinctive Seamless Horizon Lamp, with LED daytime running lights stretching across the front to create a modern lighting signature.
Sharp body lines, a wide grille and distinctive arrow-shaped rear lights give the BAYON a strong identity, while SUV-inspired wheelarch cladding and body detailing reinforce its crossover character.
Depending on specification, stylish alloy wheels and contrasting exterior details add even more visual impact.
One of the BAYON's biggest attractions is its elevated seating position. You get the more upright view of the road that many drivers enjoy in an SUV, but without having to manoeuvre a much larger vehicle. That makes the BAYON particularly easy to live with around town, on narrower roads and in busy car parks. The higher seating position can also make getting in and out easier – something that can be particularly appealing if you're moving away from a lower hatchback.
The BAYON keeps its engine choice straightforward.
Its 1.0-litre T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine produces 90PS, providing a useful balance of efficiency and everyday performance.
Choose from a 6-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), depending on model.
The manual keeps things simple and familiar, while the DCT provides the convenience of automatic gear changes – particularly useful for drivers who spend plenty of time in stop-start traffic.
The BAYON may be compact on the outside, but Hyundai has made clever use of the space inside.
There's comfortable room for passengers in both the front and rear, while the elevated seating position helps create a spacious, open feeling.
And then there's the boot.
With 411 litres of luggage capacity, the BAYON offers an impressive amount of carrying space for a compact crossover.
That's plenty for the weekly shop, luggage, pushchairs and everyday family essentials.
Fold the rear seats when you need additional carrying capacity and there's even more flexibility available.
Step inside and the BAYON feels considerably more grown-up than its compact dimensions might suggest.
The modern dashboard incorporates dual 10.25-inch displays, combining a digital instrument cluster with a large central touchscreen.
Depending on specification, features include:
It's an impressive amount of technology in such a compact package.
BAYON Black Line combines generous standard equipment with distinctive black styling details.
Highlights include:
Black Line gives the BAYON a smart, distinctive appearance while including some particularly useful comfort features for everyday driving.
Tech Line builds on the BAYON's technology-focused character with additional premium equipment.
Highlights include:
For drivers who want maximum technology and comfort from their compact crossover, Tech Line provides the most comprehensive BAYON specification.
The i20 and BAYON have quite a lot in common, so it's perfectly reasonable to wonder which one is right for you. The Hyundai i20 is a conventional hatchback with a lower seating position and sporty road-car feel. The Hyundai BAYON adds crossover styling, a more elevated driving position and additional luggage capacity. With its 411-litre boot, the BAYON also provides more carrying space than the i20's 352-litre luggage compartment.
So, if you like the manageable size of a small hatchback but would prefer to sit a little higher and have more room in the boot, the BAYON could be the better fit.
If you want an SUV-style Hyundai but don't need a large vehicle, you might also be considering the KONA.
The BAYON is the more compact choice.
It's particularly well suited to drivers who prioritise easy manoeuvrability, straightforward petrol power and a raised seating position without moving into a larger SUV.
The KONA moves things up in size and offers a wider choice of electrified powertrains, including Hybrid and fully electric options.
Which is best simply depends on how much space you need and how you want to power your car.
The BAYON also makes a particularly interesting choice if you're moving out of a larger SUV.
You retain that useful elevated seating position and good visibility but gain a car that's considerably easier to manoeuvre and park.
There's still room for five and an impressively practical boot, so downsizing doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing the everyday features you actually use.
For many drivers, the BAYON could simply be all the SUV they really need.
The BAYON comes with an extensive selection of Hyundai SmartSense safety and driver-assistance technology.
Depending on specification, features include:
These systems are designed to provide additional support whether you're navigating busy urban roads or heading further afield.
Every new Hyundai BAYON comes with Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, providing valuable long-term reassurance.
It's another reason the BAYON makes an appealing choice for drivers looking for a practical and easy-to-own compact crossover.
Compact dimensions, a higher driving position and an impressively practical interior make the Hyundai BAYON an excellent alternative to both a traditional hatchback and a larger SUV.
Its 90PS turbocharged petrol engine, 411-litre boot and dual 10.25-inch displays give you plenty of substance behind the distinctive styling.
Choose from Black Line and Tech Line specifications, with manual and automatic transmission options available.
