Hyundai Inster: The Best Small Car Ever Made??

[@gregcooper2719]

I think your comments about Hyundai as a brand are spot on. Until 2 years ago I wasn’t a fan, always had Honda, but then I swapped my estate company car with a colleagues 2021 Kona Electric for a month (he needed a bigger car for a family trip) and I was blown away by the build quality and driver experience. Fast forward to end of last year and start of this, car scheme at work has switched to an EV salary sacrifice, and I’ve now got a 2024 Kona Electric, and I love it. Comfy for a big man like me, room in the back for kids and decent boot, great tech on it and just so chill to drive, as well as being efficient in all weathers…

[@TaiViinikka]

Chill to drive is exactly right, it's like a magic carpet that goes where you point it; even more so with snow tires. (I'm in Canada.) Bit envious of your 2024 model but I needed one in 2019, so that's what I have. Five great years of driving!

[@gregcooper2719]

@ thankfully the UK has 3-4 snow days per year max, but the new model has a snow mode. With my job I can control my diary so in recent years if snow has been forecast I’ve worked from home to avoid using the car.

[@Trashed20659]

Not likely. The next wave of sales in EVs is very range sensitive. The Kia EV3 has the range and is coming to the US. Ioniq 5 is going to be US-made in 2025 too, so you can get the full Tax rebate if Agent Orange isn't around to spoil it.

[@VMYeahVN]

@Trashed20659 Other than agent orange (great name lol), none of that really stops Hyundai from bringing the Casper/Inster here. They have all those vehicles co-existing in all other regions. It's not huge but there's definitely a city car market here. Chevy and Nissan are rebooting the Bolt and Leaf respectively and the Casper/Inster would be great competition for that. I think it's mainly just down to if they would be bold enough to replace the still freshly redesigned Kona EV with the Casper/Inster the same way the Kia EV3 will eventually supplant the Kia Niro. And I don't think that'd be appealing to them since the Kona EV redesign is still brand new.

Just checked the price & options list in Denmark.. The 116hp motor is only available with the 'big' 49kWh battery, standard is 97HP/42kWh. Spec sheet lists 10-80% charging time as ~30mins @ 120kW and ~1H on 50KW DC, Type 2 charging is 3 phase 11kW(10.5kw effective). and 4 to 4½ hours for 0-100% for small/big battery respectively. Heatpump is an optional extra (even on highest 'advanced' trim level) so are roof rails, V2L(internal functionality only, external adapter is extra) and the 360 degree parking assist. Most of the optional extras *except* heat pump, heated seats & steering wheel are only available for the highest trim level. Trailer hitch is *NOT* an option. Fully spec'd like the one in the video the car is about €33K Eur, base model is €24K Eur. (including 25% VAT) Still I'd love to own one, maybe in 10 years when they're at a price point accessible for us mere mortals 😅

Compare a 1980's Corolla with the latest model, or the "Reinvented" Mini with the original... almost all all models get fatter and fatter with every update; WHY! Today is the time to demonstrate some really clever repackaging of our daily transport... Instead we get bigger and bigger... From 1980ish to 2010ish we had some size reduction... the recent SUV and truck craze has undone all that!

[@darwinskeeper421]

THIS is the EV I want to see in the United States. I have gravitated to small cars since I started driving in 1981. The Inster has all the things I love a bout a well designed small car. It's small on the outside and roomy on the inside. It appears to be comfortable driving on faster roads and even has decent range. The only thing I'd like to know is what the range would be like at 70-75mph (standard freeway cruising speeds in my part of the country). This looks like something I could see in my driveway.

[@darwinskeeper421]

The only rub is that Hyundai probably won't bring it to the United States.

[@PiefacePete46]

I totally agree with you. The problem with ICE cars of this size has always been stability and noise level. An EV tackles both of these: You may still get more road-noise than you want, depending on the type of surface, but zero engine noise. The low Centre of Gravity fixes the stability. This little honey will NEVER rival a Ferrari P330 for beauty, but it is a real cracker!

Maybe VW can’t get away with cheating on certain aspects now?

I am NOT, for one second, suggesting this is so I would add. It just seems very strange that a company, such as VW that was dominant and once the benchmark for perceived quality, has become second rate so quickly. There has to be a reason other than incompetence. Whatever the problem is they’re ’also rans’ at the moment.

In 10 years, they'll be cheap and they'll be a nice upgrade for any car with current battery technology.

Thus looks like a fantastic car. We have the Ioniq 5 and love it. One of the clever things is the back seats sliding back for more boot/leg room, great to see it in this car too.

[@JamesScholesUK]

Love the proper fold flat seats. Our first car was a 2002 Honda Jazz and it had a TARDIS-like interior due to the seats disappearing. We moved single mattresses (slightly folded) and garden furniture around in it. This has very similar vibes. Everything you want, nothing you don't, no space wasted.

[@tomp4944]

The Kia Ray has had this for a decade. It makes me crazy that all cars don't have it. It's SO sensible. It means just about any car can have a full-sized air mattress in it. Even if you could only fold down the front passenger seat, that changes the available space in the car dramatically. It's so frustrating buying lumber and driving it home in any car -- a fold-down front passenger seat would change that.

[@malcolmfowler8972]

I can never understand why so many modern cars don't have a 'fold down' front passenger seat. I had a small Citroen many years ago where the front seat folded flat and it was so useful to have the ability to transport items longer than 6ft in a small car.

[@paulelverstone8677]

What I find interesting is that in the EV world, brands like Kia and Hyundai - who weren't directly competitive with the more popular ICE marques - are really carving out a niche for themselves in this market. I'm not a fan of the styling of this car, per se, but appreciate the leaps forward brands like Hyundai are making...

[@ashleyjbrew]

It's great seeing smaller EVs that don't require huge battery packs to meet a reasonable range. What we also need is more aerodynamic designs in this price point/size. What's the drag coefficient for this? Hyundai did this really well already with the discontinued original Hyundai ioniq. That car hit better mileage with a larger car, using a smaller battery! Let's remember that. The square design aesthetic is clearly still talking priority in newer vehicles over efficiency.

[@timscott3027]

The ioniq is a much lower longer wider car than this, city cars are box shape for a reason, it gives you huge space in small exterior dimensions. I'm not saying it couldn't be a little more aerodynamic but it's a balance. Some people also live on housing estates with small parking spaces (me) where most new cars are too big to fit comfortably. Anything over b segment size becomes a pain, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this car as it's number1 on my list to replace my older ice car in a few years. I do also love the old ioniq too.

[@trevorwgratton3354]

Whilst I understand its necessity, I personally find the seemingly hyperfixation on drag coefficiencies to be rather tiresome; whilst it certainly delivers efficiency, it's also breeding out character. I appreciated the Ioniq 5 because it seemed to buck that trend, same as this. The first bite is with the eye for me and, whilst I think the Inster's design is slightly hodgepodge, I do appreciate its character and quirkiness. I'm also hoping with better battery tech, it may make it a bit more versatile; sure, its focus is for the city or town, but it's also nice just to go out further afield now and then.

Jack, you showed the phenomenal Kia Ray for about 1.5 seconds. THANK YOU. You didn't mention that it's available as an EV, or that it was the top-selling domestic EV in Korea in the first quarter of this year. You praised the legroom in the Casper when the space in the back of the Ray puts that tiny space to shame. You didn't open the Ray's door to show one side has no pillar so you can jam a LOVESEAT sideways into it. You didn't lie down in it, or show how massive the headroom is so that "you can camp in it" means not just that you can lie down [Why didn't you do that in the Casper? I'd love to see how long it really is. All cars should get that Jack-test.] but that you can prepare a meal and picnic in the Ray upright. The Casper is arguably the best small EV in the world at this point outside of China... except for the Ray which puts it to shame. YES, SHAME. Why are we getting a compromise car when what we need is the real thing? PERHAPS the Kia PBVs will come close to providing this kind of thing, but I suspect they'll all be too big, too wide, too expensive when they come. You talk about driving the tiny streets in Seoul. Those are roughly the original streets, or at least a lot closer to the original sort of layout Seoul had before the war and the US coming in. Seoul also has big wide streets which break up blocks of those small streets. Those big streets are there by American design to move TANKS. And here we have the Casper, a version of the Ray turned into what the Americans (and the rest of NATO?) want -- overpowered, SUV-shaped, cramped inside... The Casper is the Sherman Ray M2, lacking only a turret. I am really glad the UK is getting it. The US won't. We will only get even bigger tanks. Do the world a favor and go back to the Ray and really show it. Show what we could have, but we cannot get. While you're at it, show us Bongo trucks.

I bought mine used (it was previously leased in southern California for three years so it was pretty much perfect) so the price was cheap. My next EV (many years from now, that’s the plan) will probably be from South Korea and definitely not from Tesla.

Great space for a small car, nice touches inside, very good efficiency (although would like to see it in a British Winter rather than lovely Korean climate), coupled with Hyundai knowledge, reliability and warranty make it a great choice for someone. That said I would never consider it just on the range not being large enough. At £23k list for the small battery version it needs to be discounted heavily to compete. You can pick up a brand new long range MG4 for £20k and the extended range for £25k.

Love Fully changed show❤️

[@ArthurLeonov]

I dont think I will ever buy this car, but watching Jack so enthusiastic is worth every minute.

[@reinmutuc8999]

Great review! Hope they'll bring that to the PH market.

[@DwainDwight]

will add to my list to test drive. this is what we need, small practical, sensible & affordable.

[@nakfan]

Such a cute car that pulls the Harry Potter trick of being bigger on the inside than the outside 🤔 Great review too, Jack 👍

[@itekani]

This could be the successor to our Zoe one day. Looks better than Renault 4 for sure.

[@IanBradbury]

Jack, great . As ever. Review, great. As ever. Video, nearly great. Maybe shoot some more b-roll next time to ensure no repeating shots. Music, great. As ever. Nit-picking. Yes, but when you're that good.........

[@eddiecampbell6238]

Nice review Jack!!

[@robertn2951]

Bring this to Canada ASAP !!

[@joepphoto]

From the start of the release it gave me Suzuki WagonR vibes, having owned one for years, that was really exciting, since the WagonR was a fantastic value for money and space car!

[@neglectedloves]

really really love all your highly eloquent videos BUT it would be beyond lovely if you could post ON SCREEN the METRIC equivalents for 6ft6 😉miles and consumption... There are lots of viewers hating to convert and calculate all the time! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@CampGareth]

I'm interested in the measurements in camper mode. With every seat folded down how long is the space? It looks like there's a gap between folded rear and front seats, is there anything to fill it with?

[@MGriff-q1i]

Looks like a very welcome addition to a category of cars where EVs are an ideal option. Small compact cars make most sense as local usage vehicles. The economies of small light EVs at lower suburban speeds is often really good. I guess you could use this for a longer trip but the best use for a small vehicle like this is probably as a second EV for convenience on day to day short trips inside the return range.

[@sirgaymeerkat1994]

give it two years, once the solid state batteries become available then this car will be awesome, just imagine this car lighter, faster charging and double the range!

[@MrChakra108]

SSBs aren't coming anytime soon (for cheap). The problem is a cost not availability per se. They are crazy expensive. You can't have ALL 3 in an EV - CHEAP, HIGH RANGE, FAST CHARGING. You can have 2 of the 3.

[@Dqtube]

Serial production of this type and availability to customers was planned to start last year, but it didn't happen.

[@sirgaymeerkat1994]

@MrChakra108 according to MG they'll be the same price, and MG are planing on selling in 2025

[@ljphoenix4341]

This car would be perfect for getting around Wellington in NZ. Many narrow twisty streets going up and down hills, sharp corners, enough speed to get to 100kmph on regional roads.

[@thumper1747]

Great little car, nicely reviewed by one of the best in the business 👍

[@matbowden9156]

So let me get this straight... You like it? 😁

[@marksteps1712]

i love jack. if i were to buy that car i'd just order the casper and smiley face badges and apply them myself.

[@cerellitv2978]

This looks just like a Volkswagen Polo Cross from 2007. Which is a good thing, I used to drive that car and it was pretty nice. Good view, easy to park.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

Wow! I love the look of this car!

[@BarsMar]

"You can't shame people or bully people to change, you have to show them a better way" is such a protagonist rant that falls on deaf ears 😅😅

[@HyperVanilo]

Recently they announced their new concept called RN24: it's a small car with Ioniq 5N motor, if in the future it will become Inster N with that big power they're out of their mind

[@georgedaville4662]

Great review Jack of a fabulous car, I agree this is the sort of car the most of really actually need in reality👍😎

[@petergilbert72]

Loved seeing plenty of people cruising by in the background on their hyper efficient, inexpensive, forever lasting bicycles. 😃

[@tomp4944]

Whereas I was just HUNGRY throughout the video, as Jack passed all those Korean restaurants.

[@MaskedMammal]

This car is absolutely perfect for me, aside from maybe a few tiny nitpicks. It needs to come to the USA. Forget the "we don't do small cars here" nonsense - SOMEONE has to fill that void and it sure as heck wouldn't be bad to fill it with the best option in its class! Even in spite of the relatively "short" range it gets, I still think if its charge curve is decent, it would at least be significantly better on road trips over my 22 Leaf +.

[@doggiehowzer]

Just saw thers in Seoul a couple of weeks ago and I was gutted to see it was an ICE car. So it was quite a pleasant surprise seeing this review and realising it is an EV too elsewhere in the world

[@aussieideasman8498]

I really like your work - you're a natural, and I do like the Inster, but you didn't say what the recharge time was. Do those seats fold so long and flat so you can sleep while recharging?

[@logicalChimp]

They did show all the seats folded flat - and yes, it did look like you could sleep on them :D

[@MrAdopado]

I always sleep whilst recharging ... but I just use my own bed in my own house!

[@aussieideasman8498]

@@logicalChimp The nuances of the English language; I saw the video and the question was just for the sleep while charging part. BTW, I can sleep on all the seats that normally recline. Even better for my slight case of Apnoea.

[@aussieideasman8498]

@@MrAdopado Same, same. I hate having to use a public charger but sometimes it's unavoidable. Probably about five times a year.

[@pumpkinhead456]

I'm sold! (In 3 years once it's more affordable)

[@martinj7083]

How will the Inster relate to the upcoming Kia EV2? Same platform, or will the EV2 use a smaller version of the e-GMP platform?

[@grahamcook9289]

Will it be available in RHD, and if so, when and at what price?

[@sylvainlaurin1012]

don't forget its brother, the Kia EV2 !!!

[@grahamcook9289]

The larger battery offering of the two is a viable proposition, but at what price? Is it the same or close in price to an equivalent ICE?

[@kjh789az]

Thanks! Could have done with a look at the switchgear and internal arrangements. Proper physical switches are direct and operable when driving. Virtual switches less so. UK price for medium and slightly larger battery versions? Does it come with an allowence of Korean fried chicken?

[@tomp4944]

It should come with a case of really good ramyeun.

[@EugeneLambert]

Great review, as always,and good for Hyundai making such a practical small EV. Maybe one day I'll replace our Fiat 500e with one. 😊

[@Mamo878]

Damn, that thing is very nice and extremely practical!

[@samwhite8093]

Is that white mini following Jack?
