2021 Hyundai Bayon breaks cover in Europe Alvin Reyes - Mar 3, 2021, 2:57am CST No, you’re not looking at the new Hyundai Kona. Instead, what you’re seeing is the 2021 Hyundai Bayon, the South Korean automaker’s most recent and smallest B-segment crossover for Europe. Drawing its name from the French capital of Bayonne (one of the most scenic destinations in south-west France), Bayon offers a compact footprint, numerous connectivity services, and a string of peppy yet fuel-efficient powerplants. “As the SUV body type continues growing in popularity throughout the world, Hyundai saw a demand for a model capable of navigating European cities while providing enough space to meet customer’s needs,” said Andreas- Christoph Hofmann, Vice President of Marketing & Product at Hyundai Motor Europe.
