Hyundai will fully reveal the subcompact 'Inster' EV later this month in Busan, but the first teaser already has us excited. We're just not sure if it's coming here.
Hyundai has revealed the first teaser images of its upcoming subcompact EV, the Inster. Based on the adorable Korean-market Casper and looking similarly cute in profile, this may be one of the best small EV designs on the market. Whether it'll be on our market, however, remains to be seen. We already knew, however, that Europe was getting a Casper-based EV, we just didn't know it'd get a new name. Our past report indicates it could start below $22,000 in Europe.
Second, and more obviously, the Inster looks tiny. Americans are famously averse to small vehicles, and despite multiple attempts from Fiat, Mini and others, that truism seems to hold for EVs, too. Finally, the Inster is based on the Korea-only Hyundai Casper, which likely wasn't designed with U.S. regulations in mind. The Inster will be based on the internal-combustion Hyundai Casper, pictured here.
