Is a second-hand Hyundai Bayon a good car?

The Bayon is Hyundai’s answer to the likes of the Ford Puma, Nissan Juke, and VW T-Cross. It’s a compact SUV — really a hatchback wearing notional hiking boots — which gives you a little taste of that SUV style for not a lot of money.

Inside, things are all a bit more conventional than on the outside. The cabin is basically that of the i20, so you get neatly integrated infotainment and instrument touchscreens, but some of the quality isn’t really up to snuff.

At launch, the Bayon came with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard, while pricier models got a bigger, fancier 10.3-inch screen. Both are fine, and the underlying software is actually pretty simple and easy to use.

The Bayon really scores in the back seats, where headroom and legroom are very decent. The penalty for that rear seat space is that the boot is quite small by the standards of this class.

The Bayon is best kept in town, where the soft suspension plays its best tunes, making bumps and speed humps just go away. The light steering makes parking and mini roundabouts a doddle.

On a twistier road, the Bayon is fine but nothing special, so if driving pleasure is your bag, then check out the Ford Puma instead.

What to look for when buying a used Hyundai Bayon

The Bayon’s a pretty new design, and even the older versions will still have a little of their original five-year, unlimited mileage warranty yet to run, so if any issues do make themselves known, there’s the reassurance of that cover. There aren’t any reports of major problems for the Bayon, but the i20 on which it’s based has had occasional reports of issues with the mild hybrid system which can sometimes drain the 12-volt battery leading to diagnostic alarms or starting issues. Keep an eye on the clutch in the manual versions too, as part of the mechanism is plastic and prone to snapping.

Hyundai Bayon FAQs

Is the Hyundai Bayon a good car?

It would be fairer to say that the Bayon is middling. It’s solidly built and reliable, and roomy in the cabin but the boot is small and some of the interior feels cheap.

Is the Hyundai Bayon a hybrid?

The Bayon is a mild hybrid, which basically means that it has a more powerful stop-start system which keeps the engine powered off when you’re sitting in traffic. It helps with urban fuel economy, but it’s not as versatile as a full hybrid.

Is the Hyundai Bayon an SUV?

The Bayon looks like an SUV, with chunky styling and a slightly raised seating position, but really it’s just an i20 hatchback with hiking boots on. Don’t try and take it off-road.

Is the Hyundai Bayon bigger than the Hyundai Kona?

No, it’s smaller. The Bayon is much smaller than the current Hyundai Kona, launched in 2023, and is slightly smaller than the older Kona.

Is the Hyundai Bayon self-charging?

Yes, in the sense that its mild hybrid system doesn’t have any external power connections, but calling it a hybrid is a bit of a stretch — a mild hybrid is really just a glorified stop-start system.
