The Hyundai Bayon is a new addition to the Hyundai family of SUVs. It is a compact crossover that combines style, practicality, and efficiency. The Bayon is designed to appeal to young and urban customers who value a dynamic and modern lifestyle.
What Makes the Bayon Stand Out?
The Hyundai Bayon crossover SUV is named after Bayonne, a beautiful and vibrant city in the south of France. The name reflects the European identity and character of the car, which is tailored to the needs and preferences of the European market.
The Bayon has a distinctive and eye-catching exterior design that sets it apart from other SUVs. Some of the highlights include:
- A sensuous and sporty body shape that expresses Hyundai's design philosophy of "Sensuous Sportiness".
- A unique front grille that features a three-dimensional pattern and a wide air intake.
- A split headlamp design that creates a futuristic and high-tech look. The daytime running lights (DRLs) are shaped like arrows and integrated with the air curtains, while the main lamps are positioned separately below.
- A sleek and coupe-like roofline enhances the aerodynamics and the car's sportiness.
- A bold and angular rear design features arrow-shaped brake lights connected by a thin red line. The rear bumper also has a diffuser and a skid plate that add to the ruggedness and stability of the car.
- A wide and spacious interior that offers a comfortable and premium experience for the driver and the passengers. The Bayon has a best-in-class boot space of 411 liters, which can be expanded to 1,205 liters by folding the rear seats. The Bayon also has a generous headroom and legroom, as well as a flat floor that allows for easy access and exit.
- A digital and connected cockpit with a 10.25-inch digital cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen display. The Bayon also supports wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Hyundai's Bluelink-connected car services. The Bayon also has a wireless phone charger, a rearview camera, and a Bose premium sound system.
What Makes the Bayon Safe and Smart?
The Bayon is not only stylish and practical but also safe and smart. The Bayon is equipped with Hyundai's SmartSense advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which offer a range of features that enhance the safety and convenience of the driver and the passengers. Some of the features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): This feature uses a front camera and a radar sensor to detect potential collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or junctions. It warns the driver and applies the brakes if necessary.
- Lane Following Assist (LFA): This feature helps the driver stay in the center of the lane by providing steering assistance. It works at speeds between 0 and 180 km/h (0 and 112 mph).
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA): This feature recognizes speed limit signs and displays them on the cluster. It also warns the driver if they exceed the speed limit.
- Driver Attention Warning (DAW): This feature monitors the driver's attention and fatigue levels by analyzing their steering patterns and driving time. It alerts the driver and suggests a break if needed.
- High Beam Assist (HBA): This feature automatically switches between high and low beams depending on the traffic and lighting conditions.
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW): This feature warns the driver of vehicles in the blind spot by using radar sensors on the rear bumper. It also activates the brakes if the driver attempts to change lanes when there is a risk of collision.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA): This feature helps the driver avoid collisions with cross-traffic when reversing out of a parking spot. It uses the rear camera and the radar sensors to detect approaching vehicles and applies the brakes if necessary.
- Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA): This feature prevents the car from hitting obstacles when parking by using ultrasonic sensors on the front and rear bumpers. It warns the driver and applies the brakes if necessary.
