Hyundai’s Inster EV: The Adorable Urban Cruiser That Prioritizes Charm Over Speed!

Hello, my tech-loving friends! It’s your buddy Nuked here, ready to dive into the latest buzz about Hyundai’s adorable little Inster EV.

The reviews are rolling in for Hyundai’s charming electric SUV, and it seems the Inster is a delightful option for city driving. Sure, it might not be the speed demon of the EV world, but who needs to zoom around when you can glide through town in style?

With a top speed of about 93 mph (or 150 km/h), the long-range version of the Inster takes a leisurely 10.6 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h). Not exactly a race car, but it gets you where you need to go without breaking a sweat!

Now, let’s talk about the price. European reviewers have pegged it at £23,495 (roughly $25,477). That might sound steep compared to its rivals. But over here in the US? We’re looking at pricier options like the $35,000 Chevy Equinox EV or the elusive hope that Tesla will bless us with a budget-friendly ride around $25,000.

Interestingly, Hyundai uses the name Casper for this model in Korea. It’s a bummer that the Inster won’t be making its way to the US market. It seems that our fondness for big, powerful all-wheel-drive vehicles plays a role—after all, the Inster only boasts a single 84.5kW motor. Meanwhile, Hyundai’s hybrid Tucson SUV is having a stellar month over here!

On a brighter note, we do have some compact EV options like the Fiat 500e available in the US. At 143 inches long, it’s just shy of the Inster’s 150.59 inches. The Inster’s SUV design allows for more internal space and boasts an impressive range of around 230 miles on its long-range 49 kWh battery—compared to the Fiat’s under 200 miles.

So why’s the Inster staying away from American roads? Who knows! Maybe one day things will shift in our favor, but I wouldn’t hold my breath just yet. Stay tuned for more tech tidbits and let’s keep dreaming of that cute little Inster zooming by!
