Hyundai Motor Company today unveiled the first official teaser images of its new A-segment sub-compact electric vehicle (EV): INSTER.
INSTER is derived from “intimate” and “innovative”, with the name of Hyundai’s new sub-compact EV also reflecting the evolution from the Korea-only, petrol-powered CASPER, introduced in 2021.
This model will set new standards in terms of driving range, technology, and safety features, redefining what buyers can expect from a vehicle in this class.
The images reveal a robust yet compact SUV profile with signature LED daytime running lights, plus pixel-graphic turn signals and tail lamps that define the new sub-compact EV’s design.
Hyundai is also outlining INSTER’s projected maximum range of 355 kilometres (WLTP) on a single charge.
This model will make its global debut at the Busan International Mobility Show later this month.
The Hyundai Inster will likely go on sale in Europe at the end of 2024, and it could have a competitive base price of around 20,000 euros.
According to the Auto Daily report, series production will start in July and Hyundai will sell it in more than 50 countries, including right-hand drive markets like Japan.
Thus, it’s safe to assume that customers in the United Kingdom (UK) will also be able to purchase the Inster.
