Hyundai Announcement

Hyundai is ready to electrify Europe's urban landscape with the all-new Inster, an A-segment electric vehicle designed to take on the likes of the Dacia Spring and the new Citroen e-C3. The Inster comes with two battery options and arguably the most interesting interior in its class.


The Inster base model comes with a 42-kWh battery and a 95-horsepower electric motor, while the longer-range version has a 49-kWh battery and a 113-horsepower motor. Both options deliver a torque of 108 lb-ft, while 0-62 mph times are 11.7s and 10.6s respectively.

The 42 kWh model's WLTP range is 186 miles, while the bigger battery extends it to 221 miles. There's an 11-kW onboard AC charger and 80 kW DC charging support, letting you go from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Plus, the Inster comes with vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality means you can power your external devices, turning your EV into a mobile power station.


The Inster is a master of urban maneuvering, measuring a nimble 150.6 inches in length and 63.4 inches in width. With a wheelbase stretched to 101.6 inches, it comfortably accommodates four passengers, promising a nicely spacious interior for its size.


The smallest electric Hyundai comes with an interior rich in technolgy, including a pair of 10.25-inch screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported and there's a wireless charging pad, and an optional one-touch sunroof.

While Hyundai has yet to release official pricing, early reports suggest the Inster will start around $23,000, which seems like a great price considering the specs. It is set to launch in Korea this summer, followed by Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. In the press release, Hyundai mentioned an Inster Cross model is going to join the lineup sometime later without giving any specifics. We should expect a slightly rugged look with a focus on an outdoorsy lifestyle.


While the entry-level model price will make it attractive, the model with a larger battery will very likely be priced around $26,900, and that's exactly what the larger Citroen e-C3 costs. If Hyundai goes any higher with the price, customers may ask - why not get an even larger Citroen e-C3 Aircross instead?
