Hyundai Motor UK has announced pricing and specification for the All-new INSTER, Hyundai’s 1st small EV for the European Market.
The first small SUV EV in Hyundai’s electric line-up, INSTER is not only a practical choice for urban driving but can also deliver strong performance on longer drives with a range of up to 229 miles and equipment to deliver optimised recharge times, with heat pump and battery heating system as standard.
With a segment-leading projected range of up to 229 miles on a single charge for the Long-Range model, INSTER redefines what is possible from a small urban EV, delivering impressive flexibility with an estimated energy consumption of up to 4.2 mi/kWh. INSTER comes equipped with an 11kW on-board charger as standard, as does a battery heating system and high-efficiency heat pump, optimising both range and charging times. External and internal Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality provides power for external devices, allowing bi-directional charging without requiring additional equipment. This enables customers to freely use or charge devices such as laptops, electric bicycles, scooters and camping equipment.
INSTER offers the most complete technology package in the segment, including comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features such as Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Rear (PCA-R) and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 1.5 (FCA 1.5). Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) are also offered, as are Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA), Safety Exit Warning (SEW), Smart Cruise Control (SCC) w/ Stop and Go, Highway Driving Assist 1.5 (HDA 1.5), Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), High Beam Assist (HBA), Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA) and Rear Occupant Alert (ROA).

The 01 features comprehensive equipment including 15” alloy wheels, 10.25” digital instrument cluster, 10.25” touchscreen display with navigation, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Bluelink connected car services with over-the-air updates, rear parking sensors with rear view camera and dynamic parking control, smart cruise control with stop/go, automatic headlights, smart key with keyless entry and start/stop button. Comfort features include air conditioning with climate control, leather steering wheel with height and reach adjustment, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors.

Priced from £26,745, the INSTER 02 49kWh 115PS builds on the 01’s specification with the addition of 17” alloy wheels, front parking sensors, LED projection headlamps and LED rear lights, privacy glass and roof rails.
