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 with radical styling that sets it apart from rivals. Its snub nose, angular side profile, and boomerang-style rear lights create a distinctive appearance. Inside, the dashboard is shared with the Hyundai i20 hatchback, offering clear layout and easy-to-use infotainment, though materials feel cheap. The cabin is roomy with generous headroom and legroom, though boot space is modest and rear seats don't slide like some competitors. Available in three trims—SE Connect, Premium, and Ultimate—the Bayon offers good value with competitive equipment levels.

Two 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engines with mild hybrid technology are available: 99bhp and 118bhp versions, both with manual or automatic gearbox options. The Bayon surprises with engaging handling, responsive steering, and agile cornering without sacrificing comfort. Real-world fuel economy ranges from 45-50mpg, comparable to rivals. Hyundai's reasonable servicing costs, long warranty, and timing chain (rather than belt) contribute to affordable running costs. Overall, the Bayon is a well-rounded, spacious, and fun-to-drive package that stands out for more than just its distinctive looks.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive compact SUV with spacious interiors, good value, and engaging driving dynamics, plus those valuing Hyundai's warranty and reliability reputation.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising premium interior quality, maximum versatility with sliding rear seats, or the most comprehensive equipment levels in the class.
