About the Hyundai Inster

The Hyundai Inster is an A-segment electric crossover based on the Korean-market Casper, significantly lengthened to accommodate a larger battery and improved rear legroom. Positioned as one of the most affordable EVs in Europe, it features a distinctive pixel-themed lighting design and a versatile interior with flat-folding seats. The 49kWh Long Range version offers a WLTP range of up to 229 miles, making it highly competitive against rivals like the Dacia Spring and Citroën ë-C3. Its upright, boxy proportions provide surprising practicality and visibility for a vehicle with such a small footprint.
