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) is a compact SUV designed to stand out with its radical styling. Based on the i20 supermini, it shares an easy-to-use but rather plasticky dashboard. Inside, it’s a roomy and comfortable car for passengers in both the front and rear, and the infotainment system is responsive and straightforward. However, its boot is smaller than key rivals and it lacks the versatile sliding rear seats found in competitors like the Renault Captur and Citroen C3 Aircross, limiting its overall practicality.

Power comes from a choice of 1.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engines, and the car is surprisingly fun and agile to drive without feeling overly firm or uncomfortable. Running costs are competitive, with real-world fuel economy of around 45-50mpg, and maintenance is helped by the engine’s timing chain and Hyundai’s excellent five-year warranty. While the interior quality may disappoint some, the Bayon is a well-rounded, spacious, and affordable package that offers more than just distinctive looks.

Best for: Drivers who want standout styling, an engaging driving experience, and the peace of mind that comes with a long warranty.

Not ideal for: Buyers who prioritise premium cabin materials, maximum boot space, or the practicality of features like sliding rear seats.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Bayon if: You want a stylish, fun-to-drive small SUV and value the peace of mind that comes with a long manufacturer warranty.

Consider alternatives if: A high-quality interior and the most practical, versatile boot are more important to you than distinctive styling.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Bayon is a compelling contender that stands out in the crowded small SUV market thanks to its unique design and enjoyable handling. While rivals like the VW T-Cross feel more premium inside and the Renault Captur offers superior practicality, the Bayon’s blend of passenger space, affordable running costs, and an industry-leading warranty makes it a highly attractive and sensible choice.
