Hyundai in Paris: all-new BAYON, refreshed TUCSON and the electric STARIA Cargo

Hyundai showed three products at the Paris Motor Show on 12 October. It also announced several plans for the brand in Europe.

All-new BAYON

The second-generation BAYON B-SUV adopts a more upright SUV design. Hyundai says it offers more comfort than its class would suggest. A 1.6-litre hybrid with 138 PS will join the range in 2027.

TUCSON for Europe

The European TUCSON and TUCSON N Line get a hybrid with 245 PS, a plug-in hybrid with 292 PS and a new 17-inch central display.

STARIA Cargo goes electric

The van with the most practical appeal is the STARIA Cargo Electric. Hyundai lists:

• an 84 kWh battery and a 160 kW (218 PS) motor;
• up to 450 km WLTP range;
• an 800 V system with 10–80% charging in about 20 minutes;
• 1,040 kg payload, 2,000 kg towing and 5.46 m³ of cargo space.

The bigger picture

Hyundai also confirmed a UEFA Champions League partnership. It plans to invest more than €3 billion in Europe by 2030, and it is exploring a wider rollout with Waymo. The company did not give prices for any of the new cars in Paris.
