The A-segment is growing with EV offerings across all brands
Hyundai Motor Company today unveiled the first official teaser images of its new A-segment sub-compact EV: INSTER.
INSTER is derived from "intimate" and "innovative", with the name of Hyundai's new sub-compact EV also reflecting the evolution from the Korea-only, petrol-powered CASPER, introduced in 2021. INSTER will set new standards in terms of driving range, technology, and safety features, redefining what buyers can expect from a vehicle in this class. The images reveal a robust yet compact SUV profile with signature LED daytime running lights, plus pixel-graphic turn signals and tail lamps that define the new sub-compact EV’s design. Hyundai is also outlining INSTER’s projected maximum range of 220 miles (WLTP) on a single charge. INSTER will make its global debut at the Busan International Mobility Show later this month.
The city car segment of the marketplace is becoming a key ground for all car manufacturers for EV sales. From Volkswagen Group's as yet un-named entry level EV project announcement last month, Dacia releasing the Spring as the most affordable new EV in the UK, to existing models like the Fiat 500e - it's clear to see how important this sector is to electric mobility. With Supermini's being one of the most popular choices in the UK car market, this growing choice of cars can only help the transition to Net Zero for the UK.
