Inster? What’s an Inster? Do you mean Instagram? Hyundai’s latest electric vehicle (EV) is a style-focussed entry-level electric SUV that undercuts all its existing Ioniq range and even the Kona Electric in terms of size. Based on the combustion-powered Casper, which has been on sale in Korea for a few years now, the pint-sized Hyundai Inster is slightly longer but still measures in at only 3.8 metres long.

That makes it much smaller than a Venue. Competition is fierce at this end of the EV market, with plenty of rivals including the likes of the BYD Dolphin, GWM Ora and MG 4 hatchbacks, though the Inster is smaller than all of those. Similarly sized EV rivals with styling front of mind include the Fiat 500e and Mini Cooper Electric hatches.



WATCH: Jack Quick’s video walkaround of the 2025 Hyundai Inster Ahead of the Hyundai Inster’s local launch in February next year, we got a chance to drive a Korean-specification example called the Casper Electric, as part of its international media launch. How does it stack up? Read along to find out. Hyundai Australia hasn’t detailed the lineup, pricing or specifications of the Inster just yet.

The company has, however, confirmed it will offer a higher-riding Cross version in addition to the standard model. When the Inster launches locally, it’ll go up against stiff competition from the likes of the Chinese-made BYD Dolphin, GWM Ora and MG 4, as mentioned above. All of these electric hatches have sub-$40k starting prices.
