Hyundai is entering the small crossover segment with its new Bayon model, based on the i20.

Set to rival the likes of the Citroen C3 Aircross, Ford Puma and Renault Captur, the Bayon will be priced from £20,295.

It shares some distinctive styling cues with the recently-launched Tucson and incorporates the slim LED running lights from other models in the line-up.

All Bayon models will be powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. which combines with a 48v Mild Hybrid system. A choice of 100PS or 120PS power outputs will be offered, along with a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures for the Bayon have not been published yet, but Hyundai says the new model will sit in the 27-28% benefit-in-kind tax bracket.

Three trim levels will be offered: SE Connect, Premium and Ultimate.

SE Connect is only available with the 100PS powertrain. It features 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, rear parking sensors with rear view camera, eight-inch display audio with DAB, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.

Premium grade adds 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, heated front seats and steering wheel, climate control, LED headlamps, electric folding door mirrors, a 10.25-inch Touchscreen satnav and a wireless charging pad.

The Ultimate introduces black gloss door mirrors, standard two tone black roof, keyless entry, Bose sound system, Blind Spot Collison Warning and Lane Follow Assist (LFA).
