All versions of the Bayon are powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine with 48V mild hybrid technology. The turbocharged three-cylinder unit will be offered in either 99bhp or 118bhp tunes, both of which will be offered with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic or a six-speed manual. The manual features an electronically controlled clutch that can decouple the engine and transmission to improve efficiency under certain driving conditions.

Entry level SE Connect cars are only available with the 99bhp engine, with prices starting at £20,295 for the manual and £21,545 for the automatic. All SE Connect cars get 16-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, spoiler, LED daytime running lamps, air conditioning, cruise control, rear parking sensors with rear view camera, an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.

Starting at £22,495, the Premium adds 17-inch alloys, privacy glass, heated front seats and steering wheel, automatic climate control, LED headlamps and tail lights, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with live sat nav, and a wireless phone charging pad for compatible devices and height adjustable front seatbelts. Premium models are also available with the higher output engine.
