Doesn't come in mild hybrid in Denmark. I liked the smaller family car i20 but I want more room without breaking the bank. Could be a reasonable choice.
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.
Hi there, I was just watching your Suzuki jimny video and was wondering where abouts the off-road course was that you filmed at? Many thanks, and yet another great video!
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.
Tiresome level of complexity. At about 30mins saw shaking drivers seat (engine at idle?). Reminds me that I was not impressed with 3 cylinder i30 I drove. Vibrated like a diesel, especially from cold.
Sorry to hear that you found the review tiresome Jeremy. We have a shorter version of this review going up in the new year 👍 Be sure to ring the bell icon above to get notified when it goes live!
@@rivervalegroup you misunderstand. Review is fine. The complexity or car designs is tiresome to me. I prefer simplicity not 'lets pack it full of features that are never used and multiple computers, Remove as many often used intuitive easy to use buttons and knobs as possible'..All worshipping at the alter of car fashion. 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'. Your reviews are actually pretty great.👍
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?

Hyundai missed a trick with this car! Wanted a replacement for my IX20 and this car isn't it.Height of car reduced and seating position much too low,don't think this Hyundai will be a big seller!
It will be interesting to see how well the Bayon sells. Are you looking to stick with Hyundai for your next vehicle?

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.
@@rivervalegroup actually what i meant was i wouldnt consider a 3 cylinder car. Had nothing to do with review which as always i find very comprehensive
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.
Would you BUY a Hyundai BAYon? 🤔
It not for me
Thinking about it!!

Yes probably as a good package for the money.
Just bought it yesterday 😀

They have now removed the battery /mild version. Now petrol only.
Great review as usual thanks.

Great reviews well put over and very unbiased thanks.
Thanks Dave, we aim to provide the most comprehensive and unbiased reviews out there so that's great to hear 👍
The lane assistance can best be turned of in suburbia, then the stearing will turn light as should.
An interesting and attractive car. Would have liked to have seen a more innovative interior, similar to the Jazz or the Casper. Good review.
Thank you for watching Colin 👍 Be sure to subscribe for more in-depth vehicle reviews bit.ly/319ZKoT
What’s the residual value for the Kona? Would be interesting for the comparison.
I love your informative reviews. Please review the new Renault Arkana.

No spare wheel = no sale to me. A pity I love the manula handbrake and 6 speed gear lever.
I just bought 6 manual, 4 cylindars, Premium package with spare wheel and 1.4 MPI engine pure petrol... 🥰
Had the Premium Bayon as a loan car whilst my i20 16 plate was having new front discs fitted.

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience Steve. Would you consider getting one as your next car?
It is not a Byon it is a Bayon! Bay-on !
Thanks Sidney, pronunciation has never been our strong suit 😅
Greatttt

No, i20 had clutch problems for years
No they didn't
Oh dear. Lost me at 3 cylinder
Hi Peter, we have a shorter 7-minute version of this review if you'd prefer to watch that 👍 ruclips.net/video/Yg0Qu86z26U/видео.html
@@rivervalegroup actually what i meant was i wouldnt consider a 3 cylinder car. Had nothing to do with review which as always i find very comprehensive
Do yourself a favour and buy a Kia Xceed instead.
What puts you off the Bayon, Bill?
Thanks for the nice review but this car is unattractive and unimpressive, and certainly will sell marginally
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Which other cars do you have your eye on?
@@rivervalegroup I'd say Juke, Capture, XCeed!
@@behzadutube Wahahaha. Juke? Capture? Obviously you don't have any idea about cars.
Strange how they can't get enough. 6 months wait.
Interior quality & traditional handbrake make it a no for me.
Are you looking for a new car at the moment Nicky?
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.

I’ve seen this in the flesh - what an utter mess of design - dreadful
What don't you like about the design, Petrillo?
