Common questions

Which Hyundai Bayon variant gives you the most equipment for the money?
The HX8 1.5 Petrol MT. It costs ₹5,10,000 more than the base HX2 1.5 Petrol MT, and adds 26 features we value at ₹3,50,000 — the most equipment per rupee of any upgrade on this car — which is a measurement, not a recommendation.
How many variants does the Hyundai Bayon have?
11 across 2 powertrains (Petrol manual, Petrol IVT), from ₹9,99,900 to ₹17,99,900 ex-showroom.
Is it better to buy a lower trim and add accessories afterwards?
It depends on what you're after. Cosmetic items — alloy wheels, seat covers, infotainment screens — can usually be fitted afterwards. Safety and structural equipment such as additional airbags, ESC, ADAS and a factory sunroof generally cannot be retrofitted, so if you want those they have to come from the factory.
