Inster ready to rock

Hyundai’s first fully-electric model, Inster, is available to purchase now.

All-new Inster delivers stylish, futuristic design inside and out, ample driving range, and an array of leading-edge technologies in a smart, compact package.

Inside, the ultra-flexible interior includes bench-style front seating, and 50:50 split-fold rear seats which also slide and recline, maximising space and versatility.

Inster is packed with features, including a 10.25-inch full digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen, Bluelink Connected Car Services, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and an extensive Hyundai SmartSense suite as standard.

Inster is powered by a single motor driving the front wheels that produces 71.1kW in the Standard Range variant and 84.5kW in the Extended Range.

Inster Standard Range 42kWh battery brings a driving range of 327km (15-inch wheels).

The Extended Range model’s 49kWh battery extends up to 360km (17-inch wheels).

Inster Cross comes exclusively with the 49kWh extended-range battery.

When plugged into a DC high-power charging station, delivering 120kW or more, Inster can fast-charge from 10 to 80 per cent in as little as 30 minutes.

Adjustable regenerative braking lets the driver tailor the flow and efficiency of their drive using paddle shifters, for an enhanced battery boost in traffic or a smoother cruise on the open road.

Inster’s Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality lets customers charge or power devices such as electric bicycles, scooters and camping equipment anywhere they go.

“All-new Inster distils the progressive style and advanced technology of the award-winning Hyundai EV range into a striking compact SUV, which we’re excited to add to our local line-up,” Hyundai’s Don Romano said.

“Inster presents a compelling package for customers seeking an attainable, feature-packed compact electric vehicle, making it a versatile choice for both city commuters and those looking to explore beyond urban limits.”
