Hyundai INSTER

Overview

The Hyundai INSTER is the smallest battery-electric car on Hyundai's UK site. It comes as INSTER 01, INSTER 02 and INSTER Cross, priced from 22,995, 27,005 and 28,245 pounds. Two batteries are offered, 42 kWh and a 49 kWh Long Range pack. The page also advertises a finance deal at 0 percent APR or a deposit contribution, and a Motability option. TrustList records only the figures printed on the model page, and it names the variant each belongs to, because battery size, wheels and equipment differ between the 01, 02 and Cross. Readers who need charging power or warranty terms should check Hyundai's trims page, since this page does not print them.

Range and performance

The page quotes a WLTP range of up to 229 miles with the 49 kWh battery on 15 inch wheels. The 0 to 62 mph time of 10.6 seconds applies to the 49 kWh battery only, and top speed is 93 mph.

Driver assistance

The INSTER 01 has Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go. The INSTER Cross adds Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Blind Spot View Monitor and Surround View Monitor. Hyundai also refers to a wider suite of driver assistance systems.

Charging and awards

An exterior charging port can be used with a converter for Vehicle-to-Load output of up to 3.6 kW. The page does not state DC charging power, charge time, update support, a warranty or an app. It lists awards including Golden Steering Wheel 2025 for the best car under 25,000 euros and World Electric Car of the Year 2025.
