Which Hyundai Bayon variant should you buy?
Best value for money: HX 5, at ₹65,000 over the HX 3+. No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.
Above that, the one to think hardest about is HX 6, at ₹1.12L over HX 5. Of the 3 steps above the best-value one, none is worse value for money, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. HX 3+ to HX 5 asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, HX 3+ to HX 5: ₹65,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹67,600 to ₹77,916 on the road. Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
In each of those states we ranked the 6 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
Where the features that matter land
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base HX 2, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety features
- HX 10, from ₹16.65L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
The good news
Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.- Cheapest automatic
- HX 5 Petrol AT, ₹13.85L
- ADAS
- You need the HX 10, from ₹16.65L, for ADAS: ₹6.65L over where the Bayon opens.
- Airbags
- Every Bayon has 6 or more airbags, the base HX 2 included, so there is no step to pay for.
- 360° camera
- You need the HX 8, from ₹15.10L, for a 360 camera: ₹5.10L over where the Bayon opens.
- Sunroof
- You need the HX 3+, from ₹11.80L, for a sunroof: ₹1.80L over where the Bayon opens. Spend ₹1.77L more again, to the HX 6 at ₹13.57L, and that sunroof is panoramic rather than single-pane.
- Ventilated front seats
- You need the HX 8, from ₹15.10L, for ventilated seats: ₹5.10L over where the Bayon opens.
- Cruise control
- You need the HX 5, from ₹12.45L, for cruise control: ₹2.45L over where the Bayon opens.
