Hyundai Bayon: Exterior, and Interior
rn
Hyundai Bayon ExteriorrnrnBayon shares its mounts with the latest i20 but has a unique exterior design very similar to the recently updated
Kona. These include subtle DRL lights and arrow-shaped headlights. The arrow-shaped look also continues on the back, which has a similar design.rnrnThe Hyundai Bayon SUV has strong shoulder lines to the sides, but the tapered roofline gives it a crossover look. Heavy-duty coating throughout and faux-slip panels at the front and back give it a more solid look. The Bayon doesn't come with any four- or four-wheel drive gears and is still a front-wheel-drive vehicle, just like the
i20.rnrnHyundai Bayon has a very familiar interior, and most of it is a direct lift from the i20. This includes the dash, switches, all-black steering wheel, and even the 10.25-inch screen.rnrn
