The new Hyundai Inster is the cheapest electric vehicle from the South Korean brand, which aims to conquer the European market with a versatile city car.
With a range of up to 360 kilometers, the Inster promises great flexibility for day trips and leisure activities that require longer journeys.
To enhance comfort and practicality in daily life, Hyundai offers a wide range of accessories that provide additional functionality and protection. An excellent example is the foldable table installed on the back of the seat, which transforms the rear seat area into a practical mobile workspace – perfect for working with a tablet, sketching, or simply enjoying a snack break.
To help keep things organized, a collapsible box adds structure to the trunk area and can be easily stored when not needed.
For a more refined user experience, the suit hanger ensures that coats or shirts do not get wrinkled – ideal for those traveling for work or on business trips.
In addition to the practical side of the interior, Hyundai has also focused on the image of this Inster to enhance its expressive character. To achieve this, the South Korean brand offers a selection of design accessories. The pixel-style stickers, in twilight gray or ice gray, visually reference the vehicle’s digital design language. The side trim lines are available in piano black or brushed optical aluminum, adding contrast and sophistication to the exterior profile. Inside, the door panels in black or beige allow for subtle personalization, while the stainless steel entry guards with the Hyundai brand provide protection and a premium appearance. Other details, such as an umbrella holder, offer cohesive and high-quality design improvements.
For those who enjoy outdoor adventures, the Inster also features an adapter to activate the external Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, which allows the use of the car’s high-voltage battery to power external devices, such as laptops, camping equipment, or electric bicycles.
The adapter connects to the vehicle’s charging port and allows access to a normal household electrical outlet (up to 2.3 kW).
Remember that the Hyundai Inster is available in the national market in two versions, the entry-level variant, Standard-Range, with a 97 hp electric motor powered by a 42 kWh battery, while the Long-Range variant is equipped with a 115 hp electric motor and a 49 kWh battery. Both variants provide 147 Nm of torque.
In terms of charging, the new Inster’s battery can be recharged from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes at a 120 kW direct current (DC) charging station. At an 11 kW alternating current (AC) outlet, a full charge takes 4 hours for the base model or 4 hours and 35 minutes for the Long Range version. The Inster is also equipped with the V2L function, which allows powering other electrical devices, and it announces a range of 327 km in the entry-level version, in a combined WLTP cycle, and 473 km in an urban cycle, while the Long-Range variant announces a range of 360 km in a combined cycle and 493 km in an urban cycle.
