Inster: Compact car, big possibilities
5 September 2024 – As the city demands more versatile and eco-friendly cars, the all-new Hyundai INSTER rises to the challenge, showcasing advanced technologies within the city car segment. By offering equipment typically found in higher-segment cars, this standout model in Hyundai’s electric line-up is not only a practical choice for urban driving but is also a convincing option if looking for awesome amenities in a compact package.
INSTER sets a new benchmark for what you can expect from this sort of car.
Range to keep you on the go
INSTER’s segment-leading all-electric range can keep up with your fast-paced life…and more. Its range is extraordinary for the city car segment: The long-range battery lasts up to 355 kilometres on a single charge.
This long range makes INSTER a versatile option for whatever lifestyle you lead. Commuting to the office, running errands after work, and checking out that new Korean barbecue spot for dinner – all without having to stop at a charging station. At weekends, you can easily take a trip out of the city. Imagine having the freedom to explore without worrying about finding a place to recharge.
Battery as efficient as you
The battery heating system guarantees optimal battery performance regardless of weather conditions. Even if you live in a city notorious for its frigid winters, have no fear! The system includes a heat pump that will come in handy to combat those low temperatures that can negatively impact battery efficiency. The benefit of the heat pump is that it warms the battery to minimise energy loss, extending the range in winter and reducing the time to reach full efficiency. Coupled with the in-built navigation system, INSTER will tell you when and where to charge during your trip and even precondition the battery.
If you rely on a car for daily commuting, this means more consistent and reliable performance – whether in the summer or winter.
All devices, fully charged
Smartphone on the verge of dying? A thing of the past! How about your laptop? Or your e-bike? Or even your electric grill? With Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, INSTER serves as a power bank on four wheels.
This feature is a game-changer for this segment. Imagine spending a day at the park with your friend, but their e-scooter is out of juice. With V2L, you can recharge it and extend your day together. If you want to get away and enjoy the great outdoors, this tech can power up your camping gear, too. V2L not only means top convenience but also an eco-friendly and active lifestyle.
Versatile for all your adventures
Inside INSTER, flexibility is the name of the game. The cabin is designed to adapt to different situations. If you find yourself in a tight parking space, you don’t have to be an Olympic gymnast to squeeze your way out. The front row includes a walk-through design for easy access between the driver’s seat and the passenger side. That way, you can enjoy complete freedom of movement in the front row.
In the second row, the seats can recline and slide, offering more comfort, extra legroom, and more cargo space. And the cherry on top: All seats, including the driver’s seats, can be folded flat. Talk about endless possibilities! Need to fit a portable fridge for a beach day in the car? Just slide the rear seats forward and make space! The metro isn’t running, and your friend needs a lift to their recital? Fold some seats flat and make room for your friend and their cello! Transporting larger items is no problem for INSTER.
This level of interior versatility is uncommon in this segment, making INSTER a practical choice if you’re cruising around the city with your friends, moving apartments, or going on a camping trip with your partner.
Entry-level car with top-level tech
You would assume that an entry-level car would come with basic equipment. But with INSTER, you’ll have to rethink that! Equipped with a comprehensive tech package that includes advanced infotainment and connectivity features like a 10.25-inch digital cluster and touchscreen, you can have seamless access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings – all while staying informed and connected.
High tech also means top safety. INSTER is equipped with the latest Hyundai Smart Sense suite, a range of advanced driver-assistance systems. These systems give you more confidence and peace of mind while behind the wheel, offering, among others, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot monitoring.
Eco-materials to match your lifestyle
Hyundai is just as committed to sustainability as you are. That is why INSTER utilises eco-materials throughout its design. The high-gloss black paint on the exterior is made from recycled waste tyres, maintaining a sleek, modern look while reducing environmental impact. Inside, the cabin features recycled PET bottles and bio-polypropylene derived from sugarcane.
These eco-materials align with Hyundai’s brand vision of ‘Progress for Humanity’, aiming to shape a more sustainable tomorrow for future generations.
By showcasing features typically reserved for higher segments, INSTER redefines what you can expect from a city car. From its impressive electric range and V2L to its versatile interior and segment-topping tech, INSTER delivers a driving experience that is both practical and elevated.
Hyundai is setting a new standard for the segment. As INSTER enters the market, it is positioned to make an impact, challenge expectations, and offer urban drivers a compelling choice.
