Based on the South Korean-spec Casper, Hyundai’s new city EV goes to Europe with an extended wheelbase and two battery options.
This is the all-new Hyundai Inster. An entry-level, A-segment electric city car designed specifically for Europe that will likely compete with the Chinese-made Dacia Spring, which is one of the cheapest cars on sale in the European Union. Keen-eyed observers might have noticed that the new Inster looks pretty much identical to the Korean-market Casper, and you’d be right.
The Inster also boasts a battery heating system and a heat pump. In typical Hyundai fashion, the maximum DC fast charging rate is nowhere to be found in the official press release, but the automaker said that both battery versions can be topped up from 10% to 80% state of charge in 30 minutes, which is rather impressive. The company claims the energy consumption is 15.3 kWh/100 km or 4.06 miles/kWh.
