The Hyundai Bayon HX8 CVT costs Rs. 35,900 more than the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder G (O) petrol AT. Both SUVs offer a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and wireless phone charging. The Bayon adds a 360-degree camera, a powered driver seat and a factory-fitted dashcam. The Hyryder counters with an auto-dimming mirror, rear sunshades and lower claimed fuel consumption. We compare their prices, equipment and running costs to see which SUV makes more sense for you.

The Bayon HX8 CVT costs Rs. 16,53,900, while the Hyryder G (O) petrol AT costs Rs. 16,18,000. The Hyundai SUV is Rs. 35,900 more expensive:
*The Bayon’s price is introductory.
The Hyundai Bayon and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder offer several of the same major comfort features at this budget. The decision between these particular versions comes down to the Bayon’s additional equipment and the Hyryder’s lower purchase price and fuel expenses.
A panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats are available in both SUVs. Their shared equipment also includes cruise control, paddle shifters, automatic AC and a wireless phone charger:
The following table lists the main equipment differences:
The table compares standard equipment. The Hyryder’s G (O) variant gets a rear parking camera, while the Bayon’s 360-degree camera provides views around the SUV. The Hyundai also adds front and side parking sensors, making its parking assistance more comprehensive. Its powered driver seat provides electric adjustment, while leatherette upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel distinguish its cabin from the Toyota’s.
The Hyryder’s auto-dimming mirror reduces glare from vehicles behind without requiring the driver to flip a switch. Rear passengers get built-in sunshades and an additional USB-C charging port. Its premium audio system and air-quality display are further equipment advantages.
Toyota also offer a dashcam through their optional accessory Tech Package. It is not included in the G (O)’s standard equipment or the price compared here. Neither SUV gets a head-up display as standard in these versions.
Both SUVs use 1.5L non-turbo petrol engines with 4 cylinders. The Hyryder additionally gets mild-hybrid assistance.
Their automatic transmissions differ: the Bayon uses a CVT, while the Hyryder gets a 6-speed torque-converter automatic.
Here’s how their specifications compare:
The Hyryder’s mild-hybrid system assists the petrol engine, recovers energy during deceleration and supports automatic engine stop-start. Its claimed mileage is 1.98kmpl higher than the Bayon’s. At these figures, the Toyota would consume approximately 9.6 percent less petrol over the same distance.
Delhi’s petrol price is Rs. 102.12/litre on November 2, 2026. Using this price and the claimed mileage figures gives the following monthly fuel expenses:
Costs and savings are rounded independently to the nearest rupee. These calculations use claimed mileage; actual expenses depend on the mileage achieved.
At 1500km a month, the Hyryder’s estimated petrol saving works out to approximately Rs. 9,500 a year.
The Toyota therefore starts Rs. 35,900 cheaper and also has the lower estimated fuel expense. Buyers choosing the Bayon should consider whether its additional equipment justifies both the higher purchase price and the difference in running costs.
The Hyryder is 120mm longer and 40mm taller. The Bayon is 15mm wider, while both SUVs have the same wheelbase:
#Hyundai claim a 505L boot capacity for the Bayon with no spare tyre fitted. The HX8 CVT comes with a spare tyre, and Hyundai have not published its boot capacity separately.
*Toyota do not quote a boot-capacity figure.
A spare tyre offered as standard is a practical advantage for the Bayon. A puncture repair kit has more limited use, particularly when a tyre suffers a sidewall cut or major damage.
The Bayon’s shorter body should make it easier to accommodate in a restricted parking space. Its 360-degree camera and additional parking sensors also help when manoeuvring close to obstacles.
Both SUVs get 6 airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, all-wheel disc brakes, tyre-pressure monitoring and an electronic parking brake.
The Bayon adds a 360-degree camera, front and side parking sensors and a factory-fitted dashcam. The Hyryder counters with an auto-dimming inside mirror. Neither of the compared versions gets ADAS.
Neither the Bayon nor the Urban Cruiser Hyryder have been crash tested by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP. Hyundai describes the Bayon as engineered for 5-star Indian safety standards.
Their standard warranties compare as follows:
The Hyryder’s standard warranty ends after 3 years or 1,00,000km, whichever comes first. The Bayon’s unlimited-distance cover mainly benefits private owners who would cross 1,00,000km within those 3 years.
On paper, the Bayon HX8 CVT justifies its Rs. 35,900 premium for buyers who will use its additional equipment. Its 360-degree camera and front and side parking sensors are useful when navigating tight spaces. The powered driver seat, leatherette upholstery, factory-fitted dashcam and supplied spare tyre strengthen its case.
However, the Hyryder G (O) AT is the more economical choice. It costs less, promises lower fuel expenses and retains major comfort features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and wireless phone charging. Its auto-dimming mirror, rear sunshades and premium audio system also provide reasons to choose it beyond the price saving.
We would stretch to the Bayon if parking assistance, powered seat adjustment and a supplied spare are priorities. Choose the Hyryder if you are satisfied with a rear parking camera and manual seat adjustment, and would prefer to save money at purchase and during everyday use.
