HYUNDAI INSTER - SIMPLY BRILLIANT!

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Inster is presented as an exceptional value proposition in the small EV market, challenging established norms with its pricing and practicality. The reviewer highlights its impressive range, comparable to a Tesla Model 3 standard range, and a starting price under £20,000, making it a standout option. Key strengths include its narrow width for easy urban driving and parking, and remarkable interior practicality, particularly the highly configurable boot space with independently moving rear seats and a fold-flat option. The interior, while quirky and perhaps an acquired taste with its "grandma spec" styling and numerous buttons, is praised for its functionality and surprising quality feel in areas like the steering wheel and stalks, reminiscent of the Ionic 5. Downsides are minimal, with the front-mounted charging port being a concern for potential low-speed impacts and the exterior styling being divisive. Performance is described as adequate rather than exciting, but the comfortable ride and quiet cabin are significant positives. The reviewer concludes that for its price, the Inster offers an unparalleled package, making it the best value EV tested.
