Hyundai INSTER: New A Segment Sub Compact EV, Delivers Unique Design with Segment Leading Range and Versatility

Kathmandu: Hyundai Motor unveils all-electric INSTER has the new A-segment sub-compact urban EV with up to 355 km of targeted driving range according to WLTP.

Hyundai Motor Company unveiled the all-electric INSTER, a new A-segment sub-compact EV offering unique design, segment-leading driving range and versatility, and advanced technology at the 2024 Busan International Mobility Show on Friday. INSTER’s bold design combines a futuristic, innovative image with a spacious interior in a compact SUV body. With a sophisticated technology package that helps deliver safe, refined driving offers fast charging and the best all-electric range (AER) in its segment, at up to 355 km.

With its expanded dimensions, INSTER is positioned squarely between traditional A-segment sub-compact city cars and larger B-segment compact models. This offers the manoeuvrability and ease of use buyers expect with enhanced practicality and flexibility thanks to a more spacious interior and improved luggage capacity.

‘With INSTER, we’ve taken the small SUV image to a bold new place for the global audience,’ said Simon Loasby, Senior Vice President and Head of the Hyundai Design Center. NSTER’s exterior design is characterized by its robust yet compact SUV profile and flush, clean surfaces, with the car’s strong fenders, a high-tech, circuit board-style bumper and a bold skid plate enhancing the INSTER’s front and rear designs.

Alongside its driving range and charging, INSTER offers a wealth of cutting-edge technology, including a multitude of advanced safety and driver assistance features. INSTER also features 64-color LED ambient lighting, a digital cluster, a one-touch sunroof and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Touch (NFC) accessibility.

Likewise, INSTER will launch first in Korea this summer, followed by Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific in due course. Most equipment and technologies will come fitted as standard, with enhanced convenience and design features available optionally. Specifications will be confirmed closer to launch.

An additional variant, called INSTER CROSS , will join the INSTER family in the future, featuring a more rugged, outdoor-focused design. Further details will be announced at a later date.
