Hyundai Bayon 2021 UK review

Hyundai’s second compact crossover hatchback is simpler and more sensible than the Kona, but none the worse for it. Unexciting but practical, refined and complete The compact crossover is now doing such good business for the European car industry that several of the big players have decided they need not one but two of them in their showrooms; and so the apparently never-ending conveyer belt of new cars like these looks set to find a second gear. Whoopee.To those of us who find these cars about as interesting as freshly daubed matt emulsion on plasterboard, this news may be somewhat unwelcome. But facts are facts; and if you need a smallish family car that’s affordable, spacious, versatile, convenient, comfortable, well equipped and easy to drive, this is the class in which it's easiest to find one.The new Hyundai Bayon will certainly give you all of that. Think of this as the new, slightly more practical, servile sidekick of Hyundai’s Kona, if you will – a Crossland to the Kona’s Mokka, or an Ecosport rather than a Puma rival.
