The Hyundai Inster has arrived in Ireland with pricing starting from €18,995.
The Inster is based on the petrol-powered ‘Casper’ model that is available in Hyundai's home market of South Korea, but its body and wheelbase have been extended to allow more passenger and luggage space.
According to Hyundai, the Inster can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes using a 120 kW DC charger. Using an AC charger, the Standard battery is said to take four hours to charge, while the Long-Range is around 35 minutes more.
Inside, the Inster comes with a 10.25-inch digital cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation and a wireless charging dock. Hyundai says that all seats can be folded flat – including the driver’s seat – for increased flexibility. A front bench seat option and heated front seats and steering wheel are also available. The second-row seats are split 50/50 and slide and recline. Boot space is said to be 280 litres, increasing to 351 litres with rear seats down.
There are a number of exterior colour choices, with some available in two-tone combinations with a contrasting black roof. Interior trim choices include Black, and Khaki Brown and Newtro Beige two-tone with full cloth trim.
Outside, the Inster has LED daytime running lights and pixel-graphic turn signals, tail lamp, and bumpers. Either 15-inch steel with hubcaps, 15-inch alloy or 17-inch alloy wheels will be offered depending on specification.
