Designed to challenge expectations in the smallest electric segment, INSTER Lounge brings a new level of comfort, material quality and interior flexibility to compact electric mobility. With luxurious and distinctive design elements, upgraded materials and a highly adaptable interior layout, it offers a more refined and personal interpretation of INSTER.</p><blockquote style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;With INSTER Lounge, we prove that an urban SUV can combine design, comfort, and flexibility with exclusivity. As a distinctive addition to the INSTER line-up, it expands the appeal of our smallest electric model, which remains the second best-selling A-segment EV in Europe in 2026, like in 2025*&rdquo; &ndash; Xavier Martinet, President and CEO, Hyundai Motor Europe</blockquote><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Key highlights:</strong></p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Builds on the strengths of INSTER, enhancing comfort, design and interior refinement while maintaining everyday usability and efficiency</span></li><li><span>Premium-inspired interior centred around a &lsquo;space of one&rsquo;s own&rsquo;</span></li><li><span>Cloth and leather upholstery </span></li><li><span>Flexible interior with full-folding seats and adaptable layout</span></li><li><span>New Glow Mint exterior colour</span></li><li><span>Dedicated design elements including 17-inch alloy wheels and silver side claddings</span></li><li><span>Available with two battery and motor configurations: 71 kW (97 PS) with the 42 kWh battery and 84 kW (115 PS) with the 49 kWh battery</span></li><li><span>Driving range of up to approximately 360 kilometres (WLTP)</span></li></ul><p><strong>What defines INSTER Lounge?</strong></p><p>INSTER Lounge is positioned as a more comfort-focused and design-oriented variant within the INSTER line-up. While INSTER is designed to deliver accessible, efficient and practical urban mobility, INSTER Lounge introduces a stronger emphasis on interior quality and a more refined in-car experience. Unlike the INSTER Cross variant, which focuses on an outdoor-inspired character, INSTER Lounge is defined by a more sophisticated, interior-driven concept, offering a calm and refined environment tailored to everyday use.</p><p><strong>How does INSTER Lounge elevate interior comfort and atmosphere?</strong></p><p>At the core of INSTER Lounge is a clear focus on creating a more relaxed, lounge-like interior environment. The model features a combination of cloth and leather upholstery, a knit-type headliner and carefully integrated colour accents, delivering a noticeably higher level of perceived quality compared to typical vehicles in this segment. The interior concept is designed to feel both comfortable and personal, creating a space that supports everyday use while enhancing the overall driving experience through improved materials and tactile quality. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be\"\n                data-id=\"705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be/-/inline/no/INSTER+Lounge_Dashboard.jpg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/705a9e87-73b1-46a9-bbb9-554a754ad1be/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p><strong>How flexible is the interior of INSTER Lounge for everyday use?</strong></p><p>INSTER Lounge combines comfort with versatility through a highly adaptable seating layout. Full-folding front seats, sliding and reclining rear seats, and a luggage board allow the interior to be adjusted easily depending on passenger or cargo needs. This flexibility enables a wide range of use cases, from urban commuting to leisure activities, reinforcing INSTER Lounge&rsquo;s role as a practical everyday companion.</p><p><strong>What design elements distinguish INSTER Lounge from the standard INSTER?</strong></p><p>While INSTER is defined by its clean, functional and urban-focused design, INSTER Lounge introduces a more refined and expressive interpretation of the compact electric vehicle. A newly developed radiator and bumper grille, combined with exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels, give INSTER Lounge a more structured and confident appearance. Distinctive silver side claddings and carefully integrated design details add a stronger visual presence and a more premium character. This differentiation is further reinforced by the Glow Mint exterior colour, introduced with INSTER Lounge. Together with dedicated interior colour and material combinations, it creates a more personal and design-led identity. These elements elevate INSTER Lounge beyond a typical A-segment vehicle, combining distinctive design with a more sophisticated and contemporary appearance.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                                    srcset=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/ 1x, https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5/-/resize/2400x/-/format/auto/ 2x\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5\"\n                data-id=\"9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5/-/inline/no/INSTER+Lounge_Interior.jpg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/9f0a5968-8f1e-4815-813e-d2dd4ec9d3c5/-/resize/1200x/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p><strong>What technology, comfort and accessory features are available for INSTER Lounge?</strong></p><p>INSTER Lounge comes equipped with a comprehensive range of technology and comfort features. A 10.25-inch infotainment display and matching digital instrument cluster are fitted as standard, alongside driver assistance systems, providing intuitive operation and enhanced driver support. Additional comfort features such as wireless charging pads are available as optional extras, allowing customers to tailor the vehicle to their preferences. Hyundai also offers a wide range of accessories, including interior storage solutions and roof racks, further expanding the versatility of INSTER Lounge for everyday use and leisure activities.</p><p><strong>What features enhance the in-car experience?</strong></p><p>INSTER Lounge integrates a range of features designed to improve comfort, usability and entertainment, including natural leather seats and new premium speakers with Kevlar membranes. The interior layout prioritises intuitive operation, ensuring that key functions are easily accessible, while the now standard fully foldable front-row seats and sliding, adjustable second-row seats add flexibility. Together with the knitted headliner and sun visors, these elements contribute to a more refined and enjoyable in-car experience, even within the compact dimensions of the A-segment.</p><p><strong>What performance and range can customers expect from INSTER Lounge?</strong></p><p>INSTER Lounge can be specified with either a 42 kWh battery combined with a 71 kW (97 PS) electric motor, or a 49 kWh battery paired with an 84 kW (115 PS) motor. Depending on the configuration, it offers a driving range of up to approximately 360 kilometres (WLTP) on a single charge. The model also supports fast charging, enabling the battery to be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 30 minutes under optimal conditions, making it well suited for urban mobility and everyday use.</p><p><strong>What colour options are available for INSTER Lounge?</strong></p><p>INSTER Lounge offers a carefully curated range of exterior options. Besides the Glow Mint finish, as a distinctive colour introduced with the model, the exterior palette includes Atlas White, Unbleached Ivory, Tomboy Khaki and Abyss Black Pearl. Inside, Hyundai offers a special colour scheme: an exclusive Dark Grey and Mint Green combination with Glow Mint accents. </p><div\n    id='gallery-24ee389d-e1f5-45a7-abfa-cd376b80cbdb'\n

HQ<br>\u200b</strong>Hyundai Motor Europe HQ was formally established in 2000, with its main office located in Offenbach, Germany. Serving as the regional headquarters, it is responsible for the sales of vehicles in 42 European countries through over 2,000 sales and aftersales outlets. With 603,542 vehicles sold in 2025, Hyundai holds a market share of 4.2 % across EU35 (EU, EFTA, UK, Eastern Europe and Turkey). More than 70 per cent of Hyundai vehicles sold in the region are models engineered, tested, and manufactured in Europe, tailored to meet the specific needs of European customers. These vehicles are designed and engineered in Hyundai&rsquo;s R&amp;D facilities in Germany, and produced at the company&rsquo;s Czech and Turkish production plants.</p><p>In 2025, 24 per cent of Hyundai cars sold in Europe were electrified vehicles, including INSTER, named 2025 World Electric Vehicle and the IONIQ 9 named Germany&rsquo;s 2026 Premium Car of the Year. This solidifies Hyundai&rsquo;s position as one of the leading manufacturers in terms of electrification in Europe as the company undergoes a transformation into a Smart Mobility Solutions Provider. Moreover, about 80 per cent of Hyundai&rsquo;s current line-up in Europe is available as an electrified version.</p><p>With its vision of &ldquo;Progress for Humanity&rdquo; and a strong commitment to electrification, Hyundai is accelerating the expansion of its battery\u2011electric vehicle line-up, electrifying all models in Europe by 2027. A major milestone on this journey will be the launch of the highly anticipated IONIQ 3 in 2026, set to become a key highlight in Hyundai&rsquo;s EV portfolio. Hyundai offers a unique Five-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty package with all new cars sold in the region. This package includes a five-year warranty with no mileage limit, five years of roadside assistance, and five years of vehicle health checks, providing customers with added peace of mind.</p><p>More information about Hyundai Motor Europe HQ and its products is available at <a href=\"http://www.hyundai.news/\">www.hyundai.news</a>.</p><p>Follow Hyundai Motor Europe HQ on X <a href=\"https://x.com/hyundaieurope\">@HyundaiEurope</a>, Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hyundai.europe/\">@Hyundai.Europe</a> and TikTok <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@hyundai.europe\">@Hyundai.Europe</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
