“With Inster, we’ve taken the small SUV image to a bold new place for the global audience,” said Simon Loasby, head of the Hyundai Design Center.

Technology includes a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster plus 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation and a wireless charging dock which forms part of a compact centre console designed to create a greater sense of spaciousness.

The claimed segment leading projected range is 355km (WLTP) (220 miles) on a single charge for the long range model with estimated energy consumption of 15.3kWh/100km.

Charged using a 120kW DC high power charging station, the new EV can charge from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes “under optimal conditions”.

The car will launch first in Korea this summer, followed by Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
