Verdict
Petit SUV urbain au coffre de 411 litres, noté 4 étoiles à Euro NCAP en 2021. Deux rappels de sécurité visent certains exemplaires (pompe à carburant produite entre avril 2021 et décembre 2022, boîte DCT7 produite entre mars 2023 et janvier 2024) : exigez la preuve de leur réalisation. Les retours publiés restent peu nombreux (six avis sur Fiches-auto) et plusieurs propriétaires jugent la micro-hybridation 48 V inefficace.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 3 October 2025 — La roue qui aspire le carburant et l'envoie au moteur entre en contact avec les parois extérieures de la pompe à carburant en raison de l'enflure / expansion causée par le fonctionnement à des températures élevées et par le carburant, ce qui peut entraîner une perte de puissance du moteur et l'arrêt du véhicule, augmentant le risque de blessures. Official notice
- 3 June 2025 — Une erreur peut se produire dans la boîte de vitesses à double embrayage ou dans l'unité de commande de la boîte de vitesses. Cela peut conduire à une décélération involontaire, créant un risque d'accidents et de blessures. Official notice

Inspection checklist
Hyundai Bayon I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire Hyundai, que le rappel de la pompe à carburant (production 2021-2022) a été réalisé.
- Sur une boîte DCT7 produite entre mars 2023 et janvier 2024, exiger la preuve de la reprogrammation du rappel de mai 2025.
- Essayer la boîte automatique en ville : plusieurs avis signalent des hésitations.
- Tester la batterie 12 V et le démarrage à froid, surtout sur les exemplaires 48 V de 2022.
- Contrôler les amortisseurs arrière et l'état des joints de portière.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel de la pompe à carburant a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation du concessionnaire ?
- Pour la boîte DCT7, la reprogrammation du rappel de 2025 a-t-elle été faite ?
- La batterie 12 V ou les amortisseurs arrière ont-ils déjà été remplacés ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
