10:39 — Hyundai Bayon Launch LIVE Updates: Dash Boost Mode and Paddle Shifters
The Hyundai Bayon’s CVT transmission will feature Dash Boost Mode, designed to sharpen throttle and powertrain response during overtaking. This feature aims to provide quick acceleration response, especially when the driver needs to overtake a vehicle on the highway.
In addition, the Bayon will feature paddle shifters and three drive modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport. These modes will give drivers the flexibility to adjust powertrain response to different driving conditions. Eco mode is suitable for efficiency-focused driving, while Sport mode can be useful for more responsive performance.
