Hyundai Bayon (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Striking and unusual design	Uninspired interior design
Spacious and comfortable cabin	Lacks the sliding rear seats fitted to many rivals
Long warranty	Not as well equipped as the Hyundai Kona

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Bayon (2021-present) distinguishes itself with radical, angular styling, though its interior, shared with the i20, features functional but inexpensive-feeling plastics. Despite this, the cabin offers generous headroom and legroom, ensuring a spacious and comfortable experience. While boot space is average for the class, a clever parcel shelf design enhances practicality, making it a well-packaged compact SUV.

Available with 1.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engines (99bhp or 118bhp), the Bayon delivers an unexpectedly fun and agile driving experience, characterized by responsive steering and good grip without an overly firm ride. Real-world fuel economy is competitive, and running costs are kept low thanks to reasonable servicing and a durable timing chain. Overall, it's a well-rounded and affordable package, backed by Hyundai's strong warranty and reputation for reliability.

Best for: Drivers seeking distinctive styling in a compact SUV, buyers prioritizing a spacious and comfortable cabin, and those looking for an engaging driving experience in an affordable and reliable package.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a premium interior feel, those who need the most versatile rear seating (e.g., sliding seats), or drivers prioritizing the largest boot space in the class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Bayon if: You're looking for a compact SUV with distinctive styling, a spacious and comfortable cabin, and an unexpectedly engaging driving experience, all within an affordable and reliable package.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a premium interior feel, require highly versatile rear seating (e.g., sliding seats), or need the largest boot space available in the class.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Bayon is a strong contender in the compact SUV market, offering distinctive styling, a spacious interior, and an unexpectedly engaging driving experience. While its interior plastics may feel less premium and its rear seating lacks the versatility of some rivals, its competitive pricing, long warranty, and low running costs make it a well-rounded and sensible choice. It stands out for its agility and value, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious buyers who still want a fun and reliable small SUV.
