Hyundai’s latest car, the INSTER: Here’s what you need to know

Usually, small cars get overlooked for tech, but the latest subcompact revealed by Hyundai is an exception.

Hyundai Motor Company has rolled out the INSTER, a brand-new electric vehicle, at this year's Busan International Mobility Show. The car is part of the A-segment for sub-compacts and brings a lot into a small package.

The INSTER is a small SUV but feels really spacious inside because of its smart design, which includes a longer body and wheelbase than usual for its size. The structure gives drivers more room inside and helps with carrying more stuff, making it a useful choice for everyday errands.

What's really good about the INSTER is how far it can go on a single charge. It offers the best all-electric range (AER), capable of traveling up to 355 km on a single charge, thanks to a highly efficient 42 kWh standard battery, with an optional 49 kWh long-range battery also available. 

The battery options power a single motor setup that delivers 96 hp in the base variant and 113 hp in the Long-Range model, both producing 147 Nm of torque.

Inside the car, Hyundai didn't hold back on technology. The INSTER has a big 10.25-inch screen for maps and apps and another same-sized screen right in front of the driver for all the car's stats. 

The INSTER also includes Hyundai's latest Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which includes features like a Surround View Monitor, Blind-spot View Monitor, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, among others, making it one of the safest and most technologically advanced vehicles in its class.

Hyundai is really pushing what a small car can be. The INSTER will first launch in Korea this summer and will eventually be available elsewhere. Until it arrives here, you can check out other Hyundai models at AutoDeal and get a quote for the ones you like.
