Recently, Hyundai Motor's all-new pure electric small SUV, Hyundai Inster, officially ushered in its debut. THE NEW CAR, WHICH CAN BE SEEN AS AN ALL-ELECTRIC VERSION OF CASPER, WILL BE LAUNCHED IN SOUTH KOREA FIRST THIS SUMMER, FOLLOWED BY EUROPE, THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION. The price of the new car is expected to be 22,000 pounds, or about 202,000 yuan.
Quick overview of the pros and cons
Advantages: The appearance is distinctive, and the passenger seat can be reclined
Disadvantages: Slightly shorter range
IN TERMS OF APPEARANCE, THE NEW CAR AS A WHOLE STILL CONTINUES THE DESIGN STYLE OF MODERN CASPER, AND THE ROUND HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE A RETRO ATMOSPHERE. In addition, the daytime running lights above the Hyundai INSTER adopt a pixel shape and are equipped with a closed grille and other designs, which further highlight the new energy attributes.
The new model is positioned as a small SUV with a body size of 3,825/1,610/1,575 mm and a wheelbase of 2,580 mm. It also offers 15-inch and 17-inch low-drag wheels for consumers to choose from. The rear shape echoes the front and rear of the car, and the design of the dot matrix taillights is recognizable when lit.
Inside, there are dual 10.25-inch screens with through-storage slots under the center display, plenty of physical buttons, and a wireless phone charging panel. Each seat can be fully folded flat, while the two rear seats have slides that can be adjusted to give passengers a more comfortable ride or increase storage space.
In terms of power, the entry-level model will be equipped with a 96-horsepower electric motor, which can accelerate from zero to 100 in 11.7 seconds and have a WLTP range of about 300 km. The high-spec model will be equipped with a 113-horsepower electric motor, which accelerates from zero to 100 in 10.6 seconds and has a WLTP range of about 355 kilometers. The endurance performance is not excellent compared to domestic new energy, but it is more than enough for use in South Korea. In addition, the new car can complete 10%-80% energy replenishment in 30 minutes using fast charging. AT THE SAME TIME, THE HYUNDAI INSTER WILL ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH Level 2+ DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURES, INCLUDING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND LANE KEEPING.
