    Hyundai broadens its SUV line-up with a more affordable entry-level model, this car, the Bayon. It takes established engineering from the brand's i20 supermini and delivers it with the trendier crossover vibe that customers for small cars increasingly want. Plus there's also the advantage of a more sophisticated and more spacious cabin than you'd get with a conventional small hatch. This is a much-copied formula of course, but this Hyundai delivers it with value and a class-leading warranty.

    35:56 Summary
    Background
    Small SUVs used to cost relatively small amounts of money. Most of them no longer do. Which has created a vacuum into which budget priced Crossover models can enter the market - cars like this one, the Hyundai Bayon.
    Basically, it's a Crossover version of the brand's i20 supermini. The previous generation i20 included an 'Active'-spec model in its line-up to meet this need, but that was nothing more than an i20 with roof rails and a bit of body cladding. The Bayon is a proper purpose-designed SUV positioned in Hyundai's line-up just below the Korean brand's most well established small SUV, the Kona. With this Bayon, you can own this kind of car at close-to-supermini pricing. If that sounds attractive, read on.
    Driving Experience
    As with the i20 supermini, the range is primarily built around a 1.0-litre turbocharged T-GDi petrol turbo three cylinder engine offering either 100PS or 120 PS and equipped with 48V mild hybrid electrification. This powerplant can be matched either with the brand's clever 6-speed 'iMT' Intelligent Manual Transmission or a 7-speed dual clutch DCT automatic gearbox.
    Both versions of the petrol engine have the same torque output - 172Nm. The 100PS variant takes 10.7 seconds to reach 62mph with manual transmission - or a second longer as a DCT automatic. The 120PS derivative is three-tenths of a second quicker to 62mph with either transmission fitted. As usual with mild hybrid technology, the difference this makes out on the road is difficult to feel; there's a fraction more mid-range throttle response; and the start/stop system cuts in a little earlier at urban speeds. That's about it. Whatever your choice of engine, you get three selectable driving modes - 'Eco', 'Normal' or 'Sport' - with the latter offering a rev matching function for the iMT manual gearbox. That iMT set-up allows the car to enter into two possible levels of coasting depending on the conditions, the first leaving the engine idling and the second turning it off completely, though it will of course spring to life again the moment your foot touches the throttle.
    Design and Build
    The Bayon is much closer in size to a supermini than its Kona SUV showroom stablemate. At 4,180mm long and 1,775mm wide, its dimensions are certainly compact, making this Hyundai slightly smaller, not only than the Kona but also than obvious rivals like Ford's Puma and Renault's Captur. The so-called 'Sensuous Sportiness' design language used here ensures for a reasonably overt dose of pavement presence though and a higher than average ride height of 183mm means the Bayon looks a little more SUV-like than some of its competitors. There are sharp creases on the flanks and lighting is a key theme, with angled headlamps placed below slim running lights, with arrow-shaped tail lamps at the back. Contrasting skid plates front and rear and black lower body cladding provide the necessary crossover cues.
    Inside up-front, a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel is standard and a centre dash touchscreen of the same size can be specified as an upgrade over the normal 8-inch display. The rear seat reaps the benefit of a relatively long 2,580mm wheelbase, which allows back seat folk 882mm of legroom. As for the cargo area, well there's a 411-litre boot, which can be extended to 1,205-litres with the split-folding rear bench pushed right flat.

    Had one as a loaner, spot on regarding the steering rack, feels like it's on Morphine, can't feel a thing through the steering wheel, no idea what the tyres were doing.
    The engine is very noisy and sounds like an old lawnmower.
    If you're serious about buying one, I wouldn't consider anything less than the top of range model. You want all the toys you can get at this price point.
    To be fair, I loved the cabin, especially the ambient lighting. Seats are nothing special, the do the job, but there's no option for lumbar adjustment. The rear seats are for kids, not adults, don't even try.
    I've always been a fan of Hyundai's infotainment systems, very simple and easy to navigate, this one is very straightforward, didn't even need to refer to the manual.
    Five year warranty is great, and you'll need it, this little car has Range Rover reliability written all over it. Way too many electronics and gadgets, mild hybrid just means massive bills.

    Thanks for this review. It was just what I needed as I'm researching compact hybrid vehicles. I actually prefer the look of the Bayon to the Ioniq, and it seems a bit more practical.
    I'm also interested in the 'Mocean' idea that Hyundai offer, which is like PCP except more flexible (with servicing, tax and roadside assistance included), and there's no deposit or final payment. This saves thousands, assuming that vehicle ownership is not required. I'll have a look at a Bayon in the next few days and report back.
    I'm confused by this: "BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A HYUNDAI BAYON FROM OSV". The link just goes to the video itself. I was expecting it to go to an offer page of some sort. Do you actually arrange finance and leasing?

      The flaw with car design is people who are convinced they can improve on perfection. You can't. All you end up doing is breaking things creating more driver distraction and 'load'.

    I don't really understand why mild hybrid systems never seemed to surface. The 48v battery in this car probably doesn't cost much more then £500. Not sure how much cost it adds to the car though.

    Had the Premium Bayon as a loan car whilst my i20 16 plate was having new front discs fitted.
    Drove from dealer to home, 20 miles. 55mpg, then to the shopping park and Harvester for lunch and back to the dealer. 46mpg
    I liked everything except it felt slugish pulling away, the car was in Eco all the time so probably explains that. Everything else as per the review I liked.
    Ride was a bit better, but then the Bayon has 17" rims compared to 15", Contiental rubber v Michelin rubber.
    Braking was on the button, I could feel the car brake system work, it may pulled the seat belt slightly as well.
    The car had 70 miles left, my return journey put 55 miles left. Put in 5l and took the remaining mileage up to 101miles left. Bang on with the fuel consumption display 46.2mpg - 10mpg more than my i20 with the same engine and nil car tax. 1.7 mpg less than my previous 02 Octavia diesel.
    More mpg v Car Tax at £180.
    Downside, by 16 yr old loved it and want me to have one.

      Prefer traditional handbrake. It's linear rather than digital has feel so you know it is on rather than having to trust it is on. You don't need a computer and £££ to change brake pads, there is no algorithm or electronics to go wrong, and if your battery goes flat your brakes lock on so you cannot bump start it. A lever is far more intuitive, simple, fun and sensible.
