Hyundai Bayon vs Kia Sonet Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Hyundai Bayon starts at ₹10.00 L and the Kia Sonet at ₹7.41 L, a difference of ₹2.59 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹2.87 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The Hyundai Bayon uses a 1,497cc Petrol making 113.18bhp@6300rpm and listed torque with Manual. The Kia Sonet uses a 1,493cc Diesel/Petrol making 114bhp@4000rpm,118bhp@6000rpm and listed torque with Automatic/Manual.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Hyundai Bayon number is for the Petrol Manual and the Kia Sonet number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

Space and practicality: The Hyundai Bayon takes 505 litres against 385, about 120 litres more. That is roughly one extra cabin-size bag of extra room.

What one gives that the other does not: The Hyundai Bayon adds Petrol Mileage ARAI, Petrol Fuel Tank Capacity, Steering Gear Type, Height Adjustable Front Seat Belts and Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel. The Kia Sonet adds Brake Assist, Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbag and Curtain Airbag. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Kia Sonet if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹2.59 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Hyundai Bayon if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Engine Type without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Hyundai Bayon offers Petrol Mileage ARAI.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
