Press material

Hyundai Motor Europe, working with its lead agency INNOCEAN Berlin, has announced its “Ready for New Heights” launch campaign. The star of the launch campaign is the all-new Hyundai BAYON. With the launch of its new B-segment SUV, Hyundai adds another member not only to its electrified line-up but to its SUV family as well.

A launch film, directed by the multi-award-winning Tino, serves as the cornerstone of “Ready for New Heights”. The film is complemented by a wide array of assets for digital media, television, print, out of home, point of sale, and social media content. The campaign is set to run across European markets.

Transporting viewers with a visual metaphor

Hyundai and INNOCEAN Berlin portrayed a visual metaphor in the “Ready for New Heights” launch film. The 42-second film transports viewers behind the wheel of the all-new BAYON.

Hyundai took an artistic approach when working on the concept of the launch film for the 'Ready for New Heights' campaign. Because we are introducing a new SUV to Hyundai’s line-up, we wanted to highlight the elevated feeling of sitting high above other drivers on the road. Sitting in the all-new BAYON, our customers will be able to see the world from new and exciting perspectives.

Laura Rathai Director Marketing at Hyundai Motor Europe

The film begins with a young woman walking into a seemingly empty gallery space. As she approaches the centre of the room, the interactive floor installation surprises her, taking her high above the skyscrapers of a sprawling metropolis.

The imagery captures the feeling of sitting higher up in the Hyundai BAYON. To create the illusion, Hyundai connected hundreds of HD LED panels. The resulting massive screen allowed viewers to see and experience the world from a higher point of view.

People love SUVs because they give us a better view onto the road ahead and the world around us. They make us feel taller, safer, and confident behind the wheel. This was the springboard for the launch campaign of the all-new Hyundai BAYON – a compact SUV that will shake up the SUV market and take people and Hyundai to new heights.

Gabriel Mattar European CCO of INNOCEAN Berlin

Connecting campaigns

Further assets were created to build a bridge between the “Ready for New Heights” campaign and the “On to Better” eSUV campaign from 2020. By creating this connection, Hyundai shows that the all-new BAYON is the latest addition to Hyundai’s electrified SUV line-up. Several markets are using these additional assets to communicate Hyundai’s growing SUV family.

A stand-out crossover SUV

The all-new Hyundai BAYON offers features and technologies that help it stand out in the B-SUV segment. Even though it is the smallest member of Hyundai’s SUV family, BAYON still offers customers generous legroom for ride comfort and 411 litres of boot space for added convenience.

BAYON’s best-in-class connectivity equipment differentiates it from competitors in the segment. With a 10.25-inch digital cluster, a 10.25-inch AVN, and a premium BOSE sound system, BAYON is outfitted with some of the most innovative technologies in the crossover SUV segment.

Along with coming in nine exterior colours – include the new launch colour, Mangrove Green, BAYON offers connected car services with the latest version of Hyundai’s Bluelink® technology and LIVE services as well as an extensive list of Hyundai SmartSense safety features.
