Hyundai Motor UK has announced the pricing and specifications for the All-new INSTER, which is Hyundai’s first small EV for the European market.
The INSTER, Hyundai’s first small SUV EV, is a marvel of innovation designed for urban driving and longer trips. With a range of up to 229 miles and optimized recharge times, including a heat pump and battery heating system, it’s a game-changer in the EV market.
The exterior design of the INSTER showcases a robust yet compact SUV profile, clean surfaces, and strong design elements. It shares its pixel design on the front bumper with the IONIQ family and features a bold skid plate that enhances the front and rear design. The car’s personality comes through with an LED daytime running light signature, pixel-graphic turn signals, tail lamps, and bumpers. Customers can personalize the car’s appearance with LED projection headlamps and a two-tone exterior with a contrasting black roof. Depending on the specification, the vehicle will be offered with either 15-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels.
