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 that stands out from the crowd with its radical styling, featuring a distinctive snub nose, angular side profile, and boomerang-style rear lights. Based on the Hyundai i20 hatchback, it shares the same dashboard, which is clearly laid out and easy to use, though built from cheap-feeling plastics. The interior is roomy with plenty of headroom and legroom, though boot space is modest and rear seats don't slide like some rivals. Available with two 1.0-litre turbo petrol engines (99bhp or 118bhp) paired with manual or automatic gearboxes, the Bayon is surprisingly engaging to drive with responsive steering, good grip, and agile handling.

Real-world fuel economy sits around 45-50mpg, roughly on par with rivals. Hyundai's servicing costs are very reasonable, with affordable menu servicing available after the warranty expires. The timing chain won't need replacing for the car's lifetime, keeping long-term maintenance costs down. With competitive pricing, a long warranty, and an excellent reliability reputation, the Bayon offers a well-rounded package that's spacious, comfortable, and fun to drive, despite its uninspired interior and smaller boot space compared to some competitors.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive compact SUV with striking design, spacious interior, and good value; those prioritising Hyundai's warranty and reliability reputation; drivers wanting engaging handling in the segment.

Not ideal for: Those wanting premium interior quality, maximum boot space, or sliding rear seats; buyers seeking the most upmarket feel in the compact SUV class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Bayon if: You want a distinctive compact SUV with striking design, spacious interior, and good value; you prioritise Hyundai's warranty and reliability; you seek engaging handling in the segment.

Consider alternatives if: You want premium interior quality, maximum boot space, sliding rear seats, or the most upmarket feel in the compact SUV class.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Bayon is a well-rounded compact SUV that stands out for its striking design and spacious, comfortable cabin. Whilst rivals like the Renault Captur and Volkswagen T-Cross offer smarter interiors and more upmarket feel, the Bayon's competitive pricing, long warranty, excellent reliability reputation, and engaging driving dynamics make it a compelling choice. It delivers surprising fun on back roads whilst maintaining comfort and practicality, making it an excellent value proposition for buyers seeking something different from the crowd.
