Unveiled at the Busan International Mobility Show in Korea, the INSTER made a positive first impression courtesy of its robust exterior design, spacious interior and sophisticated technology in an urban-friendly SUV package.
Building on the design legacy of the CASPER, a petrol-powered model available in Korea, the INSTER will be positioned between traditional A-segment sub-compact city cars and larger B-segment compact models, offering a blend of manoeuvrability and ease of use with strong practicality and flexibility.
The characterful exterior design, with its small SUV profile, bold wheelarches, distinctive LED lighting and elevated ride height is complemented by a sleek cockpit that provides enhanced technology thanks to a 10.25” digital cluster and a 10.25” infotainment touchscreen, plus a wireless charging dock in the centre console.The INSTER offers great versatility, too, with all the seats able to be folded flat, to maximise capacity, while those in the second row slide and can be split 50/50, adding to the versatility.
The performance promises to be cutting-edge, too, with both 42kWh and Long Range 49kWh batteries available, allied to an electric motor that delivers either 71.1kW (97PS) or 84.5kW (115PS). This allows the INSTER to deliver a segment-leading driving range of up to 220 miles* (WLTP) with 15” wheels on a single charge.
And with a suite of advanced driver assistance systems, including Surround View Monitor, Blind-spot View Monitor and Intelligent Speed Assist, the INSTER promises a comfortable and safe driving experience, either in urban environments or out of town.

Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK, said:
“The INSTER will be the most compact member of the Hyundai electric vehicle family, and proves that good things really do come in small packages. Its exceptional capabilities and advanced equipment will challenge expectations of what a small EV can deliver, and we have been hugely encouraged by the interest it has generated in the UK since it was revealed. Customers recognise Hyundai’s pedigree in electrification, with the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 both winning World Car of the Year in recent years, and are keen to know more about the INSTER. This exciting British roadshow will allow them to see for themselves what a desirable and innovative vehicle the INSTER is.”
