Hyundai Motor has launched the Inster, a new A segment subcompact EV, at the 2024 Busan International Mobility Show.
It is positioned between traditional A segment subcompact city cars and larger B segment compacts.
"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.
