New Hyundai Inster 2024 Revealed: Cute Small Electric Car But Has Big Power
--
VOLKPOP.co - The new Hyundai Inster is here, giving buyers a small, affordable electric car that doesn't compromise on space. It's about the same size as a Hyundai i10, but it has over 100 liters more trunk space than that car.
Inster borrows heavily from Casper's 2021 design, but adds a few electric twists to avoid accusations of pure plagiarism. Think lightly massaged bumpers, a choice of 15″ or 17″ wheels (because the extra electrons apparently require bigger shoes) and flashier LED lights front and rear. More importantly, though, is the Inster's growth spurt - it's 230 mm (9 inches) longer than the Casper with a wheelbase extended by 180 mm (7.1 inches).
Despite the significant expansion, Inster still has a small footprint. We're talking a length of 3,825 mm (150.6 inches), a width of 1,610 mm (63.4 inches) and a height of just 1,575 mm (62 inches) with a wheelbase of 2,580 mm (101.6 inches). Think of it as a micro-SUV with growing pains - bigger than a hamster cage, but still dwarfed by its subcompact SUV siblings from Hyundai like the Bayon, Creta, Venue and Kona.
In Europe, the Hyundai Inster will be positioned between the A-SUV (Toyota Aygo X, Suzuki Ignis) and B-SUV (Jeep Avenger, VW T-Cross) segments, making it a suitable choice for urban environments with its compact dimensions. In addition, Hyundai has announced an upcoming Inster Cross version with a "more rugged, outdoor-focused design".
The interior design is also largely carried over from the equivalent internal combustion engine car, though with technological upgrades and different color options for the fabric upholstery. The digital cockpit has two 10.25-inch screens, which are significantly larger than those in the Casper.
Depending on the trim level, equipment can include a wireless charging dock, 64-color LED ambient lighting, heated front seats, a sunroof and a comprehensive suite of ADAS features for its size.
