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.
A Hyundai Motor Korea official said, “Casper Electric, which was born as a new car class that has never existed before, will be a standard car that will lead the popularization in the domestic electric vehicle market. We will provide an electrification experience that exceeds customers’ expectations by adding unrivaled productivity to Casper’s unique character.”
Electric Casper will have an estimated range of 315 km under Korea’s standards while the Inster will have 355 km of range under European’s WLTP.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor plans to present Casper Electric for the first time in front of customers at the Busan Mobility Show on the 27th of this month (Thursday).
